Choosing The Right Guitar For Your vGuitarLessons

Are you not sure what type of guitar is best for you?

Well, you'll have to ask yourself a couple questions:

What Type Of Music Am I Going To Play?

Whether you're playing Rock, Country, Classical or Jazz....

Here's what you'll need to know..

It's very important that you pick a guitar that is going to work for the type of music you want to play.

Here we will take a look at most of the genre's of music and lay out for you some recommended guitars for what you want to achieve in your guitar playing....

I would stick to the major brands when purchasing a guitar. The reputation of the brand is very important for quality and resale value. These major brands also have guitars that can be manufactured outside of the US for a much cheaper price that don't compromise quality.

THE GUITARS RECOMMENDED BELOW ARE THE CHEAPEST IN COST OF THE MAJOR MODELS AND ARE NOT MADE IN THE USA. GREAT FOR STARTING OUT

Rock If you're interest is in rock and roll, then you're going to want an electric guitar. Pay mind though; you will also have to purchase an amplifier and distortion pedal (I'll go into those in another post)

Here are the Guitars I recommend for Rock.

• Fender Stratocaster
• Gibson Les Paul
• or if you're playing METAL... Ibanez or Hamer

Country If your interest is Country, then you're going to want either an acoustic or electric. I would recommend...

• A Fender Telecaster for an electric
• A Martin for an acoustic.

Classical this is a very different type of guitar. This guitar is mostly picked with your individual fingers and contains nylon strings.

I would recommend

• A Yamaha
• Or Lucero for starting out.

Good classical guitars can be quite expensive for higher quality.

Jazz This is primarily played on an electric guitar. I'd recommend

• A Fender Jazzmaster with its smooth hollow tones
• Or a Gibson Les Paul

The Les Paul has a very rich classy smooth sound.

Am I The Type Who Gets Bored Or Frustrated Easily?...

You'll want to decide which type of guitar will be best for you to learn on...

If you're the type who wants results right away and doesn't want to have to go through the pain and frustration..... I would recommend an electric.

It is much easier to press on the strings and the strings are lighter to play.

However, an acoustic you can play anywhere and it will strengthen your hands so that when you do play an electric, it will seem like you've gone from swinging two bats to one! (A little baseball analogy for you)
