Online Guitar Lessons - Choosing a Guitar

Learning to play the guitar can be a struggle at first but regular excersises and training with the correct lessons can improve you playing very quickly,Firstly it is wise to attain a reasonably easy guitar to play as this will help the pupil to play thier first chords, gone are the old myths about buying a guitar ready for the bin in the hope that this will promote playing the guitar to the pupil, more to the point this will probably make them give up learning after a very short period, aching fingers, buzzing chords, unable to move from fast enough between chord changes, with an instrument that has been setup correctly everything being learnt will be easier than with a sub standard instrument.

The first thing to learn is how to hold the guitar in a comfortable posistion that can held for a period of time without discomfort, bad posture can put beginners off after a very short time becuase of aching back and arms, there are many pictures of people playing guitar to check around the internet.depending on what posture you choose can benefit your playing style no end, Obviously some players play standing up

{rock,blues,pop}and some play sitting down {classical, flamenco, folk).In the standing posistion you can adjust the strap to hang the guitar low {slash} or high {bealtes} when you hang the guitar low the angle of your wrist changes a lot and I personally cannot play the same riffs as I can sitting down in that position, I choose a medium height to facilitate easy chords and solo playing but everyone is different you should test which posistion is beter for you, there is NO perfect way its all subjective to the individual.

Choosing a guitar depends how much cash you can spend…

Spend as much as you can possibly afford to ensure you get a playable guitar that will last a long time rather than wear out within months.please bear in mind that you're going to spend a hell of a lot of time practicing and going over riffs repeatedly , and if you enjoy your choseninstrument, you'll look forward to regular practice. It's your time being spent on practice that really is really important (to enjoy the guitar, not to create the extra woes of a lousy guitar.)

Buying second hand instruments

The main advantage of a second hand instruments Is you can usually get a really great instrument for much less than a new model. Fortunately, guitars have virtually no, moving parts lessening the chance of things going wrong.It is a best to take n expert or a knowledgeable person to check the guitar and to inspect fret wear, thoughrougly test the controls and give the instrument a good test by playing it. Should you decide to stop playing yout instrument, you could sell the 2nd guitar for the same price or even at a small profit.
 
If youre just requiring an instrument to play around the campfire and for enjoyment at home, perhaps an acoustic would be best suited to the application.
 
People that wish to buy a guitar for their child: Think about purchasing a half size, or 3/4 size guitar - which are usually much cheaper too. Young kids also often find electric guitars easier to play because of the smaller neck and the lighter thin strings, Also if your budget allows and your child really enjoys music that uses electric guitar, consider this option seriously - if you're hesitant, perhaps a 2nd hand electric - if they decide not to play you can often resell the guitar for the same price or a little more.
