acoustic guitar lessons for beginners uk image
I am looking to buy a guitar because I feel like I waste my time on Xbox and Facebook, and i wanna be able to always be around something I love in my life, music. I am planning on learning all of my favorite band's songs, The Beatles. I love all their songs and I want to be able to play them. Could you refer me to a type and style guitar that would be best suited for playing Beatles Music? Also, could you give me some beginner tips or some videos on how to learn this stuff? Thanks so much!
Answer
Well, if you're just learning how to play guitar, i would suggest starting with an acoustic. If this is the case, you can buy a variety of "starter packs" from pretty much any music store. My first was a Fender acoustic beginner package for about $100 bucks and i loved that guitar. If you don't have a budget, get a Taylor, theres nothing like it. anyways if you're past the acoustic phase here is a list of guitars George Harrison used with the Beatles:
Gretsch Duo Jet
Gretsch Country Gentleman
Gretsch Tennessean
Rickenbacker 360/12(GEorge used 2 different ones)
Rickenbacker 325
Gibson SG(later given to Pete Hamm of Badfinger)
Gibson Jumbo 360 acoustic/electric guitar
Epiphone Casino
Gibson Les Paul(a red one called Lucy)
Gibson ES-345(used during the We Can Work It Out/Day Tripper promo films,as well as the last UK tour)
Fender Stratocaster
Fender Telecaster
Good luck! good to hear someone still has a passion for music and not just for games and Facebook!

My 8 yr old son wants to learn the guitar, what would be a good starter kit?
micknmim
I have seen the electric kits with a mini amp, or would an acoustic be better for a beginner? Also any good beginner books, websites etc.
Things to consider:
I do not want to pay too much for his first as he may lose interest.
I am in the UK.
Answer
I would say it doesn't matter much which one you get him, if he decides to run with it he will. Some advice I can give you though is that the electric guitars are going to be easier on his fingers. If you are thinking of going the acoustic route thats good too. He will be able to make music faster with an acoustic, at least that is what i found in my experience of learning. I started with an acoustic and eventually got an electric but i primarily play acoustic because it is much more fun to play alone (without any other instruments) As far as learning goes, it depends on the type of music he is into. The dummies books are very good. Everything you could ever want to learn is on the internet though. Youtube is probably the most fun and easy way to learn stuff because there are a lot of people that give lessons to songs on there. Some are not accurate however. But for the most part he will learn a lot on there. Good luck and tell him that after he gets the basics it will be the most rewarding thing he will ever learn. long live music, rock on.
