Choosing a guitar for a beginner.

First thing, ask yourself why you want to play guitar?

Who are your favorite guitarists?
What is your favorite kind of music?
What do you day-dream about regarding playing the guitar?

Answer these first, and I'll begin your guitar search for you.

Hey Jesse!

I have always wanted to learn a variety of instruments. I play the violin, but learning guitar and drums has really been more my desire. I simply like the free-flowing sound of an acoustic guitar.

As far as guitarists, I love the sounds of Indigo girls as they strum their guitars. I'm sure there are more that I'm not thinking of at the moment! LOL

I actually like a variety of styles of music but prefer country, folk, and rock n roll.

I don't know that I daydream about playing the guitar. My thoughts are not to play in a band or concerts. Merely to play at family or friend gatherings and for myself. To me, music is intimate and personal.

I wish I could edit my posts!! LOL Here's a few more that I think are closer to the style I'm looking to learn... Love how John Mayer plays, and the acoustics in Blues Traveler, Hootie and the Blowfish, and David Matthews Band.
