So, after you've made your choice as to whether you're going to play acoustic
guitar or electric guitar, how do you go about choosing an instrument?
there are a few things that you might want to consider.
I would say for the most part, you should choose an instrument that is, at least,
at what we might call a professional standard of quality.
It should have good working parts. It should be able to stay in tune.
A cheaper instrument might not sound as full and as rich as an instrument that
might be a little bit more expensive. My advice would be to sit down with the
instrument, I know these days you can buy a lot of things online.
My advice would be to try and get an instrument that you can sit down and
physically play and that you can actually tell to some degree even if you are
begin, beginner that it actually feels like a good instrument.
[MUSIC] Now, you should, of course, love the instrument that you're going to play.
Above and beyond the fundamental sort of physical quality instrument, the
cosmetics or the aesthetics are entirely up to you.
If you decide that you want to play a guitar that's green glow paisley, and
that's the instrument that actually inspires you to practice every day, then
that should be your choice of instrument. Just be careful not to sacrifice quality
for the aesthetics, my advice would be to be in the room, play the guitar.
Like it, I would say, maybe from the 150 to 250 dollar price range might be a good
starting point. You can certainly spend a lot more money.
But if your budget is an issue, then I would say, you can find a decent
instrument these days for around. $150 to $250 both in the electric guitar
and the acoustic guitar arena. One other thing to consider is whether or
not you're left handed or right handed when it comes to playing guitar.
Usually right handed guitars are oriented in this way.
I fret with my left hand, and I pick the strings with my right hand, fingers or
with a pick. If you're left-handed, they do make
left-handed guitars that, that are positioned more like that, exactly the
opposite. And so maybe that's one thing you might
want to consider In your choice of instrument.
When it comes to electric guitars, depending on the guitar that you get, the
actual physical cut might be different so that's the consideration, if you're a
left-handed guitar usually for the electric guitar, you do need to get a
left, a left handed instrument where as with acoustic guitar sometimes you can
get the same instrument and you can get it modified.
And you can get the strings changed around for your left handed fingering and
fretting.
