What Is The Best Guitar To Learn On?

By Kim Clarebrooke

For those of you that are wanting to get into the hobby of playing guitar, you will first need to get your hands on one. Making the choice from starting off with either an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar can be a pain in the neck, so hopefully I can make that decision a little bit easier for you.

Try to ask yourself what fits your taste for music. Are you more on the heavy metal side or just plainly characterized by the Spanish feel? Choosing depends on the type of music you listen to or appreciate.

Every beginner has some confusion in selecting the best guitar they could get. The complexity in buying a guitar is as hard as choosing who is prettier, Angelina Jolie or Jessica Alba? To get over with the hassle, below are some tips on picking the best type of guitar that would fit your desire for melody and tune.

I already mentioned the importance of playing what you like to listen to. This will narrow the 2 choices between electric and acoustic down to one, then you will just have to pick a certain brand and model, which is the hard part.

The most important part of choosing a guitar for the beginner is the budget. How much are you willing to invest in this hobby? For starters, just make sure that your guitar stays in tune, that will work fine for the beginning guitar player.

If you are choosing to get an electric guitar, you will have to spend more money as you will need to buy an amp and a guitar chord also. For this reason you may have to save money for awhile, or ask the seller if they have any type of payment plans that you could make to purchase the guitar of your choice.

Next thing to look at and consider is the types of features that the guitar has. Will you need a whammy bar, or if you are getting an acoustic guitar, do you want one that has a built in electric chord for it?

With all of the choices of different types of guitars out there, you will often second guess your choice after you buy your first. Just remember, you can always get another guitar, it does not hurt to have an acoustic and electric guitar in your music room.

Still stumped? Ask around, friends you might have that play guitar. There are also many online communities where you can ask members what guitar they started off with, and whether or not they recommend it.
