Acoustic Guitar Tone Factors, What tones and what part?

2013-06-09T04:17:00.001+07:00

What are the tone factors affected by which acoustic guitar parts?

The Guitar Neck

The most common woods used for neck construction are mahogany and, more recently, Spanish cedar. The neck's properties have an impact on tone because when you play, as much energy as possible needs to travel to the bridge to get those soundboard vibrations cooking. A very thin neck may be easier to play but your notes won't last or sustain as strongly compared to a thicker neck. It's about compromising. Gain one and lost another.

The Guitar Soundboard

The soundboard is equipvalent to speaker cone on a speaker. The soundboard responds to the vibration of the strings and air movement. In general, thinner the wood, the more responsive the soundboard is with these vibrations. But it needs to be thick enough to be strong and solid.

The Bridge Saddle

Like the guitar nut,bridge saddles tend to be made from plastic, bone or synthetic ivory and have an impact on the string vibration and therefore sound of the guitar. Bone and synthetic bone are good for transferring the sound of your strings. Cheap plastics won't contribute much at all in comparison. On the whole, synthetic bone helps the tone sound a little brighter than the warmer bone. It's also more resilient so will need replacing less frequently.

The Guitar Fingerboard

Yes fingerboard can affect the sound too. The radius of a typical acoustic guitar fingerboard usually measures between 18", significantly flatter than most electrics guitar. Most acoustic guitar fingerboards are made from rosewood, ebony or amble on top range guitars: ebony is denser and tends to sound brighter, which is good.

Guitar Made from Spruce?

Spruce is ideal for tops because it has a good mix of strength, clarity and dynamics, and it looks good. There are a few different types. Sitka spruce is the most common, found in the US and Canada. The lighter Engelmann spruce is found in the same part of the world and is seen as an upgrade from Sitka. German spruce is often used for classical guitars and is similar to Engelmann, while Adirondack is the most expensive, it responds well to hard playing while delivering balanced dynamics.

Unplugged Rock: Down In The Hole by Alice In Chain

2013-06-09T03:57:00.001+07:00

If you're looking for an easy song with very cool acoustic guitar chords and easy to sing along (just don't sing this song in front of your parents and public places), here is the song you might want to try to master. Down In The Hole, both lyrics and music can really take where you've never been before. And it is definitely one of my favorite songs by Alice In Chain, the long forgotten band by the main media.

Some gigs are as much about the circumstances surrounding them as the performance itself. Nirvana's Unplugged may have succeeded in the face of adversity, but Alice In Chains' MTV performance on10 April1996 in Brooklyn was even closer to never happening.

The band were well on the way to falling apart: after two years off the road, it was their only performance as a five-piece with second guitarist Scott Olson, but also one of the final appearances with a frail Layne Staley. After this show, his ongoing heroin addiction would lead him to live as a recluse in Seattle during the six years before his death.

On the night, main songwriter, co-vocalist and guitarist Jerry Cantrell had his own problems: a bout of food sickness (from a dodgy hot dog) meant he was sick immediately before and after the set.

Nevertheless, Cantrell and his Guild helped the band turn in one of the most starkly powerful demonstrations of their gifts in one of the all-time great MTV Unplugged performances.

The Seattlites were no strangers to the approach -1992's Sop and 1994's Jar Of Flies EPs both demonstrated a whole other side to their twisted riff age. That evening also showcased the power wielded by the vocal harmonies of Cantrell and Staley, even when the metal side of the band was
stripped right away.

Of all the fan faves the band played that night, their darkest song of all, Down In A Hole, is rendered the most haunting by this treatment. Without the layers of distortion found on the original version on 1992's Dirt, the picked verses and starkly confessional lyrics about the descent into addiction bring a new level of intensity, beauty and human fragility to their melancholy.

Unplugged Rock: Stairway To Heaven by Led Zeppelin

2013-06-09T03:51:00.002+07:00

Talking about a classic rocking acoustic and electric guitar song that became cliche and awkward to play in a guitar shop, you know what song I'm talking about...

Mexican nylon-string virtuosos Rodrigo Y Gabriela make no secret of their rock roots. The duo first met when playing together in a Mexico City metal band, have name-checked the likes of Metallica and Slayer as influences, and while they usually record and perform their own material, they're partial to the occasional rock cover.

