Playing the guitar: how to choose a first instrument
First, you must decide what type of guitar music you want to play. Wanting to become a rock star with a powerful electric guitar isn't the same as dreaming of becoming a classical guitar virtuous. However, if you're not sure about a style, many believe you should start learning the technique with the latter. Since they're made of nylon strings instead of steel, they require less hand strength when pressing them. Additionally, they have a wider fretboard, making it easier for beginners to play cleaner chords while gaining finger dexterity. In any case, you should set a budget for your first guitar. Be wary of excessively cheap ones, priced under €150, although it's not recommended to opt for very expensive instruments either. It's best to go directly to a music store where you can receive advice and try out the guitars in person. Likewise, ask the assistant to play the same piece on different instruments, so that instinct and hearing can help you choose the one with the most pleasing sound. It's recommended to hold it in your arms and feel the curves and feel of its strings: if you feel comfortable, then it will be an invaluable companion on your adventures.
