If you're reading this article, chances are you've already become quite interested in the almost mystical relationship between man and the music - and more specifically between a man and a guitar.
And for good reason. Some of our favorite songs were written and played on this instrument the most wonderful and versatile. I've been playing guitar for 15 years, and the case just becomes more and more with age. Some of you know exactly what I'm talking about, and some of you may be scratching your head a little.
That's understandable. But I did and the important point - if you're really going to pursue the guitar, you want it. Very bad. There is an element of romance to the music ... there is no denying it. In the past, the exercise of any kind has been called the "mouse" is a wife, a daughter of the gods. Music, like all art, is a relationship, and it is a romantic. So if you're in love with the idea of playing the guitar and you're in love with music, you're ready to buy a guitar. If you just want to look cool, you'll probably fail. No joke. Re-evaluate.
So if you know where to go from here?
Before you buy something, you have to decide if you want to play acoustic or electric guitar (if you limit yourself to one of the guitars so far). If you want to play acoustic, some of the following statements apply to you, but not everything. Acoustics is a resource for music, and in fact own the league. You can not beat the natural tone of an acoustic guitar that is made with care. From strumming the strings are finger-picking bluegrass, it's just a wonderful tool. It 'nice to learn together, because the languages are thicker and a little' more, press the keyboard. This is a great guitarists of all developments. But for those who want to get a little 'dirtier, and by electronic means and how it is for you. It is also slightly easier to play.
So you can begin the selection, it is necessary to explore the sounds and styles you love. There are some distinctive features that will help you in your choice.
First of all, the body of the guitar. There are two general types, each of which further distinctions: a solid body and hollow body. Bodied guitars usually have never seen a Fender Telecaster and Stratocaster, Gibson Les Paul and SG, and RG series Ibanez. Sturdy body guitars are generally bright, "Spanky," a voice. This means that the tone is higher in the register, corresponding to the tones we hear some of your favorite rock, blues and country music. Solids are thinner and therefore only a little 'easier to play - but they can also become quite heavy (especially Les Paul). Hollow body guitars, however, are more full-bodied sound "hot". In general, indicates the difference between cables guitars like Gibson, Gretsch Chet Atkins, or 335. The tone is usually lower end, which corresponds to relaxing sounds of jazz and blues to slow down ... But do not be fooled. The hollow body can rock with the best of them. Ted Nugent used a hollow body, for example, like many rockers.
The second is the guitar pickups. The pills are just as responsible for the guitar tones of wood, in my opinion. Do you like the heavier, thicker? Then you will want humbuckers. Humbuckers are full-size pickup thickness usually see in Gibson guitars and Ibanez RG. They are capable of great sound, great without causing too much noise in excess. Do you like the upbeat tone Spanky? Then you have single coils, which are usually found in Fender Telecaster and Stratocaster. These microphones are drivers and get a bass sound bright and solid, but if you intend to play Metallica, which is constantly faced with the noise that comes with the territory. If you use a high gain single coil pickups, the sound is going to happen. Each brand of guitar uses a variety of single-coil pickups and, to avoid stereotypes. For example, Paul may have a single coil pickup called P-90 instead. They sound amazing.
In addition, there are some Strats and Tele with humbuckers. The possibilities are endless. There are some active pickups that come on the guitar now. EMG is a wide range of them. They are able to grow healthy effects and amplifiers, but they have batteries, and some people are naturally faithful and a bell that the basic humbucker or single coil distinctions ... including me.
Third, the appearance. An aesthetic of guitar is important to ensure that you are addicted to long. You may be drawn to some very flashy, colorful guitars. There is nothing wrong with that. Maybe it's just your style. But I will say that it's really hard to get bored of the tried and true. Sunburst, natural finish, solid colors and basic endurance. You will also notice that there are serious guitars unique. Dean and Jackson make some crazy styles, and with his Gibson Explorer and Flying Vs The same rules apply - if this is your style, go ahead ... but the truth is tried and endurance.
Finally, the gameplay. A guitar should be easy to play and should feel good in your hands. Put your hand up and down the neck. How does the curvature of the back of the neck feel? It is a curve D? The curve C? Curve V? (In other words, is a curve, the curve of turn or sharp curve?) What feels best for you? It is a thick neck feels better in your hands, or thin? In addition, the chains should not be so high above the frets strings are hard to press. Of course, any guitar can feel like http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifwork at first, but to compare and see which is more easily without loading tons of buzz.
If you have all these factors figured in, you can make an informed decision about the guitar for you. Always remember you get what you pay for. If it's cheap as dirt, there is probably a reason ... and it's probably a good reason to stay away.
Cheers and happy scratching.