For their excellent self-titled 2006 album, they took on the most imposing totem of the classic-rock era and managed to pull it off with an aplomb that's nothing short of astonishing.

Rodrigo Sanchez picks the opening verses, embellishing them with a series of arpeggios, jazzy flourishes and phrases that meander around the melody but always return to the central guitar line. Gabriela Quintero remains

in the background, playing the chord accompaniment, and between them the pair start to weave their spell, gradually building the song to its familiar climax.

And while you might not think a pair of acoustic guitars could in any way replicate the bone-rattling power of Jimmy Page in full flight, the pair rise to the occasion superbly: Rodrigo sweep-picks around the vocal melody in double-quick time, while his partner hammers out the riff as furiously as is possible on an acoustic. The result is a cover that manages to retain both the delicacy and power of the original.

Perhaps more than any other standard in the classic-rock repertoire, Stairway carries a huge weight of expectation and is a very easy song to get wrong - but here the Mexican duo got it supremely right.

Unplugged Rock: Hotel California on Nylon String Guitar

2013-06-09T03:47:00.001+07:00

A classic good old song with lots of guitar parts to learn from by Eagles.

When the classic Eagles line- up ended 14 years of acrimony and muck-slinging to play two MTV reunion shows in April 1994, there were nerves behind the scenes. "We were rusty," recalls guitarist Joe Walsh of the rehearsals, in one fly-on- the-wall video interview. "We were eager to get our chops back, and to show that we weren't has-beens..."

The US rock behemoths were also ready to put their balls on the line. When the two performances were released as a live album, Hell Freezes Over, that November,the high water mark and bravest moment was the reworked acoustic version of Hotel California.

The band's ode to LA crash-and-burn had eaten the singles charts back in 1977, with the original studio cut nailed on a Fender Tele (Walsh) and Gibson Les Paul (Don Felder). Here, it found both guitarists perching on boyband stools and proceeding to sprinkle a palpable flamenco flavour over the arrangement using nylon-string classical models (with Felder's virtuoso flamenco finger style intro setting the tone).

With Glenn Frey adding chiming 12-string fills (and with the lavish Hell Freezes Over concerts recorded on 48 tracks simultaneously), this seven-minute- plus version of Hotel California is shimmer in excels is, even managing to outdo the jangle of the original. As ever, the chorus lands like a right hook, but for guitar fans, the real magic arrives in the closing minutes, as Walsh and Felder, always a fiercely competitive axe pairing square up once more in an unplugged rematch of their famous1977 duel. The Eagles had landed. Again.

Bone guitar nuts is it better?

2013-03-02T05:45:00.000+07:00

You heard a nut and bridge saddle made from bone is best.?

Bone and synthetic bone (Graph Tech's Tusq is an example of a man-made bone-replica) are good for transferring the sound of your strings. Cheap plastics won't contribute much at all in comparison. On the whole, synthetic bone helps the tone sound a little brighter than the warmer bone.

It's also more resilient so will need replacing less frequently.

Some acoustic guitar have the neck joining the body at a different fret—either the 12th or the 14th. Does it really matter?

Yes, it does. Most acoustics you'll come across will be the 14-fret join variety and 12-fret acoustics tend to be smaller-bodied guitars.

The difference is about more than just how far down the dusty end of the neck you want to play The point where the neck heel is joined to the guitar's body differs between them, and as a result this affects how rigid the neck is as well the position of the bridge on the soundboard. These are two factors, among all the others, that affect the tone you can from an acoustic.

Which leads us to a final point we can't stress enough: with all these variables you need to get your paws on as many acoustics as possible and get a feel for them.

Take a guitar-playing friend to the music shop with you and play the guitars together for a live appreciation of their differences. Sooner or later, you'll find your steel-strungsoulmate

What shape acoustic guitar is best?

2013-03-02T05:43:00.000+07:00

What shape guitar is best for you? Personal preference and comfort are two crucial factors that make trying before you buy essential. But the characteristics related to certain acoustic shapes do make them better for some players than others. A dreadnought is a good all-rounder; it's the classic acoustic shape that's suitable for flat-picking or strumming.

Ditto the grand auditorium, with its wider lower body bout a Martin signature model of this shape was famously used on Eric Clapton's Unplugged performance and many other brands' examples sport a cutaway.

