What kind of guitar should a beginner use?
Most guitar students start with a nylon string acoustic guitar (also commonly referred to as a Classical Guitar). This type of guitar works better for beginners as the strings are easier to press down and easier on the fingertips. Also, the neck and spacing of the strings are usually wider which makes it easier for students to finger strings without interfering with other strings. Although this type of guitar is usually associated with a style of playing where the strings are plucked with the fingers, students can also play using a pick and learn chord playing as well. Because this is the most common type of starter guitar, we created a special “Free Guitar with Lessons” offer for new students that features a very good student grade nylon string guitar.
