Guitars: Which guitar is best to learn on?
Do you want to learn to play the guitar but are unsure of the most appropriate guitar to learn to play on? Well you've come to right place!
The best kind of guitar to begin on would be an acoustic guitar. This is because unlike electric guitars there are no extra requirements like leads, amps that you need to buy. Therefore an acoustic guitar is the cheapest option.
Further to this, by learning to play on an acoustic guitar, if you do decide to invest in an electric guitar you will find it relatively simple to pick up. The first few months of learning to play an acoustic guitar are the most difficult, getting to grips with the basic cords and if played often enough your acoustic guitar will leave you with sore fingers. But once over this initial period your learning will really excel!
The best way to choose your acoustic guitar is down to your own individual tastes. Think about the kind of music you like and what sound you want your guitar to make. Check out a video of your favourite kind of music- see what guitar they are using to play then go down to your local guitar shop and test out a range of acoustic guitars before making your final decision. Ultimately make sure you choose the guitar that you are going to want to pick up again and again and one that you enjoy hearing the sound of.
