If you, like me, are interested in learning the guitar then one of the most important decision you will have to make in your musical career is buying a guitar.
I want to give you a few tips that might help you make an informed decision on how to choose the right guitar for you.
Remember, there are thousands of different guitars out there but only a few that will suite you and your playing style.
Make sure to do your homework when you are buying your first guitar.
As a budding guitar player it is easy to get a little bit confused by all the information and advice that there is out there.
There are many places you can get advice and information from and be sure to check them all before making a decision.
Remember that an informed decision is ultimately the best one.
So go out and find out prices read guitar magazines and get reviews on all the different guitar brands available to you.
You can also go check out your local music store and ask for advice from an experienced person.
Of course you shouldn't forget about the Internet and its vast banks of knowledge.
Try your best to stay within your budget.
Once you have the background guitar knowledge you need make a list of four or five guitars that you like.
Take your list and compare the prices of each guitar online and offline.
Do not let sales people talk you into spending more money than you have, once you have worked out your budget you have to stick to it.
When you have a list set out and all the guitars on your list are within budget it's time to go out and play them.
This can be intimidating for beginners but you have to play it even if you don't know a single chord.
Remember you aren't in the store to show people how well you can play, you are there to choose the guitar that sounds right for you.
It is important to enjoy the feel of the guitar when you play it as much as the importance of the sound that it pushes out.
Another great idea is to take an already experienced guitarist with you when you are testing and looking at guitars.
They will have good advice for you about the sound and feel of the different models.
An experienced guitar player will also have some sound advice for when it is time to make a decision on your guitar.
good luck with buying your guitar and try to keep these points in mind.
