First Things First (Electric Part)

First things first in learning to play guitar is to own one!

You finally decide to start learning guitar excellent.Its one of the best ways to spent your time in my opinion (except  you have annoying neighbors :-p).What do you need to make this happen?Mmmmhhhh.A guitar.Yes its that simple but now its time to split the post in 2 sub posts to electric guitars and acoustic or classic guitars.

2.Electric Guitar
When it comes to electric guitar you know exactly what you want! You want to play in big gigs with 1000 of people listening to you playing your solos. You want to be a rockstar. Every men has a dream and they want it to come true. But when it comes to an electric guitar there are so many things you have to know in order to choose the right one . First things to ask your self is what music do I want to play with it.Do I want to play metal,jazz,rock heavy metal? Its something that you need to know because you want to buy something that suits to your needs! You cant play metal with a guitar thts got single coils on it and etc! The 2 best options for your first guitar is a squire or an epiphone in my opinion whatever you want to start playing these two guitars will suit your needs!'

Epiphone Les Paul Special II

Fender Squier

These two cost from 100 to 200 dollars and their main differences are on the bridge and on the pickups. The squire has a tremolo bridge but the epiphone features a tune-0-matic which keeps the tuning better! The Epiphone has humbucker sound so it makes it more capable for things like metal,heavy metal,hard rock,punk and things like that. The squire from the other hand  has single coils and its for more blues and jazzy things or something like Pink Floyd. My opinion on this one is to buy an epiphone because it offer a greater variety of music gernes that the fender although that you can play rock or punk rock with it !But can you play metal? The answer is no!But its up to you! Whatever inspires you more!

Should i buy a guitar from the internet or i should go to the store??

The best thing you can do in my opinion is to go to stores and not just one or 2  5-6.Every store have distinctive brands of guitars and believe me you dont want to buy a guitar that when you start playing sounds shit to you!So you go to a store you look but not alone.Take with you a friend you knows how to play just so you can hear every guitar you want to try.You finally found what exactly want and you start thinking of buying it but watch out!!!You always ask the manager when they have deliverd the guitar to the store.You dont want to have a guitar thats just have been played by 100 people before you or you can just  find the one that fits you and the you buy it from an internet store.Sometimes even though the same guitar may sound a little bit different.

First things first in learning to play guitar is to own one!

You finally decide to start learning guitar excellent.Its one of the best ways to spent your time in my opinion (except  you have annoying neighbors :-p).What do you need to make this happen?Mmmmhhhh.A guitar.Yes its that simple but now its time to split the post in 2 sub posts to electric guitars and acoustic or classic guitars.
  
1.Electric Guitars

Lets start with the anatomy of an electric guitar:                                                                       

1.Head:Its the place where the tuning keys are locates.

2.Tuning keys:Is the keys that we tune our guitar.

3.Nut:Is a bone or plastic that the strings are put on so they can be in place (affects the tuning a lot).    4.Neck:Is the part where the fretboard is located.

5.Frets:Are the steel pieces that seperate the notes on the fretboard/fingerboard.

6.Fingerboard/Fretboard:Is where we put our  finger in order to play something.

7.Soundhole:Is where the sound come from in acoustic/classicl guitars.

8.Body:Is the piece where the bridge the strings the knobs are at.

9.Pickguard:Is a piece of plastic located under the pickups or the sound hole.

10.Pickup selector switch;Its a switch that you can select which pickup you want active.

11.Tone/Volume Knobs:Its the knobs that you can control the volume and the tone from your guitar.

12.Bridge/saddle:Its the part of the guitar that the strigs are put on in order to bee in the air.

13.Output Jack:Is where we plug the cable from the amplifier in order to play!

                                                                  

 Thats the basic of a guitar anatomy sure there are a lot more but every guitar is a little bit different so if you have any question ask me in comments!
 

First Things First (Acoustic Part)

First things first in learning to play guitar is to own one!

You finally decide to start learning guitar excellent.Its one of the best ways to spent your time in my opinion (except  you have annoying neighbors :-p).What do you need to make this happen?Mmmmhhhh.A guitar.Yes its that simple but now its time to split the post in 2 sub posts to electric guitars and acoustic or classic guitars.

  

1.Acoustic,Acoustic-Electric and Classical guitars

Hey you love playing things like Taylor Swift or Ed Sheeran then keep reading this sub post.These guitars are ideal for those who especially love playing plain chords or for those who want to learn how to play a couple of jams in order to get a girlfriend (and trust me, it really works!).There are 2 types of guitar who doesnt require an amplifier.Classical guitar and steel string guitar.

Classical guitar

This guitar have 3 stell string and 3 nylon strings and the string have much more space between them than all the other guitars.This one is the cheapest so you can find a good one with only around 100-200 euro/dollars.This kind of guitar is the best for learners because the strings have a lot of scape between them and its easier for you to learn chords.

---

Acoustic,Acoustic-Electric

Here again there are two categories the Acoustic and Acoustic-electric.Their main difference is that the Acousic-Electric guitar can be pluged in an amplifier but thats just an extra.So an acoustic guitar have 6 steel string and its more close to an electric.The space between the strings is more narrow but it offers a better sound in my opinion!The prices for those guitars are from 100 to 1000 euro/dollars but who has 1000 euro to give for a guitar that he dont know how to play?So for starters anything from 200 to 300 is just great.Keep in mind that      the Acoustic-Electric is about 50euro more!

There are more categories for both of those kinds of guitars like 1/8,1/4,4/4, for classic and dreadnought,jumbo,folk for acoustic  this describes the size for classic and the shape of acoustic guitar.But for the first guitar that shoudnt consider you!Just choose what you like.The guitars are made of wood and different types of it which affects the sound.
