We have compiled a Q&A for all your guitar lesson-related questions!
What is a good age to start guitar lessons?
If you are looking for guitar lessons for your children, realize that it is much easier if they are at least 7 years old. It takes a significant amount of strength in the wrists and fingers to push down the strings, which can lead to easy frustrations.
As a beginner, should I learn acoustic or electric guitar?
The acoustic and electric guitar have many similarities. Generally, electric guitars are easier to play. The strings are lighter and easier to press down. Sore fingers, which many novices experience when learning acoustic guitar, are not nearly as severe when learning to play electric guitar. If you decide to start with acoustic, it is best to choose an acoustic guitar with a light gauge or even nylon strings. You should also use a guitar with a low action, which requires less pressure to make the strings touch the fretboard. An acoustic guitar with nylon strings is well suited for classical music and folk music.
Do I need to know how to play acoustic or electric guitar before learning bass guitar?
No. Pick up a bass guitar and dive into your favorite bass lines. Playing in the rhythm section of a band is different than playing lead melodies on the acoustic or electric guitar. Learning to be a bass player can be a very rewarding pursuit and if you are interested you should definitely pursue it.
