You've determined you want to learn the guitar however are not sure of what to get? Playing the guitar is something virtually every person wants to do, except the minority have the endurance and the work ethic to stick with it for any extended time period. You have lots of choices in front, but this piece should make your evaluation on which guitar you want to purchase simpler.

I am a heavy advocate of learning to play on the acoustic guitar before transitioning to the electric guitar. Acoustic guitars are not as fogiving or simple to play as electric guitars and force you to hit each note without a glitch. If you don't, you and each person you are playing in front of will know. This will build up great finger strength and dexterity, a great foundation for turning into a first-class guitarist. Many guitar companies like Ibanez and Fender have wonderful acoustic beginner packages. I would urge going as economical as you are able to for your very first guitar. You can always upgrade should you make your mind up to stick with it. And if you don't, you aren't out $1000 for that sweet Taylor that's wasting away in the closet.

If you insist on beginning with an electric guitar, I would again look at the many starter products that are offered by loads of of the superior guitar companies. Squire, Ibanez and Epiphone all make killer beginner packages that will contain everything you need; guitar, strap, amp, cable. etc.. Your neighborhood pawn shops are a great resource for good, used electric guitars as well. No one said that you had to get a new guitar to learn on. I have found some of my most wanted gutars from going to different pawn shops.

A lot of of the best musicans that have ever lived have started out on the most horrible guitars that you can imagine. The guitar does not make you a famous player. Being a great play is what makes your guitar sound good. A fast google search for 'worst first guitar' will show you just how many of us have started out with what would be considered a toy guitar to most.

If you are set on purchasing a new guitar, I advise doing your homework. Don't go out and get the first thing you set eyes on. Visit quite a lot of stores, sit down & strum on and see what feels nice to play on. I would recommend talking to the sales employees in the shops. They are going to be one of your more knowledgable resources on guitars. The internet is also a useful resource for guitar reviews that might help you when making your decision.

To put it as plainly as possible. Your first guitar should have 6 strings and stick in tune enough to learn on. The tougher it is to fret the guitar, the better off you will be in the long run, even if you face a slower foundation as a result. Picking up the guitar was one of the most rewarding decisions I have yet made and it has given me a whole new love of music that I hope you can find when you purchase a guitar.
