But unless your planning on making bass your profession, a guitar amp will be fine.<a href="http://www.familylawmadeeasy.com/quick-divorce.htm"> KittyKat</a> Sure you can, but a bass amp supplys the low end sounds you’ll want for a full tone.

It's not that they're more flexible either, they're just under less tension when tuned to pitch. Were you afraid to ask the guy at the guitar store or something? You're gonna have to go there anyway to buy some.<a href="http://www.safedebthelp.com/credit-card-consolidation-debt-help.htm"> LucasMan</a> Well… the lightest you can get are .008’s.

]]> Comment on What’s the difference between acoustic guitar and classic guitar? by Penny http://bigguitarshop.com/blog/whats-the-difference-between-acoustic-guitar-and-classic-guitar/comment-page-1/#comment-7995 Penny Thu, 02 Sep 2010 13:01:32 +0000 http://bigguitarshop.com/blog/whats-the-difference-between-acoustic-guitar-and-classic-guitar/#comment-7995 The classic guitar is a type of acoustic guitar. The acoustic guitar is one that only uses acoustic methods to project the sound produced by its strings, so no amps plugged in to these. There are two types basically: classic and steel-string. The classic guitar uses nylon strings, which are the traditional strings on guitars. Steel-strings are a descend of this guitar (hence the nylon string being the classic). But, both are acoustic guitars. The classic guitar, as I mentioned, has nylon strings. These are softer, lower tension strings which are usually finger plucked versus the steel-string being strum with a pick. Classical guitars are generally used to play classical, Latin, flamenco, Spanish and jazz styles. The steel string is more often used in blues, folk, pop and country. Due to the string difference, the classical guitar has a quieter, yet rounder and smoother tone than the steel-string, which has usually a louder and brighter sound. The neck of a classical guitar is wider as well, which allows for the complex fingerwork and chord combinations guitarists use. Hope this helps!<a href="http://www.telescopebuyingguide.com/sky-and-telescope-magazine.htm"> Penny</a> The classic guitar is a type of acoustic guitar.

And I wonder how Peavey could be your favorite brand if you haven't played Peaveys and other guitars. Actually, Peavey makes pretty decent amps, but I'm not familiar with guitars of theirs. If you're just starting, get a Squier Strat or a Washburn and make sure you really want to get into this. I know people who bought their teenagers $1000 guitars to start with and they lose interest and it's a waste of money. It's good to start on something cheap and simple; if you love it, you'll know it and getting a better guitar will be a goal and something to look forward to. And if you aren't any good or don't enjoy it, no great loss.

]]> Comment on What acoustic guitar brand should i get for a beginner and price range? by OnTheRock http://bigguitarshop.com/blog/what-acoustic-guitar-brand-should-i-get-for-a-beginner-and-price-range/comment-page-1/#comment-7974 OnTheRock Thu, 02 Sep 2010 04:11:46 +0000 http://bigguitarshop.com/blog/what-acoustic-guitar-brand-should-i-get-for-a-beginner-and-price-range/#comment-7974 For around $100, the Takamine Jasmine NEX cutaway guitar is very nice. They are inexpensive and good quality beginner guitars. For about $200 the Yamaha FG700S is great (has a solid spruce top and is a very nice sounding and playing guitar for $200). There are other more expensive guitars that would be much better, but I really don't recommend spending over $250 for a beginner guitar until you learn to play a bit and are sure you're going to stick with it. The tone of the guitar is not that critical when you're just learning and should be more focused on how to play than on how great the guitar sounds. When you get good, buy a Taylor 314ce for $1500 and you'll be thrilled how great it sounds!<a href="http://www.healthstorebargains.com/srch/srch.php?q=Vitamin+E"> OnTheRock</a> For around $100, the Takamine Jasmine NEX cutaway guitar is very nice.

]]> Comment on Learning guitar but where do I start? by The Crowing http://bigguitarshop.com/blog/learning-guitar-but-where-do-i-start/comment-page-1/#comment-8065 The Crowing Thu, 02 Sep 2010 02:11:33 +0000 http://bigguitarshop.com/blog/learning-guitar-but-where-do-i-start/#comment-8065 I'd begin by learning some basic power chords and just how to pick. Then begin learning really simple songs. I'm not sure what kind of music you're into, but simple punk songs (ie: Green Day) are great for starting because they're often simple to play but you'll improve from learning them.<a href="http://www.popwebshop.com/family/"> The Crowing</a> I’d begin by learning some basic power chords and just how to pick.
