Playing guitar can be relatively easy and lots of fun, but there is important information that newcomers need to know before they begin. You see answers to common questions below and find useful information that will help you get started on the right foot. Best Age to Start Playing Guitar. Instruments are not toys and theres a necessary level of maturity required in learning how to play. My teaching experience has shown that the students who do best are teens and adults. Younger students struggle with a few things their hands are small and not as coordinated as older students, and their interest in playing guitar tends to be more of a fascination than a true desire. Learning Guitar As an Adult. Adults learn better and faster than teenagers, but tend to be more easily discouraged. Their mind set appears to be based on the idea that learning something new is for the young, not the old. As a result, adults sometimes feel out of place. Adults are also more self aware with better developed ears, which makes it harder for them to tolerate the sometimes unpleasant sounding learning process. Less mature students dont know any better and think that they sound great from the beginning. Bottom line Those who play a lot and stick with it do the best. Be patient and give yourself time to work everything out. Learning Guitar Basics. If youre serious about playing guitar, then the first required step is to learn the basics. Basics refers to the common building blocks and techniques that accompany all guitar styles. For example, chords, scales, tuning, fingering, strumming, etc. Once you get a handle on these elements, then you can begin actually putting them to use playing songs. Fenders Getting Started On Guitar with Keith Wyatt DVD is a great introduction to basic techniques. Available for both acoustic and electric guitar, this disc includes just the right kind of instruction to help beginners get started properly. The production quality is outstanding, theres a load of content and the lessons are easy to follow. PLEASE NOTE This DVD does NOT include my free lesson footage posted online. Its produced by Fender, published by Hal Leonard, and taught by Keith Wyatt. Should I start on acoustic or electric guitarThis is the number one question I get asked. First let me explain to you the difference between an acoustic and electric guitar. The bodies of acoustic guitars are hollow boxes that serve to amplify the sound of the strings when they vibrate. Electric guitars are usually made of a solid piece of wood and the sound of the strings is picked up by electro magnetic pickups. This signal is then sent to an amplifier. Acoustic guitars can be played and enjoyed without any additional amplification. Electric guitars need to be plugged into an amplifier to truly hear their sound. Both acoustic and electric guitars include six strings, are tuned the same, and are basically played the same. What you learn on one type of instrument will carry over to the other. About Steel String and Nylon String Acoustics. Acoustic guitars include steel string and nylon string varieties. The steel string, or folk guitar, is the standard type and is used the most in popular music. Song examples are Yesterday by The Beatles, Stairway to Heaven by Led Zeppelin, Me and Bobby Mc. Gee by Janis Joplin, and literally a million other tunes. Nylon string guitars, which produce a softer sound, are primarily used in classical and flamenco music but they sometimes appear in more mainstream music as well. Song examples include Tears in Heaven by Eric Clapton and Have You Ever Really Loved a Woman by Bryan Adams. Country music icon Willie Nelson, part rebel and part odd ball, has strangely made a nylon string guitar his instrument of choice which is uncommon in his genre. Either type of acoustic guitar is suitable for beginners. You may want to stick with a steel string since its the most common. They will produce the sound you hear in most popular acoustic songs. There are a few benefits of the classical variety. Nylon strings are a little softer on the finger tips. Also, the strings are spaced slightly wider which can give more room to chubby fingers. Acoustic Guitar Prices. A good starter acoustic guitar will cost between 1. For a bit more, you can get a pack which includes a gig bag soft case, strap, electronic tuner, extra strings and picks. Acoustic guitars dont come in nearly as many shapes as electric guitars because their shape has an effect on how they sound. In general, youll find this to be true about acoustic guitars the bigger the body, the bigger the sound. About Electric Guitars. Electric guitars are as common in popular music as steel string acoustics and even more common in rock styles especially guitar solos. The electric guitar signal is frequently routed through devices that add special effects to the sound. These effects include reverb, distortion and echo. Electric guitar song examples include Johnny B.
