Acoustic Beginner Guitars

Choosing acoustic beginner guitars is a major task for people new to guitar playing. One of the common issues novice acoustic guitar players have is the question of whether what they see as lack of progress is a natural part of learning to play the guitar, a fault with the way they play or there is something wrong with their new guitar. So let’s have a look at some matters you need to consider as a beginner guitar buyer.

When you go looking for your first acoustic guitar let the brands you see be a rough guide only. Go to as many music stores as possible and try out as many guitars as possible. If you are a total raw beginner, take a guitar playing friend with you and get them to play the guitars and pass on their opinion to you.

Although you should buy the best guitar your budget can stretch to, it is a good idea not to spend too much money on your very first acoustic beginner guitar. At least, not until you have had about six months of practice. Once you have had some experience of what it’s like to learn to change chords, and have seen whether or not you can apply yourself to a daily practice routine, then you can think about spending money on a better quality acoustic guitar.

There is a school of thought amongst acoustic guitar players that because nylon strings are kinder to your hands when you first start playing, it is better to buy a nylon string guitar first and switch to a steel string, if that is what you prefer, after your finger tips have grown callouses. It is true that steel strings can slice your fingers and it takes some time away from the guitar to let them heal, but at the same time, if you are faced with the choice between a decent steel string guitar and an unplayable piece of crap with nylon strings, then take the steel string, and just be careful not to drag your left hand fingers along the strings.

Without going into too much detail about the pros and cons of various brands and model, here’s a few decent guitars that you could look out for at your local music store or on ebay: Takamine, Epiphone, Alvarez, Yamaha, Ibanez. These are all good quality guitars that will last you through your initial stage as a beginner guitar player plus a few years neglected under the bed. Even though you can buy good guitars online, they could suffer from being shipped from one country to another, plus buying from a store or through local classifieds means you can see what you are buying.
