Hi everyone, I'm 19 and recently started learning guitar. I’m a beginner and looking to buy my first acoustic guitar. My budget is around 400€ (I’m not sure if that’s low or mid-range for acoustics, but I’m still new to this). I’m hoping to get a good deal during Black Friday. Any suggestions for good beginner-friendly acoustic guitars in this range?

wear headphone to hear it clearly, i need to know how to get the sound of the rhythm guitar everytime he palm mute

(idk how to turn it into words but yeah) it just sounds SO GOOD

I saw a post earlier where someone claims that a pattern on the fretboard helped them memorize it or is at least helping them get closer to that goal. A commenter said that it was too complicated for such a simple task, he stated to only chose a root note and add intervals. This bothers me because I have yet to learn the fretboard and don't know how one is supposed to apply intervals to a root note on guitar. In piano you merely get your third and fifth but the piano is structured literally all in one line whereas the guitar has multiple of these lines and the lines are not perfectly structured like the piano. By lines I mean that the piano is Merely C D E F G B A (or scale and ignoring sharps and flats) as is the guitar except each string starts at a different key and the lines in the guitar (being the strings) are not followed perfectly. This imperfection i refer to is that an E string is not followed by an F string as it jumps to A and A jumps to D but G does not jump to C. Say I want to play Em7 on the guitar, I would get my root note and ill pick for this example the E on the 7th fret. I will then some how have to know that B is on the 9th fret, D is on third, and G is on the second. And this shape changes throughout the entire fretboard. It is bothering how unstructured to me this seems due to my lack of comprehension and I besiege someone that will spare some intellectual crumbs to satisfy my needs. Please please what do I do. I tried the Caged system but that doesn't allow me to memorize the individual notes on the fretboard which is what I strive to do. All help is appreciated and I apologize if the aforementioned is not accurate or eluding due to my lack of knowledge in guitar. ok bye.

Post which I refer to

For starters i know how to play the intro to nothing else matters up to where james starts singing, im not really interested in learning the rest but more so just knowing how to finger pick, So far i wanted to learn robby kreigers solo on light my fire because its mostly hammers and pull offs. Does anyone know what might help me best with learning to fingerpick or maybe even hybrid pick?

Should I consider taking a break or should I keep playing until i start to numb to the pain of the broken skin? I really enjoy playing bass and I’ve been trying to steadily improve. Lately I’ve started learning music out of my league and I blistered first then it popped and as I continued to play it now looks like that.

"I have a cheap acoustic guitar, the KASPAR 10C, and I'm facing an issue with it. Whenever I play any string, the sound resonates for too long, almost like a bell (hmmmmmmmmmmmmm) at the end. The guitar doesn't produce any buzzing sound, and the action seems fine. Can anyone help me figure out what's causing this and how to fix it?"

guess who played with the tuning peg too much

I’ve heard a lot lately about fretboard fluency lately. In my understanding it’s basically knowing all of the notes of the guitar neck and being able to understand how they all interact to create the sounds you want. CAGED, pentatonic scales, major/minor/dominant 7 shapes, dimininished, and a lot more stuff. I’m a few years into playing guitar but all of this theory stuff is very new to me. I want to be able to intelligently play all throughout the neck of my guitar within the next year or so. Does anyone have any good suggestions on where to start with achieving this fretboard fluency?

I wanna learn how to play like a lead guitarist any piece of advice or somw yt tutorial you can recommend. Thanks guys

I purchased a Zoom G1X Four multi effects pedal. I can connect pedal to my amplifier (an Orange Crush 12), but I don't know what my amplifier settings should be to get the Zoom effects working as they should. At the moment I have set my amplifier set for a clean tone. With this clean tone I notice changes as I move through the different patches. But I don't know if I am getting the effects sounding as they should.

Should I have my amplifier settings for a clean tone or should set bass, middle, treble and over drive to zero and just set slight gain? Is there another more effective setting? Thanks in advance.

I used to take lessons back when I was a teenager, but I was a bit uncomfortable taking one on one lessons because I was a shy teenager. So, I think I'd like to try again but learning at home. How many of you learned guitar by yourself (whether you watched tutorials, etc) and how did your experience go?

Question: second guitar lesson, rude teacher, should I get another?

when strumming i struggle to not play strings for example a d chord i struggle with not playing the top two strings does anyone have any advice on learning how to play chords like that properly

I want to buy this but I am very poor and most money goes to bills. I can afford this one and I want to buy it off ebay because it's 100 dollars cheaper.

Does this sound like a good idea? Has anyone bought used guitars off ebay?

I need help to learn this song. There is no sheet music or tabs or whatever to learn this song. There is song name in the title. Please help me to learn this song it would mean the world the me!!

Hello everyone,

Thinking about learning how to play, and wondering what would be a good entry level acoustic guitar. Doesn’t have to be the cheapest or priciest, but something decent/appropriate for learning. If I get into it, will upgrade for sure.

Thanks in advance!

I think so far the most difficult thing I've learnt is almost all of Sweet Child O Mine (Right up until where the wah comes in on the final solo). I was just looking for some suggestions on what I should look at learning next. Something in the same like ball park in terms of genre (rock or metal or anything, even more GnR would be cool). Was just a bit stuck for what to do and wanted to get your guys' opinions.

Hey, I know this is kind of a stupid question but I was wondering if there was any way to get better at stopping a chord right after I play it? For reference I'm trying to learn Die, Die my darling by Misfits but I'm only going about 70% speed in the beginning.

I really like aggressive noisy bare bones guitar like drive like jehu, at the drive in, and fugazi. Anytime I’ve had a teacher they didn’t really like the same stuff so I was wondering if anyone had recommendations. It’s just tricky learning a lot of this stuff by ear and tabs don’t help much cuz a lot of ‘em suck
