Best Buy for Beginners! Great for the
accomplished musician too. Nylon strings are not hard on the fingers.
They only need 2-4 lbs. of pressure to make great sounds.
The softer, mellow sound, is played with fingers instead of a pick. Some are available
with an electronic pickup, or they can be added to existing guitars to add more volume.
These are a great guitars when you first learn to play, but will be a forever investment,
as you will always use it. |
Folk Guitars use Steel strings, and are NOT recommended for beginners.
They are good for experienced players that
have developed greater hand strength.
They usually require 6-12 lbs. of pressure to produce a good sound.
They have a crisper, louder sound, and are usually
played with a pick. Some are available with an electronic pickup, or a pickup can be added
to existing guitars to add more volume.
Also available in 12 string
models for a really FULL sound. |
Electric guitars have
light weight Steel strings. They usually require 3-5 lbs. of pressure to
produce a good sound.
Beginners not wanting to play an Acoustic Guitar, can learn just as well on
an Electric Guitar.
Played with
fingers or with a pick. (Requires an electric amplifier to produce sound.) Added benefits
are they are sometimes a one time investment as opposed to starting on a nylon string and
adding an electric guitar later. |
