Electric guitars are cool and I love nylon strings but I have the thick necks of classical guitars. I wish there was a way I could blend my bro's cheap Ibanez electric guitar with the strings of my classical guitar.
I've been saving for an electric guitar for quite some time. I used to play my sister's acoustic steel string for a little bit but the action is HORRIBLE.
If you have the money, I would get an electric guitar with a strap, and a bar stool to play classically.
So much more easier and plus you can incorporate classical technique into your playing, change the sound you want, etc.
With just a classical guitar, you get the nice soft sounds but you can't change it up every once in a while. That's why I'm saving for an electric guitar :).
I think u mean: What's an easier guitar for a beginner to start with: a classical guitar, or a steel string? My answer: The classical is "easier" to start with. The softer nylon strings and the wide string spacing make it easier for people to sound better with a poor technique. The strings of a classical are also easier on a beginners finger tips. I say choose the guitar based on the music u like, the guitar you are likely to end up playing the most. Starting with light strings is also good.
How much is a guitar stool that I can use to play my classical guitar?
And what is the little stand that you put on the bottom of the classical guitar so you can play it easily as a beginner.
For some reason a triangle shape of this stand is coming to mind. Let me know what this is. My mom told me about that when she was looking at various guitar lesson vids (especially the classical guitar related ones) but she can't remember the name of the device.
i have a question if u answered i will b so greatful: how i play theses chords on classical guitar Dm,A,C i mean the position and strumming of the right hand not the left.. iam waiting for ur answer plz