One important thing to notice is that, the bigger-bodied super jumbo is better for strummers who want a big, booming rhythm sound, whereas the smaller-bodied parlor shape has been favored by traditional blues and folk players who want midrange punch for fingerpicking styles.

Is it worth paying the extra for a guitar with a solid back and sides? Usually, but it doesn't cost a lot extra. Guitars with solid backs and sides take some time to mature but often end up having a warmer, more resonant sound than the laminated variety.

One of the greatest things about an acoustic guitar is that you don't need speaker to make it sounds good and loud (if you have a very good sounding acoustic guitar, of course). Just strum it once and stop and listen to the fatness and the sustain of acoustic sound, it should last nicely with nice reverb without making very thin sound. If you have no idea how, go try the most expensive acoustic guitars you can find locally and get used to its sound. Try to remember them both the sound and the feeling.

Good news is, nowadays, you don't need to robe a bank to have a good sounding acoustic guitar. Most of guitar manufacturers have learn from all these years how to make an acoustic guitar sound expensive with affordable prices, including the Chinese's.

Kurt All Apologies Song

2013-03-02T05:41:00.001+07:00

Nirvana's Unplugged In New York album is considered by many to be the pinnacle of MTV's Unplugged series, but Kurt's gear choice of an electric amp, chorus and distortion pedals almost saw him disqualified from our unplugged list. Unplugged In New York was recorded less than six months before Kurt Cobain's suicide and, in hindsight, the entire performance has an eerie quality to it.

The stage was dressed with lilies and black candles at Kurt's request to MTV's Alex Coletti to make it "like a funeral", with the band foregoing the obvious hits from Nevermind, and opting instead to playa sombre set comprising six covers and a collection of secondary singles from Bleach, Nevermind and In Utera.

Choosing a single track from the album was tricky our original instinct was to go with the haunting cover of Lead belly's Where Did You Sleep Last Night?, the closing song on the album, complete with funeral-march, macabre lyrics and Cobain's gut-wrenching vocals. However, because this is a list of electric-songs-gone-acoustic, we've chosen All Apologies. Cobain's outsider lyrics were often vague and open to interpretation (and much debate), but Ail Apologies features some of Kurt's more lucid moments, and seems every bit as guilt-laden on Unplugged as the original.

Originally the final song on In Utero, the song features what is perhaps Kurt's most intricate guitar line during the Unplugged performance.

The main riff is played by Kurt in the intro, then Pat Smear takes over for the verses, allowing Kurt to playa simplified rhythm part while he sings. During the outro, however, Kurt doubles with Pat Smear while singingthe line "All in all is all we are" as Lori Goldston's cello, the two guitars, bass and drums drop out gradually until all we're left with is Cobain and Grohl's harmonised vocals. Listened to in context with Cobain's untimely death, it's a hair-raising performance that becomes more powerful with every viewing. So powerful, it almost tops our countdown...

String Skipping Technique How to

2013-03-02T05:37:00.001+07:00

The technique we're after for today is developed as an alternative to sweep picking, to make arpeggios sound cleaner and rhythmically accurate. String skipping avoids the need to pick through the strings in one single motion (as you must when sweep picking), instead using conventional picking and often adding hammer-ons and pull-offs. This Guitar Workout helps you develop the skills you need to emulate the string-skipping techniques of players like Paul Gilbert, Marty Friedman and Greg Howe. Exercises string-skipping technique: playing two-note-per-string minor and diminished 7th arpeggios. Paul Gilbert often uses this technique to great effect. Exercise 3 focuses on 16th-note arpeggios and employs more position shifts. We've suggested a fretting pattern in the notation, but you should also experiment with other fingerings that may feel more comfortable for you. The final exercise utilises all six strings and is reminiscent of Steve Vai's famous solo from Crossroads. It's tricky to master because there's a lot of work in the fret hand, so don't be tempted to cut any corners - keep your sound relatively clean and don't rush. Play each exercise for three minutes and follow the suggested tempos for each exercise as a guide. Accuracy and control are your primary concerns with this workout.

