Chances are that if you have asked someone if you can
use their guitar for a while, it would probably be an old classical
acoustic guitar or maybe a steel string acoustic.
These
guitars are excellent to learn on because electric guitars require
things like leads, amps, speakers and power. With acoustic guitars you
only need a pick.
The other great thing about
acoustic guitars is that you can’t turn them up loud. When you are
learning it is probably better to play on a guitar that isn’t going too
be loud, only loud enough so your ears can hear your errors and your
good performances.
If you don’t know which types of guitar you want to play on, ask yourself, ‘what kind of music do I want to play?’
Pick
a song that you like for its guitar sound. Listen to the guitar sounds
and only the guitar sounds. Are they clean, soft sounds? Or are they
harsh, heavy or distorted? Generally, acoustic guitars are softer and
cleaner. Distorted, heavy sounds come from electric guitars that are
plugged into amplifiers and effects units. Can you hear individual notes
being picked or are the strings being strummed hard? The harder you
play, the thicker your strings need to be. You need to know what style
you want to play.
OK you have found a style of
music that you like. Try and find out what the band video for that song
is and watch it. There will probably be a section in there where the
band is playing. In this part, look at the guitarist. Is he/she playing
on an electric guitar or an acoustic guitar? What brand is it? What
style? If you know the exact guitar from the video, you can ask to play
on it at your local guitar shop to see if it suits you.
People
play guitar for many different reasons. You need to understand what it
is that you want to get out of the guitar. To discover your tastes in
guitar music, listening to different styles and genres. Ask musicians at
music shops about what kind of guitars different bands use, or ask them
what kind of amps/effects those artists use to get that sound.
The
answers don’t have to be exact because they will get you thinking about
what you need to buy to achieve the sound you are after.
So for my personal advice Go for Yamaha's beginner guitars. Just visit your nearest guitar shop and ask them one. They are the best one to learn upon. best of luck..... pEacE |
