Q. So I want to buy an acoustic guitar. What things should I buy along with the guitar? (I'm a beginner)

Answer
You'll need a guitar, of course. Also, good additions are a strap, a case, and an electric tuner. Also, you might need some books or sheet music. If you don't want to buy these, you can find lots of free tabs online.
Good luck!

I want to play the acoustic guitar, where do I start?

Devon

I have always wanted to play acoustic guitar,but I have no idea where to begin. I am 12 in 7th grade if that help. I need advice on what guitar to get, what websites to go to so I can teach myself to play (I can't afford to take lessons). Also, some easy beginner country songs to play when I start out. Thanks in advanced :)

Answer
I, myself has been playing for almost a year, and I've learned allot. You should start with strumming, then broken chords, then power chords, then learn how to read tabs.

ADVICE: If you wanna become good in the guitar, you should practice, EVERYDAY. That's what I did. And I learned how to play in 2 months and a half! :)

For guitar lessons, try searching on YouTube on the things I said. Or better, hire a tutor.
Suggestion for the guitar: ANY acoustic might work. Try Seagull S6. This is really for beginners. Or a Yamaha.

Well I don't know any country songs, just search YouTube! :)

What would be a good acoustic guitar to buy for...?

best acoustic guitar buy image

I've played electric guitar for almost a year now, and I want to try out an acoustic guitar, I don't want a starter pack thing, most of the guitars I've seen come from those are pretty crappy, all of the electric guitars that is...

So what's a decent low-budget acoustic guitar to buy?

Answer
The best acoustic guitar for the money, ( in my professional opinion) is a Samick. The Greg Bennett series are great. They are comparable to many guitars costing 2 to 3 as much. The average price of an acoustic-electric is $350 to $400. They set up good right out of the box, or "off the music store wall" as it were. I own 2 of them and recommend them to my students who play acoustic.

How much does the store Best Buy charge to tune an acoustic guitar?

Christina

I bought an acoustic guitar from Best Buy yesterday but I need it to be tuned, so it sounds normal when I play it. Does anybody know how much they charge to tune it? Thanks.

Best answer gets 10 points.

Answer
If you have a guitar you also need to have a tuner. You will need to tune the guitar almost every time you play, especially considering it is an entry level guitar, which won't stay in tune as well as a high end guitar. Obviously you don't want to take it to a music store every day to have it tuned so learn to do it yourself. I mean you have to learn, it really isn't an option. I would get a clip on like the one below. It is very easy to tune a guitar. Going from the fattest string to the thinnest, tune the strings as follows. EADGBE, the fattest and skinniest strings are both tuned to E. There really is nothing to it. If you went in a music store and purchased one of these tuners someone there would be happy to show you how to use it. It would take all of 5 minutes.
