Beginner Advice: Buying Your First Guitar



Buying your very first guitar can be a very exciting thing. However, it can also be quite scary and annoying if you don't know anything about guitars. If you don't get the right guitar the first time, you can get quite annoyed later about it, and seeing the many different options to choose from can get quite overwhelming.

What should you do?

Become a little educated about guitars. Learn the difference between guitar companies and what genre of music they specialize in. Look at price differences and what you can afford. Look at reviews about how reliable certain guitars are or how intermediate guitarists feel about those specific guitars. Once you know what you want, go off to your local shop and get it.

*quick tip* Don't buy a certain guitar just because your favorite artist uses that company or model, look around a bit and see if you can find something that'll suit you. Remember, that artist uses an expensive guitar customized to what he/she prefers and they may have many effects to tweak the guitar even more. So, getting a similar guitar won't get you anywhere near the same sound as them.