6 Things to be aware before buying a used acoustic guitar

2012-09-29T06:25:00.001+07:00

When you decide to buy a used acoustic guitar, there are many factors you need to think about–sometimes you forget some but most of us would pretend to forget all of the good advice we have heard and read about and rush into buying the guitar once it's in front of us. That's very stupid, and I do that sometimes and regret it later.

These tips will help you to buy a guitar without wasting money on the wrong choice. No need to take something that is not suitable for you and a cast away from each other.

Don't rush buying a guitar amp. Especially, you have limited budget, you can't afford to buy the wrong one. So see it, touch it, try it and hear it before buy–always.
Look to see if there are any structural damage to it. Ask yourself is it that bad? Do you care?
Touch the guitar and shake gently to see if you can hear any sound crackling. If yes, then this is not the right guitar. When you try to tune the guitar, check whether the strings move freely or if tuners turn freely or not. All these points are very necessary before you pick up the guitar.
Acoustic Guitars sound perfect when it occurs, but you may find out later that it was a wrong choice. It’s also important to make sure to test all six strings and all keys before you decide to bring home the guitar. Acoustic guitars must have all keys and tuned strings and should not produce any buzzing sound.
Make sure that the size of the guitar is a standard and not something that will not be suitable for you. See if it is comfortable to hold and play. It may be surprising, but the acoustic guitar sounds different when you play different people. Check the straightness of the neck by rubbing on the sixth string.
Check all these things before you buy a used guitar. There is no warranty on these guitars, and you may end up losing all your money! Seagull S6 is the best acoustic guitar best ever made for beginners.

Here you go, next time go buy a secondhand guitar. Take this note with you as a checklist. It might just save you time and money.

What're the differences between an acoustic and electric guitar?

2012-09-27T15:13:00.001+07:00

Thanks for the simple fact electric and acoustic guitars are so familiar, it’s easy to overlook the wide range of variety of existing guitar. Not every single guitar will be the exact same, and tactics may vary, providing each participant guitar a chance to try a new and different place.

Those who have been the understanding of the best way to play the guitar, as well as people who have played for one, though, will certainly require to take the time to explore the many possibilities obtainable.

Forms Into Electrical Into Electric Guitars appear in solid, semi-hollow body and variety of cables method, and usually have 6 steel strings. You will find variations for electric guitar, though, which may or may not be familiar to all strings players.

Additional, in lots of quantity, change the appearance and style of play electric guitars. Seven-string and twelve-string Epiphone Left Handed Guitars are generally recognized changes in normal electric guitar.

You will also find eight string electric guitars, as well as variations in strings used. With method of example, the majority of electric guitars seven strings in possession of a minimal string B, but some players choose to create the use of a G octave pair with the common G, a modification that allows for many of the elements of twelve-string game ever built for a seven-string guitar.

Electric guitars Into appear even when the neck a lot. a change widespread neck is certainly a double neck, but some seem even with the neck three, four or five. Variety Into Acoustics Under the guidance of acoustic guitars, essentially one of the most common varieties are flat-top, arch-top and classical.

Fender Into Jimmy Page, accurate to its name, has a flat major and vice versa, with steel strings. The flat-top guitar will be the type most frequently seen in use by folk, country, blues and bluegrass musicians.The archtop has a great curve and has a flat back or curved. Usually, this steel-string functions like f-holes, like a violin.

The classical guitar is similar in looks to the flat-top, but it usually has a wider keyboard and is strung with nylon strings. Acoustic Guitars Into, however, cover a much wider range than just these three basic guitars. among other types of acoustic guitars are: Resonator guitars are comparable to flat-top guitars, with the exception of the metal resonator mounted, even if at best. In general, resonator have two holes, both seem very small circular holes or f-holes, although some resonator have three or four holes appear. The thought in the back of a resonator guitar is the simple fact that an aluminum cone resonator inside the method would increase the volume of the guitar.

Twelve-string guitars flat-top guitars with twelve strings, usually arranged as six pairs of strings like a mandolin or lute. The maximum torque of strings is tuned together, even if the two strings, even if in another 5 pairs are tuned in octaves. Into Russian guitars are acoustic guitars with seven strings instead of six. Epiphone Zakk Wylde common in the 19th and early 20th centuries, the guitars are usually tuned to an open key G. acoustic bass guitars have steel strings and are tuned so in particular the very exact as an electric bass guitar. It makes no difference how many guitars one participant noted, it certainly is extremely unlikely to have seen or played them all.

