Question Posted Saturday November 17 2007, 8:40 pm
I'm looking into learning to play the electric guitar. I've looked at many sites and talked to a few friends, but none of their advice has helped me thus far. So, I was wondering if any of you could tell me what you guys think. What brand and model of guitar is suitable for a beginner?

If you say electric, I'd go with a fender strat-200 at the most. Or try an Austin. Those are cheaper and still really pretty good guitars. If you want to try an acoustic I'd say go with an Alvarez, Jackson, or Yamaha. That's what I got and I love it. It also really depends on what kind of music you plan on learning. If you plan on learning rock, or R&B, I'd go with an electric. If you want to learn country or folk, go with an acoustic. It really all depends what you are comfortable with all in all. You may decide you want something else. However, electric guitar is pretty easier to learn on then an acoustic. [ dottie4's advice column | Ask dottie4 A Question ]

Fenders have a blues-ey tone to them, but they make great first guitars. After about a year or two of playing it, you'll probably want to move up to a better guitar though. But for the price, you really cant beat it. The squier bullet is a decent quality guitar that lasts a long time.
