What is a good acoustic guitar for beginners? I'm 19 years old and have wanted to learn how to play the acoustic guitar for years, so what is good for a beginner? Also, do you know of any good books, or dvds that can teach you to play because I cannot afford lessons. One more thing, I don't have a lot of money to spend on the guitar, but I don't wanna a crappy one either. I have about $130 to spend on the guitar.
Answer
With that much money, there's not gonna be much available to you. I think the best choice is to get a starter pack. Test play them if you can (just make sure it's not terrible... broken, or what have you). You don't need to know how to play to test, just make sure it's what you think a guitar should be,
Usually starter packs will come with some sort of instruction. I know the Ibanez ones do.
As for instruction, you can find great free instruction on the web. There is a guy named Justin Sandercoe on Youtube who has all sorts of video lessons for free, starting with beginners and moving up to advanced.
Good luck!

Answer
Hey :D
I am currently in almost the exact same position as you, except that I've already bought my guitar. I got an electric and ignored everyone's advice about buying an acoustic first. I really love it. =]
I got a cheap guitar, that came with an amp and all that, and it even came with a dvd, with some instruction, but I basically only use it for the chords =P
I would suggest with starting by learning how to read tabs and the names of the strings.
Names of the strings:
From left to right, its
Low E
A
D
G
B
High E
But you might also hear people refer to them as
6
5
4
3
2
1
In that same order. The thickest one is Low E and/or 6 and the thinnest is High E and/or 1
What I mean by left to right is that if you lift your guitar up vertically, then that's the order you'll see.
Next, learn how to read tabs.
I'd reccomend to ge there --v

Now, once you got that down, try some easy songs. An extremly easy song, which I learned in minutes, was Smoke On The Water. (Another, semi, easy one is Sweet Home Alabama bgy Lynard Skynard)

(Not the video I learned it from but I can't find the one I learned it off of =P)
You can also try looking up some of your favourite songs (I, personally, am currently learning Enterlude by The Killers, ExitLude by The Killers, and A Certain Romance by The Arctic Monkeys.)
Just go to Ulitimate-Guitar.com and search for the tablature that you want. =]
I hope I helped you some =P
Ta ta for now xD
