The word Guitar came to English language from Spanish. In Spanish it is called “Guitarra”. Guitar has a very ancient history that can be traced back to more than 3,300 years. Guitar is the primary instrument in Rock N’ Roll, Blues, Jazz and Flamenco genres of music. But guitar’s descendants can be found in Arabia, Asia, India and Europe. But it mainly evolved in the Americas. That’s about some history of Guitar.

Guitar is one of the most popular instruments amongst the youth and for the same reason, most of the young guys want to try out learning it. But it’s not for everyone. You need to have that in-born talent, music sense and rhythm sense to excel as a Guitarist. For that matter any musical instrument or music itself. So assuming that you have the above qualities, I have listed out some of the very important factors that you must consider if you are going to buy a guitar and enroll for an online guitar school.

Q1. Which guitar should I go for Acoustic or Electric guitar?

Ans: It is always better to buy an Acoustic guitar to start off. That’s because, some people lose interest in playing and practicing the guitar pretty quickly within months of buying an expensive guitar with all it’s accessories and you will waste your hard earned money. In order to avoid that, I would strongly recommend you to buy an acoustic guitar first and after ensuring that you are doing good at it, you can go for an electric guitar.

Q2. Which guitar is easy to play, Acoustic or Electric?

Ans: Be it Acoustic or Electric guitar, both are of the same family. The only difference is that in Acoustic guitar, the sound is produced by resonance from hollow box and in an electric guitar the Electric Pickup or Hum bucker absorbs the sound and then it is amplified by the amplifier. But one advantage of Electric guitars is that they are much easier to play than acoustic.

Electric guitar strings are placed closer to the fret board than of the acoustic guitar and the fret board is much thinner, making it easier for the hand to hold and the movement across the neck easier.

Q3. Which is the best guitar to buy? and How much would it cost?

Ans: A good acoustic guitar would cost anywhere between $50 to $70 and an electric guitar prices can cost anywhere from $100 and it can go up to $3000 or more. It all depends on the type of wood that is used for building it and cost of pickups. My recommendation for a beginner level electric guitars would be Ibanez GRX series or Fender Squier. You can even check out Yamaha.

Q4. In how much time can I master it?

Ans: The time taken to master any musical instrument will depend on how much effort and determination you put in for learning and practicing it. So it can be 1 year or 10 years, it all depends on your hard work.

Q5. Which type of guitar course is good, private tuitions or online guitar schools?

Ans. After the Internet has come the demand for private guitar tutors have come down drastically, the main reason for that is obviously, the cost and the convenience that are offered by online guitar schools. When you shell out more than $35 to $50 for a private guitar tutor and attend classes after a long drive once in a week as per your teacher’s schedule, online guitar courses are way too cheaper, can be learnt from the comfort of your home at your convenience. So anytime online guitar courses are the best now a days.
