Matichel asked:


I'm thinking about learning to play the guitar, but I'm a college student on a tight budget. Looking on www.craigslist.org I can find some acoustic guitars for <$100, but the quality is probably not that great. How good of a guitar do I need if I'll probably buy a better one if I decide to continue playing? Does it really matter whether it's a Yamaha or Fender (or some other lesser brand), etc.? What are the *essential* things I should be looking for in a first guitar? If anyone knows, I would also appreciate descriptions of the major guitar teaching methods.
hehe, it's nice to see all these helpful responses. ^_^ Just as a note, I've played the piano since 3rd grade, and a Chinese stringed instrument (similar to the violin) since 7th. I want to start on an acoustic because it seems more versatile if I know I want to learn classical guitar. I've been trying to decide whether to pick up the guitar or violin, but I figure it would be easier on my budget if I try the guitar first (esp since it seems like I'd be more likely to be able to teach myself guitar than the violin). If I like it, I definitely plan to look for a professional teacher. Thanks again for the responses!

If I practice every day and have a lesson once a week, how long will it take for me to become really good? I already know how to read music (I play the violin and the piano), and I already have an acoustic guitar. I know this question should be in the music section, but I wanted to put this question in the adolescent section to see what people my age have to say about this.

Also: Is there anyone here who plays the guitar and is good? How long have you been playing the guitar for? How long did it take you before you became good at the guitar?

Eric N asked:


I've been playing guitar for a few years now on the acoustic, but I also want an electric guitar. I like alternative rock bands like Incubus and Blink 182. I want a guitar that has good sound, but at a price below $1000. What guitar should I get?

Dusty DayDreams asked:


I want to learn how to play the guitar and am planning on asking my mom for a guitar for Christmas/my birthday.
I want an acoustic guitar and am wondering what length I should get and if there is any type that is best for beginners.
Oh and I'm about 5'10 if height has anything to do with the length I should get.
Any comments, recommendations and suggestions would be much appreciated.
