What is Acoustic guitar? is it a good option for a beginner?

Hi, Urvashi. You seem like a big-hearted adult, with I hope lots of friends. I assume you do not yet play a guitar, and this would be your first. What you need is one, or one recommended by one, who plays guitar well, who can help you find a decent used guitar. Most here will recommend against getting a used instrument, for perfectly good reasons; Big Al & I are OK with it. Also note that "acoustic guitar" includes both nylon-stringed "classical" guitars, and steel-stringed guitars; they're rather different, and many will choose the latter.

Then, it's looking at stuff offered privately (like Craigslist), in a pawn shop (where you offer like 2/3 of the asking price if you find a decent one), or better, in a good music store. Walk away from any you see that are like missing a string...The thing should be ready to play, then played, and checked for at least decent playability, "intonation", and ability to hold it's tuning. That's where the experienced friend counts.

Brand names can be of some help. Yamaha, for example is quite worth a look, while Fender is usually not. Cutting to the chase, you may have a hard time finding a used Yamaha, because, like people who own Toyota, Honda, or Subaru cars, people tend to keep them, or are able to sell them quickly. So it can take a few months of patient searching, then moving quickly.

The off-brands sitting around with super-cheap prices are more often junk. I'd expect to see asking prices of maybe $100+ for something worth having.

The really big deal: that's already half-way to the price of a new one (about $200). Don't know about you, but I'll spend a hundred dollars by the end of the month on fast-food and "refreshments". I'd "brown-bag" it, save the money, go new, and later with your own experience, then go 'used the next time... Really sweet getting one that sold new for $500 at $200.

PS: Get some lessons.

An acoustic guitar is a guitar that uses only acoustic means to transmit the strings' vibrational energy to the air in order to make a sound. Acoustic means not electric or using electric impulses (see Electric guitar). The sound waves of an acoustic guitar are directed through the body of the guitar creating a sound. This typically involves the use of a sound board and a sound box to strengthen the vibrations of the strings.

The main source of sound in an acoustic guitar is the string, which is plucked with the finger or with a plectrum. The string vibrates at a necessary frequency and also create many harmonics at various different frequencies. The frequencies produced can depend on string length, mass, and tension. The string causes the soundboard and sound box to vibrate, and as these have their own resonances at certain frequencies, they amplify some string harmonics more strongly than others, hence affecting the timbre produced by the instrument.

Yes for beginner Acoustic Guitar is best. I have one and want to sale that is in India.

I think an acoustic guitar is best for a beginner. you can take it wherever you want without the hassle of an amplifier. its also cheaper because you don't need to buy an amplifier or an acoustic guitar with a pick up installed. all you need is a plain acoustic guitar. its up to you what body shape you choose, dreadnought are the most popular but others like jumbos and smaller bodied guitars. if you can't afford a new guitar, im guessing you can't afford lessons either so you're going to end up with a poor quality guitar and no one to teach you properly. I could point you in the right direction to getting a good brand of guitar but you'd need someone with experience to check them out to make sure they're not selling you anything with problems.neck issues like bowing or warping, bad fret wear that causes buzzing or intonation, cracks, bellying behind the bridge are what I look for. if you don't have anyone to go with you, your best bet is to buy new. some cheap acoustics worth buying

If you simply begin to enjoy the guitar you then require the most effective classes in the marketplace to learn how to perform this difficult instrument and the most effective is Jamorama website, here https://tr.im/ypRQw .

If you are going to learn the guitar for initially (Or perhaps you tried before and just could not get the "hang" of it), then Jamorama is the right course for you because every lesson features a video to accompany the rules, and once you've removed through a week of classes, you can acquire and print an exercise sheet related to those lessons.

The video lessons demonstrate how exactly to enjoy chords – the fundamentals of playing guitar. You'll learn to play significant, minor, 7th, and blank chords. If that you do not know very well what some of that means, do not allow it to frighten you. It's all described in detail in the videos.

The best thing about this really is once you obtain these fundamentals down, the names and the technicality just move to the backdrop and you never obviously have to consider it a lot more – you can just perform!

When I learned guitar I learned on a terrible piece of crap acoustic with out taking lessons. I'd say if you want to learn youll do it on anytbing you can get youe hands on. If your into metal or rock id say go for an electric but, acoustics are great too to learn its usually all preference. If you want one cheap go to a pawn shop and you can get both for extremely cheap, and electric is usually cheaper to play but an acoustic is ussually cheaper try the out in store and see which you can push down the strings easier on.

I was advised by professional guitarists to go with a Hertz and I did so. A new one will set you back by some six grands.

depends on the genre of music you play and your technique styles

New one is always good.Wait and purchase a new one..