You will find very large set of variations of electric and acoustic guitars which could take weeks, to touch everyone, and for several years to master a few. The wide range, however, also allows one of the participants more veteran in any way be bored to make use of the instrument. About the Author

The best way to learn to sing and play guitar simultaneously

Voice is something that comes from the heart coronary artery. Needless to say, you have to do is to be able to sing well enough. However, this is certainly not just a matter of education. Take a few voice classes together to learn every one of the basic principles of methods to sing out and you will probably notice his voice rises dramatically.

Next, decide if you are not you are going to consider the vocals much more significant as it does not matter if this is certainly ample for execution only when playing guitar beginners.

Choose a track along with Learn to play the guitar
The conventional plan of action for many newcomers is always to try and enjoy guitar beginners and even cry at the same time directly from your get-go . This is certainly very, very not a good idea. What you want to do is learn to play the guitar starting. Only once you need to have done that, you understand how to perform the vocal parts. Next, stick collectively.

The first thing, therefore, would be to choose a song you need to learn that contains relatively effortless guitar chord progressions and changes of simple chords. No matter which track you ultimately choose. It really is not. There are hundreds of simple songs for guitar newbie. Just a little ‘of what you will be able to study the actual notes to be able to fairly quickly, as well as what just enjoy.

Moreover, and that does not have a super-hard component singing. Whatever you decide, it needs to be viable.

5 Things - Acoustic Guitar Tone Woods Sound

2012-09-10T23:05:00.000+07:00

THEY'RE THE CORE OF YOUR GUITAR SOUND.
lt's called "tonewood" for good reason. However much your pickups, amp, and effects influence your linal tone, the comerstone of a guitar's voice is the wood it is constructed with. You can hear the difference in the resonance and response of different tonewoods even when a guitar is played unplugged. If desirable sonic elements aren't happening in that acoustic sound. no amount of swapping and tweaking further down the signal chain will put them there when you go electric.

SWEET BODIES.
A guitar’s body typically produces the most noticeable contribution of tonewood characteristics.
The classic "Fender in the '5Os" woodswamp ash-is, according to builder Dennis Fano, “very alive sounding, and it has a brighter tone than mahogany or alder, yet with good warmth and depth.” Alder, although not dramatically different sounding, tends to have a strong, clear, full-bodied, and well-balanced tone with sweet highs. Mahogany-arguably the most popular non-Fender wood-is somewhat rounder, warmer, and softer than ash or alder. Add a dense maple top (as on a Les Paul Standard), and you enhance clarity.

NECK WOODS GET INTO THE GAME.
The way a guitar's neck vibrates also affects its tone. In the traditional Gibson configuration, a mahogany neck set into a mahogany body lends extra depth and richness for a thick, creamy tone. Use a maple neck instead-as Nik Huber does on his Krautster-and you hear more snap and definition. Marry an all-maple neck to the brighmess of ash or alder. and you give birth to archetypal country twang or West Coast jangle.

THE FRETBOARD MAKES A DIFFER-
ENCE, TOO.
“Adding a rosewood fretboard to an otherwise all-maple neck definitely rounds out the sound and warms it up to some degree,” says Chris Fleming, Fender Custom Shop Master Builder. 'A maple neck and an ash or alder body has a brightness or edge to it that a rosewood guitar doesn't." A rosewood fretboard on aguitar made largely of mahogany might not be as noticeable, but add a dense, ebony fretboard in its place, and you'll hear added clarity and high-end sizzle.

CONSTRUCTION MATTERS.
However much players rave about the importance of tonewoods. the way they are actually put together in this thing we call "a guitar' makes a huge difference. Moreover, various stocks of tl1e same wood can sound quite different. ‘So many other factors come into play to determine a guitar°s sound,” says Fleming. “For example-the density ofthe wood, the grain pattems in the wood, how old the wood is, and how dry it is.”

7 Strings Guitar for Beginners?

2012-08-05T21:31:00.002+07:00

For any beginners to advanced guitarists, 6 strings is already a big universe to explore and now 7 strings? Man that's like telling a fish how to walk. Yes, 7-string guitars have been the cool choice in the world of metal rappers for a decade but not many people know that 7 strings guitars have been around since..ever and in fact there were many more strings then just seven.

