HOW TO BUY A GOOD GUITAR
There is a lot to consider when buying a good guitar.
Here are the important issues:
What kind of music do You want to play?
- It is hard to play rock and roll on a classical guitar.
- If you just want to strum a few chords and accompany yourself while you sing at home, get an acoustic guitar.
- If you want to play guitar in church, get an acoustic electric guitar.
- If you want to play in a rock band get an electric guitar.
- In general the electric is easier to play and the most versatile. But you will also need an amplifier.
What is your budget?
- The biggest mistake beginners make is to get a cheap guitar. They think that IF they get good THEN they will get a good guitar.
- The cheap guitar is hard on the fingers. It does not want to stay in tune. It sounds bad and is not any fun to play.
- Pretty soon the student gets discouraged and quits.
- A good guitar is easy to play, stays in tune, and is a TOTAL joy.
- Plan on spending AT LEAST $300 for a decent guitar. If you try to get one cheaper you will only end up going back and getting another guitar later.
