Answer 1

Try learning on a cheap classical (nylon string) guitar until you develop the finger strength to play steel (Who knows, you may even like playing Flamenco)
Good luck

Answer 2

Just like anything else. If you want to learn it. You can learn it. Practice is more important than a teacher at basically every stage of learning guitar. This is because it is a SKILL. It must be learned by action, not by absorption. Having a teacher is a good and valid way of learning most things. Learning to do something yourself out of sheer desire to learn to do it is almost always better. I have found that a teacher is only a real benefit for the following three things: A) Helping motivate the student B) Helping organize the student C) Providing knowledge as content to be learned. If you can cover A and B yourself, you will find that there is an awful lot of information that you can go pretty far before you start running into serious obstacles.

Answer 3

You have answer your self, why
you want to learn guitar only &
what is the motivation ? If u are able
to answer it, please go ahead:

1. You should get a cheap accoustic
guitar first.

2. Get hold of a small time guitar
player, to teach you basics of handling
it and playing all notes.

3. Keep learning from him, till you
find another teacher/player, who
is more skilled, and start from him
again.

4. He will then teach you the use of
chords and give you other lessons
to improve your skills.

5. You may have to change a few teachers,
before you feel comfortable and confident.

6. There are more than few hundred lessons
to learn, during this period.

7. Do not attempt to display your skills,
till you learn the western notations.

8. Most of the guitar players in India
have no idea about Western Notations,
and are not able to find excellent jobs.

9. To become a good Guitarist, you have
to put your heart and soul in to it.

10. It has a brilliant career prospect, if you
learn Western Notaions. You can perform
overseas as well.

11. For western notation learning, you have
to locate a school in Chandigarh. If there
is none, you can write to: Principal.
Delhi School of
Music, Malcha Marg, Chanakyapuri,
New Delhi 110001, he will help you
to locate one of its' ex-students in Chandigarh.

12. The school offer distance learning courses
from Royal School of Music & Trinity School
of Music, London, and their degrees are
recognised all over the world.

13. I know best of guitarists in India, but
those artists are not invited for accompan-
ing and western group.

14. All the current breed of Music directors
in Mumbai, Chennai are all having Western
Degrees.

Please search for Royal School of Music/
Trinity School Of Music, London in your
net, you will get there and know further.

Answer 4

I'd recommend starting with a classic guitar (or maybe it's called Spanish guitar) where the 3 high strings (G, B, e - so, Si, mi) are nylon. The neck of this guitar is wider than the necks of the Acoustic guitar, and the electric guitar, and that will exercise your fingers so that playing the other two kinds will be easy. also the 3 nylon strings are thick (as opposed to the same strings on the Acoustic and electric which are thin) and that will harden your fingers fast.
Oh and the sound of a classic is beautiful....
Good luck, and bring happiness to people with your music!

Answer 5

Guitar Center usually has good and knowledgeable staff who can point you in the right direction.

You should know that Bass and Acoustic/Electric guitars are really different. Bass guitar is a 4 stringed rhythm instrument, which is really fun, i play it. But typically the 6 stringed acoustic or electric guitar is what people learn to play when they want to play lead or rhythm - that's really what you can write songs on.

Companies also sell starter guitar kits with guitars or basses, amps, straps, tuners, etc. for a reasonable price and if you're just starting out it's good to get one of those. It's more practical to get an exspensive guitar later, when you get good.

Answer 6

It is really up to you in regards to whether you would like to start with an acoustic guitar or an electric. I learned on an acoustic which made it really easy to play electric later. My first very own guitar was a Squire Bullet. You can get them at Guitar Center. You could also try the whole starter kit thing too. At least it comes with an amp.

Answer 7

Although the electric guitar is a little easy 2 play but i think u go for dh acoustic one as it is less costly & the best 2 practice on

Answer 8

The thick strings on an acoustic will quickly create the callouses on your fingertips, which you will need. You should go online and see how to play 3 chords.G,C and D. From there, you should be able to play 100s of songs. Whatever you do, Keep it fun.

Answer 9

Accoustic, it will be easier to learn to start off with. then you can move to electric

Answer 10

It is critical to learn English first.