But why bother with more strings? Why not stick to what we know? Well, for me it's just for the sake of curiosity and musical knowledge expansion. A 7-string guitar enables you to have an extra low-end big ass sound of the low-B (depends on how you tune your guitar) while maintaining the upper bright sound range and proper tension from the strings which came from many years of hard work of generations of electric guitar development.

(on the left is the young Steve Vai with his Ibanez Universe 7-Strings who couldn't effort a shirt)

First time a 7 strings guitar was in my hand, i didn't know what to do with it but after a while i was quite fun to fool around with rhythm playing. Having survived the metal era with their doom factor still intact.

Seven and now eight string guitars are a popular way of adding extra range to your sound without having to retune or set up your guitar again which isn't the most interesting job to do.

Ibanez has lead the way with a large list of endorsees playing the extended range instruments especially electric guitars. If you're lately thinking about joining the dark side of hard rock metal stuff, get a seven string and you won't regret it.

It's no doubt that the most well known 7-strings electric guitar maker in the world is Ibanez. To my world, Ibanez made 7 strings famous with the help from Steve Vai's fame in the 80's. Ibanez is a japanese crafted guitar company which offer signature guitars to most of the modern guitarists in the world (I used to know a guy who lives next door to the Japan factory and could bought them so cheap, of course he is a japanese).

Most of the time though, to buy and Ibanez, cheap or expensive line you won't regret owning one. It's well known for the versatile and super easy to play and made for those crazy guitar technique geeks like me. However, if you like full-on blues music or other stuff it's different story. Fender and Gibson are sure great guitars but also the price.

Talking about the most affordable electric 7-strings I would recommend Ibanez RG7321. It gives the lowest price tag of the other three in the same line, but don’t be fooled. The RG732i packs a skinnierthan size zero 25.5-inch. 24 fret Wizard II neck, meaning you can reach full speeds that would usually cost you your license. Loaded with Ibanez AH7 ‘buckers, the RG732l actually has the most flexible pickup switching in the group.

For the record, some types of seven-string guitars are specific to certain cultures (i.e. Russian and Brazilian guitars). The standard 7-string guitar tuning is B E A D G B e. Just an extra low B. No big deal. But the just the bigger neck that might annoy you, you need to keep playing it until your brain learn to recognize the differences and get used to whenever you switch back and forth between 6 and 7 strings guitar. That's all for today. So, talking about 7 strings and all is this blog for beginners? Well, for a beginner any thing should be interesting. Go on to: www.ibanez.com

Buying your first guitar

2012-08-05T21:16:00.002+07:00

Acoustic guitar should be anyone's first guitar. Once you get a hang of it, you will be so comfortable playing your first electric guitar. But who knows, you might never switch to electric guitar at all. Anyway, let see how to buy guitar for beginners.

To me guitar brand is very important but don't let that fool you, you might fine a perfect guitar for you called "Metal Heads", who cares if it suits you.

Most beginners don't know what they want, or they might think they know but they don't that sort of thing. And to not know what you want is the worst situation in anything. So, the idea is to be cool about it, and calmly shop around first. It's easy today since you can go read as many online reviews as wish in a few hours which i recommend harmony-central.com web site, they have many great guitar reviews there. Look into it, you can't go wrong with most of their reviews.

Next, i would go to as many music shops as you can possibly go and try out as many guitars as possible without getting kicked out from the shop. So first, look around and imagine what you like to play. And then ask to get each guitar you really like to look at down and feel the neck and fretboard which is the most part your fingers is going to be all over. It should be smooth and comfortable. The size of guitar body should not be too big or too small, if you comfortable holding and playing it, that's half way there.

Sure you can piss away money by choosing the best guitar in the store (if you can afford it), but it's bad idea for any beginners. You won't appreciate the quality that all the pro guitars have to offer. You won't hear the sound quality, you won't notice the mid low or mid high sound and many other little things that beginners aren't suppose to feel and hear. So it's a total waste of money if you ask me. After all you are just beginning to drive, are you going to buy a ferrari?

Buying guitar for beginners is like practicing guitar, you need to start small and along the steps you will automatically find out what you lack and then you would have a clear goal where you want to be at the end of each stage. We human, won't appreciate stuff that is too good for us. So make sure you feel the need first then go find the guitar that can fill the hole.

