I'm going to be taking guitar lessons soon and I don't have the best brand guitar. I received it as a birthday gift and haven't used it for some years, it's just sat in my closet. Does it matter what brand you start out learning by?

don't fret! ha ha it doesn't matter what guitar you start with... as long as it has 6 strings your pretty much set! basically.. there is no difference in guitars.. there isn't a guitar thats easier to play than another.. ..its just your taste.....and what you think sounds best!
good luck with the lessons!!!
if they don't work out... don't give up .. just teach your self!

When you start it doesnt matter if you are using a $2000 Spanish made flamenco guitar or a $400 yamaha, you will sound the same: Horrible. When you catch on after a few years then consider investing in a higher end guitar. I know its tempting to go out and buy the best but its a waste of money for now. Stick to what you got and be diligent in your studies.
Take care

The brand you start learning on does not matter. However the cheaper the instrument the more likely the playability of that instrument will be poor and and discourage you from wanting to practice or play it. I would buy the best instrument you can afford. I started playing Bass guitar in 1988 with a 800.00 bass and loved it, I couldnt put it down. I've played cheap instruments and couldnt wait to put it down. You dont need to spend big bucks to get a decent instrument though. But I would recomend getting the best you can afford to keep you from getting to disgusted with it and not sticking with it.

if you're just starting out, it probably won't matter which brand you have. after all, you might not even like it. but yeah, you always have time to get a better guitar later when you know more about guitars and know what kind of guitar you want to be playing. like what style and stuff.

Matt P is right. A nylon string guitar is probably the best to start with. You may also consider getting one with a wider board, as a lot of classical guitars are.

If the neck is not wrapped and you can chord the guitar pretty easily then it should be ok for awhile. The best guitar in the world is just as good as the musician playing it and the best guitar picker in the world is just as good as his equipment.
For learning you don't need the best just determination.

you should start with a nylon string acoustic it is easy er on your finger, not a electric u just have to know how to play it. Oh yeah the brand Yamaha, Fender, Gibson. No wal-mart brands they suck and cheap

Nope! it's better to just break in a plain guitar first, then as you get more serious about your playing, you can get get a better one, then by the time you've had your lessons, and you DO get another one, it'll be new! less wear and tear. Kinda gives you a goal to look forward to, it's more rewarding when you do it that way, ya know..........................

it should be something thats set up so its easy to finger and has enough of a good sound that your ear is rewarded for good efforts - doesn't have to cost a lot of money
