Miss Easly asked:


I’m a beginner guitar player and have completely fallen in love with playing. I’ve been practicing on an older guitar that doesn’t tune well anymore. I know from experience that instruments can look amazing but sound awful. I just want to find a cheaper, high quality guitar that will last a long time.
How do I find the right one?
Yes, I’m looking for an Acoustic Guitar.

I have a small acoustic fender guitar that I’ve had a long time, but it isn’t a full size guitar and I want a new acoustic. I also would like to get an electric guitar. What are the best brands? Is it worth spending more for a good guitar or can I get a good cheap one?

I know people say that you have to go to an expert to teach people how to play a guitar.I get tired because it takes a long time when other people try to teach me and then I start to get bored.So if there is anyone one that can give me advice on how I could play the guitar on my own that would be a really good help.(Please)

Sorry If my english is not very well..

I have been trying to learn play guitar and so far I am not successful.. I’ve been trying for a long time now but I’m just not sure if what I am doing is even right… I know a few chords but I think my technique is pretty bad.

Can anyone recommend some good online guitar lessons?

I’ve had a bass guitar and acoustic for a long time, but never really taken the time to learn. I want to learn acoustic, but need lessons at my disposal for whenever I find time to practice. I saw that Sam Ash has some available, any suggestions?

Ronnie Frown asked:


I’ve played bass for a long time, but I know some guitar basics like chords. Recently bass hasn’t been enough company with my singer songwriter aspirations. How long does it take to play well enough to accompany myself? Am I better off just joining a band as vocalist?
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PLAY WELL ENOUGH TO ACCOMPANY MYSELF???

David C asked:


My guitar teacher told me it’s bad to hang them by the neck since they’re supposed to sit on the body.
He actually bought one that was hanged for a long time and it didn’t sound right, he took it to a guitar technician and he told him hanging them damaged the guitar.
Thanks in advance!

Curious asked:


I know they are both nylon strings, but is there a significant difference in construction and sound? Also what is a good classical guitar or flamenco guitar to buy? I have been playing the steel strings for a long time and am thinking about exploring the classical style. Any recommendation helps. Thank you.
