How to Choose the Right Guitar for You
Playing an acoustic guitar or an electric guitar can be a lot of fun. Guitars are portable, easy to learn and a great way to learn about music. Who hasn’t used a hairbrush or broom as a substitute for a real instrument? Have you ever played air guitar, well why not take the next step and get an actual instrument. There are several styles and sizes of guitars to choose from and you can teach yourself to play or take lessons.
If you can, have someone play the guitar you are interested in before you buy it to check the tone and sound quality. Hold it in your hands and make sure the neck is comfortable and it is the right size for your build. You want an instrument that is comfortable and sounds good so that you do not get discouraged and end up leaving your guitar sitting in a closet gathering dust.
Choosing the right guitar when you are first starting out can seem like a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. If you are a brand new guitar player, you may want to start out with an acoustic guitar. Acoustic guitars are less expensive and take no equipment unlike an electric guitar that you need an amp to play. A good acoustic instrument need not be expensive. You can find good quality starter instruments that sound good and are made well.
Choosing the Correct Type of Acoustic Instrument
There are different types to choose from; classic, flamenco and 12 string models. For beginners, the classic style is the best. You can find different sizes of guitars to fit you build and hands. There are even juvenile sizes that are made for children and people with smaller builds. Choose an instrument that is made of solid wood, not plywood. Solid wood is sturdy and will not warp as easily as plywood can. Natural gut strings give the best sound, but they need tuned more often than nylon or metal strings and are more suited to professional players or someone who is proficient at tuning a guitar.
Acoustic instruments are held together by glue so never leave it in your vehicle or exposed to extreme temperatures or moisture. Use cleaners made specifically for your instrument. One easy way to keep it clean is to wipe it down with a soft cotton cloth after you finish playing it. This will remove oils and dirt from your hands and keep your instrument looking new and sounding its best.
Choosing an Electric guitar
Electric guitars are the iconic image of a rock star. While you might not have dreams of fame and fortune, electric guitars can be a lot of fun to play. You can get sounds and effects from an electric model that you can’t get with an acoustic one. Before you make you selection of instruments, consider your level of expertise and commitment. If you are a beginner, don’t invest hundreds of dollars into you new endeavor. You can find good quality beginner instruments and the necessary accessories on a budget.
Also, wait until you are a good player to buy that fancy tricked out model you may be eyeing. Looks are important, but sound quality and easy of use should be your main concern when buying your first electric guitar. Try to get a demonstration of the guitar you are interested in and consult with someone who plays to find out the best options for amps, stands and other accessories. This type of guitar is constructed differently than its acoustic cousin and is usually sturdier, but you will still want to keep it from extreme temperatures and moisture. Wipe it off with a soft cotton cloth after you are done to keep it looking and sounding its best.
Basic Considerations for Both Types of Instruments
Your budget may be your single most deciding factor. As mentioned before you can find good quality guitars at reasonable prices. Save the expensive name brand models for when you are a proficient player and have decided to make a long term commitment to the art. It is advisable to buy a case for your guitar to protect it when you are not using it or when you travel. Keep an extra set of strings on hand. Strings break at the worst times and if you have an extra set you can easily change one out and go back to enjoying your guitar. Also keep a supply of picks. Both types of guitars are easier to play with picks and you will get the best sound quality with a pick as opposed to using your fingertips. You may want to invest in a DVD instruction set if you can not find an instructor to show you the basics and develop your technique.
Conclusion
Music can be a fun hobby and playing the guitar is one of the most enjoyable ways to experience music. Choosing the right acoustic guitar or electric guitar is a matter of size, budget and preference. With the right choice you can be on your way to enjoying a new found appreciation for music and developing your guitar playing skills.