Ok, so you're bored listen to me already. Here's a few good guitars that you could check them out: For the best and affordable acoustic guitar brand and models under $300: Taylor Baby, Takamine and Yamaha.

For beginner electric guitar under $300 US: Ibanez RG, G&L, Fender Stratocaster Mexico and Epiphone Les Paul. But for me i just love getting second hands guitars, it open up more choices for my first beginner's guitar like nothing else.

I hope this guitar for beginner's buyer guide helped you decide. Thanks for reading.

Do you remember your first guitar?

2012-08-05T21:15:00.000+07:00

Even though it's been about 20 years already since i picked up my first guitar and have never put it down ever since (don't mean that in the physical way) but i can still remember clearly what a piece of crap my first guitar truly was.

It was a badly made yellowish middle size folk shitty acoustic guitar with..somehow it had nylon strings. The guitar was bought from a local stationary store and it costs something like $15 USD brand new! Later, the owner, my generous friend gave it to me and also threw me a few basic chord lessons just to give me a boost and that started my life.

When i first saw my friend played the guitar with those chord changes and able to sing a at the same time that was like opening up my mind to another dimension. Because this friend wasn't suppose to be good in anything, but he could play guitar quite well. Changing chords and sing were the coolest things for me then. As life went on, surprisingly, i ended up playing guitar professionally while my friend doesn't even remember how to play those cool bare chords he used to show me anymore. That's life isn't it.

After that though, I've been a self taught in most of my skills, I'm a watch-and-learn person, pretty much. I always trust in my fingers more then the instrument. A good guitar player should be able to play any guitar and has a signature sound. Anyway, let's talk about your first guitar, if you haven't bought one yet.

So what's the ideal guitar for a beginner to buy? i would recommend anyone to get an acoustic guitar at first then move on to whatever you like. It doesn't have to be costly. And yes acoustic guitar, of course, is harder to play then electric, those hard tight strings tension will hurt your fingers like hell, no doubt about that, but it will only hurt about a month and it will be one of the best experience in your life, you won't regret. If you can play acoustic clearly every note, then you automatically will be able to any guitars with nice and clean chord and solo. And that's should be your priority goal when learning to master your songs.

Play clean & play clear! That's right, set your left hand's fingers on guitar fretboard about 90 degrees angle and make every note come out intentionally.

I would not recommend go around getting a $500 guitar if you haven't mastered a chord yet (but if you want to piss a way your money that's cool too). You never know, playing guitar for you might turn out to be a mission impossible for you and nobody can blame you, because we all know that we do things we can do best if this isn't for you then who cares. Find something else in life that you really like to do and master that.

Some people say getting an expensive guitar will force you to keep playing, well.. that might work too but not for me. And also, make sure find easy songs to learn at first. Songs that you love to sing in the shower (or not) and that will motivate you to play it good, and the song should NOT have more than 3-5 chords with easy keys position for guitar like C or D. Find that song and use it as a learning tool. If you can master one song from start to finish, then it's time to go to the next song.

Don't learn half way and give up. Learn to play it from start to finish, or finish to start that's true guitar player. So may kids these days don't know how to end a song. Just solo a few licks and put their guitar down, that's not the way to play at all. Good practice should have a clear goal even the goal is to make noise. Set goal every day what you want to accomplish and make sure you reach the goal and don't set it too hard though. To know what you really want and go after it everyday, that's the key to success in everything.

Go slow. Try changing 1-2 chords at first. Be realistic about it, know your limitations, don't rush or try not to slow the beat down in occasion when changing chord, keep it a steady rhythm even if you have to slow the song down to 10 bpm that's fine as long as you don't speed up and down the rhythm because you can't change the chord quick enough. Take all the time you need to ring each chord nicely every note and you will get good sound out of it, no bad notes no buzz no mute strings. Start slow!

The more you rush your playing, the worst guitarist you will become. Finally, the most important tip i want to leave you for today is that rhythm must comes first.

Keep your strumming in basic rhythm 1-2-3-4 like your life depends on it. And remember, it always fun to play guitar.

Do you remember your first guitar? I love to hear your story too. Please share.
