What type of music do you like Coco ?

[Coco(R)]

Classical :) but im trying to play something in electric and classical dont sound so good in it.. so i wanna play some rock or metal not too hard

Check out Yngwie Malmsteen - Concertos for the electric guitar in Eb minor, opus 1. Yeah, he's really fast, but if you bulk up as a classical player, you could play some of his stuff... he takes classical themes and styles, plays em on an electric, adds a band... and voila... speed metal!

yeah i really like how that guy plays

Easy rock and metal bands to check out:

AC-DC (some basic stuff and some more challenging stuff)
Black Sabbath (easy)
Judas Priest (some easy stuff)
Scorpions (lots of easy stuff)
Green Day (easy)
Offspring (some easy,some harder)
Sum 41 (some easy,some harder)

Suicidal Tendencies (their first album anyway)
Metallica's early stuff is pretty easy (Kill 'Em All)

Black Sabbath and Green Day are the easiest(and they sound good too)I'd start with these two bands for sure.

for more of a challenge try:
Metallica
Megadeth
Slayer
