I can ask him which pedals and gear are the best for beginners, too. He probably has over 50-some pedals and different amps and little recording studio stuff.
How much?

hey bro, Im gonna have to dissagree with all of this electric love in this thread. For your first guitar, i would have to recommend you get an affordable acoustic.
Reasons:
calises (sp).
building up finger strength,
afordability,
need for ACTUAL skill
better to impress the lady friends with.

first, by playing with an acoustic for many weeks, you will build up calises and get many blisters. these may hurt for a bit, but they will make ur music sound better! when u build up hard skin on ur fingers, it gives a better ammount of pressure on the strings, making better contact with the frets and thus better sound on any guitar! the reason the electric will not do this is because the strings on those are softer.
Electrics for novice players mask horrible technique with general distortion and all those millions of peafdals out there. I have known many players who can rip a nice song out on electric, but when u ask them to play it on an acoustic it sounds like utter shit. this has to do with the finger strength u gain by playing an acoustic. once u gain dexterity , your move to electric heaven will be much quicker and your songs will sound better.
next, acoustics are generall ymore affordable. u should look into a washburn d10 or a nice fender acoustic as a first guitar. also u have no need to buy an amp, cables peadals and all that other shit u think could help you play better. remeber its the player not the instrument.

finally an acoustic is the best way to get some pussy, u can take it anywhere anytime. try it out lol.
p.s. please for the love of god learn to read music and know your scales, its crap that most guitar players dont know how to read music but play guitar on tabs and shit. that is like cheating urself out of being able to play much better than you are at the time.

ive played guitar for about 10 years so no im not a expert, but w/e just my two cents.

Ok, that's cool. I know it's a complete bitch to string, also.

Yeah, a nice amp really makes a huge difference. Both my dad and brother have been playing almost their entire lives, so our house is full of different amps. My dad will never buy anything cheap or not quality, and I can tell the difference when I've heard crappy amps.

Almost all the music composed for films is composed on synthesizer and then orchestrated with a classical orchestra.
Guess what I write music. I write drums, I write bass, I write guitar lines. I even compose scores for horns. my main instrument is Keyboards and I use Logic Audio on the Mac as do almost all the major composers. But wait I guess Hans Zimmer has no soul right? Oh because he composes his scores on synthesizer and then has a orchestra play it.
I am sorry, but unless you have the talent to actually do what you preach, you really have no place to talk in this department, and even then your lost in your conclusion.
Talent and soul are talent and soul. It does not matter what the music is composed on . If the composer has soul the music has soul. Regardless of the medium he choses to use to convey it. Be it 24 track analog studer decks. Pro Tools hard disk system. IZ radar.Adats, Mackie hard disk recorders, Akai Adam digital 8 track decks. Or Logic, Cubase, Nuendo,Cakewalk Sonar.

You know what charlie, you just stepped way out of your league here. You have no idea who I am. I can gurantee you I have worked with guitarists that Rob has worshipped.
I have written music he wishes he could write. You need to step back and just be grateful for what you have and shut the fuck up.

Who here knows of the band Siga Rose (sp???)? The lead singer plays his guitar with a bow, I thought that was pretty interesting. Haven't heard a lot of their songs, tho. So, I can't comment on the sound.

first, by playing with an acoustic .....ive played guitar for about 10 years so no im not a expert, but w/e just my two cents.
OK well again I’ve been playing for 20 years now. I'm not trying to sound like an ass but its going to come off that way...

Calluses - (yes my spelling is correct) can be developed on ANY guitar by getting thicker gauged strings. The acoustics you speak of giving you blisters because you have to "press" harder... that is because you bought a crap-tastic acoustic with horrible action and probably a warped neck. Go play a $3,000 – 6,000 acoustic guitar… you will notice the difference from the cheap hippy 14 fret nasty action acoustic. As much as I love my acoustic guitars, they are the ones where you CANNOT go cheap on, as they are not just a block of wood with electronics in it. They REQUIRE good craftsmanship for good sound.

Finger Strength – again thicker strings and add another tensioner spring.

Affordability – again a crap acoustic will sound like a cardboard box with strings… you need to be at LEAST in the $600-1000 range for an acoustic with decent tone.

Need for Actual skill – Apparently you’ve never head any fusion guitar players. I love how the hippies with their flower music always bring up accuracy and being able to “hide” behind distortion. That simply isn’t true. While some with a completely untrained ear will not notice simple finger misplacements (i.e. not fully depressing the string in the fret, etc.) Electrics are far more sensitive, especially on heavy distortion to ANY movement on the strings; therefore amplifying one’s mistakes and improper muting technique.

Impresses the ladies more – yeah… ok. But use a 12-string and play Stairway like every other chump in the world.

I do however completely agree with the learning to read music. It really will help you when and if you decide to progress with your playing to playing lead or even creating harmonic rhythm sections. It will greatly help you memorize the neck faster.

