First Guitar Lesson

Preparing For Your First Guitar Lesson
So. You've decided that you'd like to learn how to play the guitar, huh? Great decision! In this article,
I'll cover the basic things you'll need to get before you're ready to start taking guitar lessons.
The first thing you'll need is pretty obvious: a guitar! You should really give some serious
consideration to what you want in a guitar before you buy one, though.
There are three major classifications of guitars: acoustic, classical, and electric. Acoustic is pretty much
the most versatile, but it may not be what you want.
An acoustic guitar is a steel stringed guitar with a hollow wooden body. As it's name suggests, it can be
played acoustically, meaning that you don't need an amp to play it. You can use an amp with an
acoustic guitar, though. Some come with pickups already installed inside the guitar - you just plug in a
¼" sound cord and go. These are called acoustic-electric guitars. If you choose a guitar without this
feature, you can buy a soundhole pickup for your guitar for about $60, which allows you to plug your
acoustic guitar into an amp.
A Classical guitar is similar to an acoustic guitar, except it has nylon strings and is designed somewhat
differently. As it's name suggests, a classical guitar is ideal for playing classical guitar. You might also
want a classical guitar for fnger-picking or Spanish music.
An electrical guitar is usually a plastic solid body guitar with thin steel strings. It requires an amp to
play it. Electrical guitars have a unique sound, and are often used with effects pedals to distort or
change the sound of the guitar. Electric guitars are central to rock music, as well as being integral to
many other types of modern music.
Once you get your guitar, you'll still need a few other items. If you're playing an acoustic or electric
guitar, you'll want some picks. I'd suggest you start with Medium picks for most music. You should
also buy a capo, which is used for changing the key of your guitar. Be sure that it fits your guitar
properly before you buy it though.
With these items, you should be ready for your first guitar lesson.
