me
i want to get an acoustic guitar to so i can learn how to play. alot of people have been telling me that i should start off with a really cheap guitar and then once i get better and actually want to keep playing invest in a better guitar. any advice? anyone have any ideas of brands/types of guitars i should look into?
Answer
The acoustic guitars (either nylon strings or steel strings) are the recommended instrument for beginner guitar players to learn how to play.
The electric guitar is most often use to play chords exclusively and first-time players that start with an electric guitar seldom progress into learning the guitar musical staff or develope skills to play the melody line.
Most all good electric guitar players can do well when playing an acoustic guitar because they started to learn with that instrument.
As to price-be aware that regardless of labels most guitars in the "cheap" price range of Under
$200. are made overseas.
I learned from my son who travels often to China for his company manufacturing business that "brands" mean very little in the lower price range since the
same machinery made exactly the same instrument
with the only difference being the "label".
With that in mind your choice could be determined by the seller return warranty if you buy via internet and the "sound" of the guitars you have a chance to play at the local store. "Playability" and "sound" should be your criteria.Choose Sound over Looks
I have bought guitars via internet with good
results and excellent service.
In the "cheap" price range of Under $200.
I could recommend two web stores:
Rondo Music (www.rondomusic.com) and
West Music Co. (www.westmusic.com)
What Type: As a beginner I recommend a nylon string guitar (also called "classical guitar").
You can play any kind of music other guitars play.
Only difference is the sound is "mellower" than a steel-string instrument and less volume than an electric one.

Learning Acoustic Guitar.?
hEY
I wanna learn to play acoustic guitar. (:
Should I get a teacher/instructor, and what kind of acoustic should I buy?
I have no musical experience whatsoever and know nothing about acoustic guitars and stuff. D:
If I learned acoustic, would it be easier learning other instruments like piano?
Don't say start off with piano or any other instrument, because piano doesn't interest me as much, and I'd rather like to learn acoustic. :3

Nice one! Playing acoustic guitar is great. I would suggest getting a teacher even if it's online. My friend Antonio has a great Free Quick Start Guide for beginners along with 14 video lessons which you can get over here.

Here's a cool chord guide as well. http://rhythmguitarzero2hero.com/learn-guitar-chords
Learning to play acoustic will definitely help you to play other instruments because you'll be learning about, Rhythm, Harmony and Melody which forms the basis of all music. So if you have an understanding of these concepts it will surely help you when playing piano etc. Techniques will be different but the fundamentals are the same.
Playing acoustic is really great and I filmed a bunch of answers to common questions as well which you can have a look at here. http://rhythmguitarzero2hero.com/resources/frequently-asked-questions/
Feel free to get in touch if you have any more questions.
Cheers and Good Luck!
