Learning To Play The Guitar

I’m learning to play guitar, and have a question……….?

Question-
What’s the best type of guitar, like brand or design, or make of guitar to buy for a beginner? ? ? ?

In my opinion the Yamaha acoustic electric cutaway is great for beginners, it sound great with or without the electric. You can try these at the Guitar Center. Try them all, they all sound a little different and feel a little different, and may feel different in your hands, some have an easy action and some don’t. ( that’s the way the strings come up off the fret board, some are higher than others, the higher the harder. You’ll be amazed at the sound of this guitar, I know I was, I play classical guitar, and decided to by an acoustic also, I played quite a few of them and was impressed by the sound of this great little Yamaha, There’s a girl playing one on youtube, she has a black guitar and is sitting on the floor playing Green Days, Boulevard of dreams. Go on youtube and type in that song and scroll through until you see her, like I said her guitar is black and she’s about fourteen – sixteen, and she’s singing solo. Well this guitar looks like that and sounds just as good as that one does, and for a beginner that ain’t bad, good luck to you. P.S. This guitar was $250.00 and about $60.00 cheaper when it’s on sale, I know a student of mine bought one.
