There are several variations, but primarily three types of guitars to consider when starting guitar lessons: Classical Acoustic, Acoustic, and Electric.
Many beginners start guitar lessons with a classical acoustic or steel-string guitar. These are the most common types available for borrowing, and it’s less likely you’ll be loaned a more complex guitar.
Learning on these guitars is advantageous because electric guitars require additional equipment like cables, amps, speakers, and power, while acoustic guitars only need a pick.
Acoustic guitars can’t be turned up loud, which is appreciated by neighbors. As a beginner, it’s easier to practice with a guitar that isn’t too loud, just enough for you to hear your mistakes and improvements.
The type of guitar you choose depends on the music you want to play.
Select a song with a guitar sound you like. Listen to the guitar sounds exclusively. Are the notes clear and soft, or distorted and heavy? Generally, acoustic guitars are gentler and cleaner, while electric guitar sounds are harsher and heavier due to amplifiers and effects. Identify if individual notes are being picked or if the strings are being strummed hard. Knowing your preferred playing style helps determine the … ...Read the rest.

“Travel Strategies For Classical Acoustic Guitar”

A common comparison, especially when buying a new guitar (or your first guitar), is the comparison between hardtail and floating bridge guitars. The question often arises: “Which type is better?” In reality, neither is better – they are different. The hardtail may be an excellent choice for you, while the floating bridge might work better for another guitar player. This depends partly on your skill level and a lot on your playing style.
In terms of skill level, hardtail guitars are a popular choice for beginners, mainly because they can be tuned and restrung much more easily than floating bridge guitars, where you often have to adjust spring tension, fine-tuning, and intonation with almost every restringing. On the other hand, floating bridge guitars allow you to perform really cool whammy bar effects that are both impressive and don’t require too much practice to master. One thing is certain, though – whether buying a hardtail guitar or not, don’t buy a cheap one. Aim for something in the mid-range or higher, otherwise, be prepared for some serious tuning issues, like your guitar going out of tune when you bend, or consistently having incorrect intonation that can’t … ...Read the rest.
