Choosing The Right Guitar For You
So, you’ve made the decision to take up learning the guitar. Congratulations, you’re now at the beginning of a fun and rewarding journey.
Now, one of the most important things to decide before you begin is what kind of guitar should you get? This is dependent on what type of music you’re looking to play. Are you into Rock or blues, metal, country, funk, etc.? Whichever type of music you prefer, there’s pretty much a range of guitars to suit it.
As an example, if you enjoy listening to harder rock, like metal, then buying an electric guitar by such companies as Ibanez, Washburn or Jackson would be ideal. However, if softer rock is more your thing, a better choice would be a Gibson, Yamaha or Fender guitar.
The best piece of advice I can give you is to go into a guitar store and simply try some out. I’d be lying if I said you only buy guitars based on their make, they’ve got to look and feel comfortable too.
The majority of guitar playing professionals opt to stick with one make or model of guitar. In fact, Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton, two of the greatest guitar players of all time, played Fender Stratocasters almost exclusively. Jimmy Page played a Gibson Les Paul as does Slash from Guns n Roses. I’d suggest looking up all your favourite guitar players online and finding out what type of guitar they typically use, then go and try those out in the store.
My one final pitfall to look out for is what’s known as the ‘action’ of the guitar. This term refers to the space between the strings and the neck. Basically, the higher the action, the harder you have to press down on the string, and the harder the guitar will be to play.
A fair percentage of guitars are made with an action that is too high for the those just learning to play the guitar to get to grips with. Should you get one like this, it’s quite possible that playing will hurt your fingers so much that you’ll feel like giving up after a couple of weeks. Simply ask the the assistant in the store to check the action for you and you can’t go far wrong.
