What is the best Electric Guitar to buy?
I have an SX Vintage Series Electric Guitar and have been happy with it but am thinking of buying a new one. I am, however, a little confused as to what type of guitar to buy as there are all types of guitars out there for me. My price range is generally EUR400-500.
And for anyone in Ireland or better yet Dublin who reads this, do you know of any good guitar stores in Tallaght or even in Dublin?

This is a link to your price range. You’ll find plenty to choose from. I OWN a Jackson Dinky…GREAT guitar…nice feeling neck, hot sounding pickups, floating tremolo for incredible vibes, locking strings, and built with high quality. I also own an american fender strat which you see Fender here too. You cant get a real Gibson SG for this price range, but I like the one posters idea of getting and Epiphone, and just having Gibson pickups installed. I don’t personally recommend buying used UNLESS you absolutely know what your looking for. Do you know how to look down the neck to know it isn’t warped? (for if it is it is WORTHLESS!) Do you know if the pickups are any good? Or just the basic value? For I had a friend one time trade and acoustic TAYLOR guitar in for a DEAN (YUK!!!) EVEN! I hate the local music store that did that and have told this story to all musicians in my area since (for last 9 years…I hope it hurt them!) SO…be careful, for newbies or inexperience can get ripped off VERY easily. Always price compare at any of the main internet stores…ie: www.musicansfriend.com www.music123.com www.zzounds.com www.americanmusicsupply.com etc. Good luck!
What is a good acoustic guitar for beginners?
I want to learn how to play the guitar and am looking into buying one. Any suggestions on a decent, but lower priced (for a college student’s budget) acoustic? I don’t need anything fancy, just something nice to start off with.
I suggest just going to a music/guitar store and get a feel for the guitars, hold them, sit down with it and see which feels the most comfortable and if it makes the sound you are looking for. If you are looking to become serious, dont be afraid to spend a little more on a better quality, because you’ll be kicking yourself in the butt thinking "If I had just spent a little more money, I could have gotten something so much better"
Good luck
How do I play the guitar, and how to read Guitar music?
It would be nice if you guys and girls could give me some websites with Guitar Lessons and all kinds of other cool guitar stuff. I’ll give 25 extra points to the best answer.
Top tab sites are www.911tabs.com and www.ultimateguitar.com
www.freeandeasyguitar.com is a good site that has video tutorials and is very beginner friendly.
ps, like anything the more you invest and observe the more it will reward. My advice strum around your basic g,d,c,f,a,e,em,am,dm, chords while beginning. Those chords i listed above are just about in any song you come across. A real popular chord progression is G,D,Em,C ask any guitar player they’ve played that sequence a share to many. Good luck man, and welcome to the family
How much do guitar lessons usually cost?
i really love music so much and i have always wanted to learn how to play the guitar. are Guitar Lessons expensive?
you know I tell this like I tell everyone wanting or learning How To Play Guitar. 1st thing is 1st, if you really want to kick some butt, buy something cheap, but not really cheap.. I’m not sure what music you play, but 1st thing is 1st, the amp. get a tbx15r. it’s a 15 watt amp and it kicks butt, it’s not expensive, and it sounds awesome. I have the tbx150r, and the all sound the same, mine was just like $400 lol.. anyways going on. Next the guitar. I would get a epiphone because those guitars are very universal with any style type of music, pop, pop punk, punk, rock, metal, country so on. this is just electric I’m only assuming on what you’re playing, also get a strap, picks, and a couple of cords.
now here comes the is where the lesson stuff comes in. get guitarpro from guitarpro.com if you look around on the internet you might find it for free, not sure if you have to pay for it. get that because you’ll learn anything you need to learn, and it’s all tabs easy to read/learn. you can get tabs for your favorite songs, and for your scales you’re going to need to learn. if you have any questions IM me on yahoo, or aim and I will help you to the best of my knowledge with guitar, i’ve been playing for 11 years now so it shouldn’t be to hard.
