Guitar help?

Q. I want to but a guitar and learn how to play. Should I get an acoustic, electric, acoustic/electric, or a bass guitar? Which is the easiest to learn? What is the best brand? Does an acoustic/electric sound like both an acoustic AND electric guitar? Is there one that I can play, and then will be able to play the rest? Please leave VERY detailed answers.thanks.

Answer
the first problem u get when u learning to play guitar is the damage on the finger tips so per my experience in music

buy an electroacoustic guitar with nylon strings

It depends on how much u are trying to expend u can try

the ibanez guitars for around 300 bucks
electroacoustic classic guitar ( nylon strings

also de takamine or Yamaha at aroung 500 bucks
electroacoustic classic with nylon strings

If you have more questions do not hesitate to contact me

I want to study music therapy and want to play guitar with the clients. Should i use an acoustic guitar?

Q. Or should i buy an electroacoustic one? Also what type of music should i be learning to play?
Thanks :)

Answer
An electric acoustic is still an acoustic guitar that can be plugged into an amp if necessary. This will give you the flexibility to play for a larger crowd if needed or to easily record the guitar.
If your goal is to use the guitar in music therapy than I would suggest developing a fingerstyle approach. By utilizing aspects of folk, classical, and jazz you should be able to convey feelings of peace and serenity to your clientele.
A very noble ambition, I wish you luck

guitar electroacoustic image

I want to learn how to play a guitar. Which type of guitar should i buy and what are some recommendations?
Typically i want to play songs such as Iris, some blink songs, and other songs.

Answer
i started out with a decent acoustic, then branch off from there, if you like playing acoustic songs more save up and get an electroacoustic guitar and a small amp, or get an electric guitar and a small amp. If you still like playing after that, upgrade your amp and your guitars....best of luck!

What is a good amplifier for a electroacoustic guitar?

Iker Casil

Hi. I am interested in getting an amplifier for my electro acoustic guitar. I want it to play soft relaxing music though, not rock. What is a good amplifier brand or something? My budget is about 100 bucks or less, I have seen some for 60 dollars but they specify electric guitar, I don't know if that is going to work well with an electro acoustic guitar... I mainly interested on something that is durable and reasonably cheap, any brand suggestions?

Answer
I doubt it very much that you can get something that cheap. Even doubling the price won't do much I'm afraid if you're after something with at least a bit of quality. That said, I think you can get some Behringer stuff for under $100 (very low output though and Behringer stuff is well ... not the best quality).

An amp for acoustic guitar is totally different from electric guitar. First the speakers are different since these are meant to be more full range, where an electric guitar is more focused in the mid frequencies.

For this you tend to have a full range speaker, or more than one speaker - often a treble unit and a lower end speaker combined.

Also, you typically have more inputs and outputs on an acoustic amp than an electric one. Different types of inputs also in addition to the standard 1/4 inch jack.

Furthermore, acoustic amps are designed to play clean even when the volume is turned up. This requires a better build quality and often better components.

If you intend to play live with the amp - the need for volume comes in. So you will either need a larger and better amp (the Behringer is a toy for live use), or a very good PA and monitor set-up in order to hear yourself properly.

If you plan to play for the seniors at their Sunday coffee, you can do that without any amp at all. But add other musicians (drums and electric guitars in particular), plus an audience with a bit of volume and a regular stage and you are talking about major headaches for acoustic amplification.

What is the difference between these guitars?

Guitar Guy

So guys o don't know much about guitars! and i want to know what is the difference between one electroacoustic and one acoustic guitar?

Answer
An acoustic guitar is one that operates acoustically, it works without the need of electronic amplification. It is basically a wooden box with strings attached.

An electro-acoustic guitar is exactly the same as the above, except it has some kind of pick up built in (usually built into the bridge and "invisible") that allows the guitar to be connected to a suitable amplifier, PA system, recorder, effect pedal etc. It does not sound like an electric guitar when "plugged in" it is designed to sound like an acoustic guitar, only louder.

What is the defination of acoustics?

guitar electroacoustic image

Angelaa

Not the kind with guitars and junk, i mean the one that has to do with how well sound travels in a room and stuff, and how well a room echoes.

Can someone give me the defination of that type of acoustics?

Answer
Acoustics is the science of sound. Or, more technical terms "... the generation, transmission and reception of energy in the form of vibrational waves in matter." * A huge number of scientific problems and disciplines fit into this definition.Acoustics is by its very nature an inter-disciplinary field, drawing people from a widely differing backgrounds. A person who works as an 'acoustician' might be a physicist studying acoustic wave propagation, a mechanical engineer trying to control noise and vibration, an electrical engineer designing a new electroacoustic transducer, a civil engineer designing the acoustic properties of a building, an experimental psychologists studying psychoacoustics, a physician doing research in audiology, a computer programmer designing the sound effects for the newest computer game, just to list a few possibilities.
