As a beginner should I learn to play acoustic guitar or classical guitar?

An acoustic guitar is just that acoustic, it doesn't matter whether it's setup with wound steel strings, or nylon strings, or even has an electric pickup mounted on it. The general classification is, it's still an acoustic model. The best way to find out what guitar is the best for you, is by going to a shop, and trying out the different models from the different makers.

No two guitars will sound exactly the same, even within same model line. This is due to differences in the density of wood, and the grain of the wood itself, even if it comes from the same tree, and same section of the tree. As to a good guitar, you will want to look at for a new one somewhere above the two hundred twenty five dollar range, anything from one hundred to two hundred fifty dollars is in the decent quality range.

When you try different guitars, one of the most important aspects is the feel and more specifically the neck, and how it feels when you hold it. You can and will find different neck widths, which affect the comfort, of how the feel is. The body will also play a role in comfort, when you sit and hold it, as well as when you're standing, all of that should be taken into consideration, while trying out the different makers, and model lines.

Even the body styles vary, and this will also affect the way the guitar feels. This is why each person should handle, and try out different models and styles. Then the sound comes in as a very close second.

A huge do not, is buying from retailers such as Walmart, Target, K-Mart, or any other discount retailer, as those are considered as little more than a child's toy, or a decorative wall hanging. In short a piece of junk, and something a guitar shop, or luthier isn't going to want to work on. The big reason is the parts used to make it with are of the lowest possible grade possible, and assembly line manufactured.

The cost to make them both reasonably playable, and semi reliable, would cost as much, or more, as it would to buy one new or even used of a good quality. Also buying from online should be the last possible resort, as the prices stated, may not be indicative of the quality. Sometimes the manufacturer's price is inflated, to make the guitar seem a better quality, and like a great deal on the instrument, and it's not the deal or the quality it appeared to be.

When you buy from a shop, they can also help you get it properly setup, to give you optional ease and comfort, when learning and playing. Here are some brands to check out, Dean, Eastman, Fender, Gibson (and their Epiphone line), Gretsch, Heritage, Ibanez, Jasmine, Martin, Mitchell, Ovation, Rickenbacker, Seagull, Takamie, Taylor, Washburn, and Yamaha. The makers that I listed, are some of the better quality makers of guitars.

Each will have different lines and models to select from, and try out. Selecting a guitar is also very much a personal thing, as each person will look for the aspects, and qualities that they want in the guitar. Anyone can recommend a brand, or model type, but the final choice should be that of the person buying it, based on what they found by testing out different ones.

Some other things to buy are string wipes, an extra set, or two of strings, and a set of picks if you're goiung to be using a pick. However if you go with a pick, then try various hardness's of picks, to find the one(s) you like best. Some other options to consider are a good cleaning cloth, a surface cleaner made for cleaning the guitar, and a small bottle of lemon oil, for the fret board, to use once, but not more than twice a year, to keep the fret board, from drying out, and cracking.

Optional would be a tuner for your guitar, until you learn to tune by ear. However if you go with a classical style guitar, do not replace the nylon strings with steel strings. Doing so will warp the neck, and eventually pull the guitar apart.

The reason is the truss rod if there is one, isn't made to handle the tension required for tuning and maintaining the tuning of the steel strings. As to easier, both will be e the same if setup properly. A good shop will help with setup for you usually free if you buy from them as a part of the sale.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
