How To Buy The Right Guitar For You
By Larry
If you are reading this article, chances are you are interested in learning to play the guitar. well, the most important thing that you need in learning to play guitar is the guitar itself, of course.
The first thing you should decide on is what guitar you want to learn to play on is ultimately the kind of guitar you will want to buy.
Their are two major types of guitars, they are the electric guitar and the acoustic guitar. There are pro's and con's to both types of guitars.
An acoustic guitar ( or box guitar) is harder to learn on, but the only extra thing you need to get in order to play is a pick.
An electric guitar (or rock-n-roll guitar) is much easier to learn on and you will see significant improvement in a very short amount of time. But there are a few extra things that you on order to play, and that will more than likely be more expensive than an acoustic guitar. The first thing you need is an amp (or amplifier), if you play an electric guitar without an amp, you won't be able to hear the guitar very well. Prices of amps have a very wide range of prices. From a small, cheap amp at around $50 or so to a large expensive amp at well over $2,000. There will be allot of knobs on the amp, which the knobs are used to manipulate the sound of the guitar through
the amp. The knobs can give you a nice clean sound to a dirty rock-n-roll sound. whatever you want your guitar to sound like, chances are, you will be able to duplicate it on your amp, with a little practice and experimentation, of course.
Then you will need a guitar cable. A guitar cable is a wire that runs from the guitar to your amp. Lastly, you will need a guitar pick.
How do I find the right guitar for me? First, I would ask around school or work and find someone who can play guitar well and be-friend him then ask him if he would go with you to music stores and pawn shops to find the best guitar for you.
while hanging out with your new friend, ask him if the two of you could hang out together and jam. Maybe give you some pointers and show you some tricks, too. If the two of you are hitting it off pretty well, you've already got one thing in common, I don't see any reason for him to say no. Chances are, he was looking for someone who shares the same interests and enthusiasm that he does, all along.
Well that's it. I hope you found this article both informative and entertaining. May GOD bless you always, and always.
