When it comes to finding an acoustic beginner guitar, there are many things to consider. It may actually be worth spending enough money for a high quality guitar, if you have it. The ease with which the guitar plays and the sound it makes really is related to the quality and price.

If you’re looking for a high-end acoustic beginner guitar, an excellent choice is the Seagull S6, costing about $400-$500. It may be more expensive than what most beginners are prepared to pay, but it is an exceptional guitar for the price. Even professionals often keep their Seagull S6 after they’ve purchased many other guitars. Another good high-end acoustic beginner guitar is the Washburn D10S. Acoustic Guitar magazine voted it #1 for guitars under $500. Most people looking in this price range will end up choosing the Washburn or the Seagull.

In this acoustic guitar lesson I would like to talk about your practice routine and how you should be spending this precious time alone with your guitar.

Once you have allocated 30 minutes a day for you practice session you need to know how to divide that time up to get the best results from your efforts. If you just mess around for 30 minutes you don’t actually learn anything new and it’s really just wasted time. Now don’t get me wrong! Noodling and messing around on the guitar could be a lot of fun and there should be some of that everyday but you must realize that it’s playing guitar and not practicing.

“How much do I need to practice”? I get asked this question very often by new students on their first acoustic guitar lesson.

Well the answer to that question depends on one of two things. Do you want to master the guitar or do you just want to learn to play it for fun? They say, (whoever they are) that the guitar is the easiest instrument to learn to play and the hardest to master.

If you want to “Master” the guitar then you might need roughly 10000 hours of practice and you can stop reading this article right now.

The dream of playing the guitar in a band is one that many people have – the thought of being on stage is cool. Many people playing in some of the most popular bands are self-taught guitarists. For those extra enthusiastic wannabes, buying guitar lessons will improve their guitar skills. Sadly, only a few can really make it to being a pro, because most of these people lose their eagerness once they master a few chords and don’t continue to learn and master their guitar playing skills.
