electric or acoustic guitar?

Q. i like them both but which one should i use fist as a beginner all i know is the e chord


Answer
Acoustic offers good sound, low budget since you dont need guitar chords and amps. Also if you start out on acoustic, when you pick up an electric later on down the road it will be a LOT easier to play, giving you a boost to confidence.
On the other hand. Electric is easier to play starting out. But has added expenses as in Amp's and guitar chords.
If your going to start out learning rock and roll, just go electric because you just cant make master of puppets sound right on a acoustic.
Likewise, if you are going to play hank williams, then get an acoustic. Ol' Hank aint gonna sound right cranked up to 11 with full crunch going on.
Other things to consider? The reason you are beginning guitar. If youre getting into guitar to get a girlfriend. Get electric, Ever see how women dress at rock concerts? Because its easier to get their panties off and throw em at the guitarist!

All kidding aside. Get what you can afford vs. what type of music you are interested in learning.

What type of Acoustic guitar to play for beginner?




Z


I am going to start going to a guitar class every Saturday. I was wondering what type of Acoustic guitar would be good for a beginner? I am planning to play in a talent show when time comes, and I want to possibly be decent at that time. So, which kind will be good for a beginner like me?


Answer
Firstly, whatever type of guitar you get do not get a "cheap" guitar. A cheap guitar will be impossible to tune, impossible to play and will sound terrible. All it will do is put ypu off learning.

You need to decide whether you want nylon or steel strings. If you have no preference I would go for a steel string guitar. You do not need an expensive guitar made from solid timbers and with lots of decoration but you need a reasonable instrument suitable for a beginner. Buy from a music store, not on-line and not from a department store. Do not buy anything in a sealed box. You need to try the actual guitar you are going to buy, not just one like it. If possible take someone with you who plays, to advise you, or at least get the salesman/woman to play it for you. Get a spare set of strings and a tuner at the same time (you might get a better deal) and a strap and picks if you want them. Get them to show you how to use the tuner. There are lots of reasonable guitar brands for beginners but you might want to look at Yamaha, Jasmine or Epiphone. Good luck and have fun.
