acustic guitars 4 beginners?

Question

i intend to learn the guitar , can anyone tell me which is the the best acustic guitar 4 beginners,
also not very expensive, about 50 euro

Answer 1

Yamaha acoustics are decent. Get a set of Elixir strings and they will be nicer to your fingers. :) My first guitar was a Yamaha F310 and I still have it. No problems. Just not an amazing sounder.

I now have a Taylor 110, which is the most beautiful sounding and playing guitar ever!

Answer 2

First of all. Forget about "Guitar Hero". It's a video game. Has nothing to do with playing a real guitar. Anyway, Yamaha is probably the best accoustic out there unless you are looking for a 12-string or a classical guitar. However, if you aren't sure that you will like it and keep doing it, I suggest looking on ebay, at garage sales or even a local music store for a much cheaper knock-off to start with. The truth is, at the very first starting level it isn't going to matter what brand it is. It;s true that there are different qualities out there, but at the end of the day, for your purpose of just trying it out and learning, there's only so many ways to make a guitar. It doesn't have to be anything expensive to start.

Answer 3

Just to start, a less expensive guitar may be ok. I started with a classical gut string guitar about 30 years ago. I got it at a garage sale for $5. It was a good guitar actually but I was wanting to learn rock. I played that guitar for 5 years before I finally got a better guitar. I have a Hohner Auditorium Style large body acoustic. It just rings like the purest sound you have ever heard. It is really hard to answer your question as there are many models to choose from. My suggestion is to go to a guitar shop and get the feel for a few different models. I wouldn't spend too much until you discover whether or not it is something you will stick with.

Answer 4

Just hit it as hard as you can and take the pain like a man. I've been playing guitar for years and I can't remember ever having that problem but I have big @ss fingers so that's probably why. However, recently I began acoustic guitar tapping (August Rush-esque style music) and I had to go through what you're going throu but on my right hand. It hurts and my accuracy wasn't great but I just kept hammering over and over and over and finally got it. When you push down, keep it there. Don't pull it away. I would also advise you to start on an acoustic guitar. The transition to electric will be 100 times easier than the transition from electric to acoustic (which, if you are a serious guitar player, will probably happen one day.) Plus acoustic is just better. EDIT: The guy above me is one of those 12 year old middle schoolers who go through that period of obsession with 90's grunge music.

Answer 5

If you are pricing in Euros, that means your not in the states. (BRILLIANT!!!!!) But if you have a pawn shop or a resale shop look there. You can sometimes find decent guitars cheap. Don't spend a lot until you are certain you really want to learn. I found a Gibson SG for $100. The guy had no idea what it was. That was early in my playing days. I now own a Strat, a Les Paul, an Esp and my acoustics are 2 Martins. A D-1R and a D-28. Start cheap and work your way up

Answer 6

Go to ur local music shop & have a look at what's in ur price range. Nylon strings are kinder to ur fingers at first. If u can take a friend who knows about guitars that would be a great help. Otherwise take a few down, hold them, try pressing the stringa against the fingerboard. Get the salesperson to play a few for u so u can hear their sound. Be aware: 1) Ur left hand fingers wil hurt at first, but it soon wears off 2) U cannnot have long pretty nails on ur left hand! I tell all my female pupils this. Hope this helps.

Answer 7

it depends what type of guitar you want. If your after a fully steel stringed accoustic (which are slightly harder to start learning on) then id go for any of the yamaha F range such as the F310 or the F370. If your after a very easy one to start learning on then id recomend something such as the C40 (also a yamaha).

Yamaha are definatly one of the best to start on mainly because of their range of guitars and low price.

hope this helps :)

Answer 8

Try playing 'Guitar Hero' first... It's a video game (I think on the PS2?) where you play the guitar chords from famous songs... At least that way you can make sure you will have the needed hand eye coordination w/ out wasting money on guitars, books, lessons, etc.

Answer 9

Yeah Yamaha is good. you don't want to go all out and buy an expensive one at first...just in case you change your mind ya know? lol
