I mean many of us have gone through this. THE FIRST GUITAR SYNDROME
1.I have only this much to spend.
2.Acoustic or Electric.
3.Nylon or Steel.
4.Size
These have all been described in the sticky.
Perhaps Sound bite done by players on the site might help influence a newbi guitar player in his or her choice.
Many of us have plenty of guitars - cheepies and beyond.
Of course good quality recording would be a must.
Everone talks about sound. So what is it really like, and why? I know technique has much to do with this, but lets not go there. As once told me by an old timer, "A good musician can get a tune out of an old shoe box:.

The GfB&B Guitar Slide Rule

Download the PDF of the 'Guitar Chord Slide Rule', print it out, fold it together and you'll have at your disposal a very neat tool that will not only show you all the positions for the main flavors of chords, but will also teach you a very important lesson about how the guitar works... It consists of a folded sleeve and six double sided inserts, instructions for cutting it out and folding it together are included with the PDF ... it's very simple to do, and if you botch it, you can simply print it out again!

Buy it now for only $10