I’m no expert, I play for myself… I suggest you do the same. But again I suggest electric because you can get a good starter one for cheap, you will be able to make enough different sound types to keep you entertained and let you experiment. Finally if you don’t like it, you can easily sell it off. Where as if you take a cheap Acoustic to someone who actually plays they will say to throw it in the fireplace.

I've never picked up chicks from playing acoustic.

But I have had sex for playing metal.

So i'll stick to playing electric.

Yep, I have played Piano for probably 10 or so years now, and a couple years, decided I was going to play guitar. Not only do I have a really hard time transferring Piano Chord structure to guitar, but the cheap acoustic I had was almost impossible to play smoothly, lol, strings stand 1/4" off the neck in most places, lol. Fuck that.

But yeah a decent martin, fender, or even an Ibanez acoustic is going to be $800. But how many people do you know who start playing and then stop. Simply because they cant make the sound they want, they get bored playing Marry had a little lamb from their Mel Bay music book (Mel Bay music books are probably still the best out there by the way)

yes a good acoustic will sound better then a cheapy electric with a decent beginner amp... but the key point is when they get bored and want to rock out the distortion and jump around and have fun, they cant. There is no "guitar hero" rock star... So they don’t have fun, loose interest and then their nice $800 acoustic sits in its case and rots for years and years.

The kid is young, if he was 30+ and wanted to learn to play, then I would suggest an acoustic. At that age you are more interested in learning and development, not jumping off your bed with an A power chord to a power slide see how fast you can make noise on your electric guitar.

I’m a professional snowboard instructor… so no I don’t teach guitar, but I do teach. The most important thing is to tune your lesson and to tune the gear to the student. I don’t teach my old guys to start jumping right away… I do however start making my younger kids and children start hopping on their boards ASAP… why? Because its fun that’s what they want to do… the older students want me to focus on techniques and theory. That is my underlining point... I love how acoustics sound, and i love the action on a good one... but is a newbie going to be able to tell the difference between crap sound and good sound when they first start? no... i think most wont.

My first guitar was a squire it was cool when I first got it, but when you start playing more your gonna want a better guitar. If I were you i would get a fender strat or a Telecaster. they are two very nice guitars. Acoustics are nice too but they are a lil harder to learn with since they are bigger and the strings are thicker.

I dont live with my parents and I know the value of a dollar. If im going to play I want to learn the right way. Even if that means playing marry hand a little lamb until my fingers bleed.

I will be teaching myself so thanks for the advice on Mel Bay books/videos.

Wow... don’t get pissed because you didn’t understand my rhetoric.

You COMPLETELY missed the entire point I was making. That was an example of different mindsets. I was drawing parallels to each point by using examples from each extreme. No one is arguing over the internet with you, so chill out. Stop, SLOWLY re-read what I have written, THINK, and then retort.

I will give you a simple synopsis of what I said.

Electric = ability to mimic many different tones, acoustic, jazz, blues, rock, metal, etc. <- Because of this, more options therefore more fun. Cheaper starting cost for decent sound. Higher resale value (or easily sold at least) Can mimic all attributes of acoustic.

Acoustic = Great sound and tone, limited to only acoustic sounds and tones. Higher cost for decent entry. Less durable. Easily affected by humidity and temperature. Improper maint and storage will ruin instrument.

I hope that broke it down to a point where your quick reading and immediate assumptions will rationalize that it wasn’t an attack. Now get your panties out of a bunch.

Oh and my last and final tip to you,

Learn your basic chord structure, scales (mainly Pentatonic and Major), picking, and bar chords. Then go take a month or two of lessons from your local music store or musical academy. What you learn from them in 2 month will take you hundreds of dollars in DVDs and a year to do on your own.

yes a good acoustic will sound better then a cheapy electric with a decent beginner amp... but the key point is when they get bored and want to rock out the distortion and jump around and have fun, they cant. There is no "guitar hero" rock star... So they don’t have fun, loose interest and then their nice $800 acoustic sits in its case and rots for years and years.

The kid is young, if he was 30+ and wanted to learn to play, then I would suggest an acoustic. At that age you are more interested in learning and development, not jumping off your bed with an A power chord to a power slide see how fast you can make noise on your electric guitar.

I’m a professional snowboard instructor… so no I don’t teach guitar, but I do teach. The most important thing is to tune your lesson and to tune the gear to the student. I don’t teach my old guys to start jumping right away… I do however start making my younger kids and children start hopping on their boards ASAP… why? Because its fun that’s what they want to do… the older students want me to focus on techniques and theory. That is my underlining point... I love how acoustics sound, and i love the action on a good one... but is a newbie going to be able to tell the difference between crap sound and good sound when they first start? no... i think most wont.
First at no point during my reply was I upset and I am still not upset or angry. Emotion does not show very well over the internet.

Right here in your first post you said that I was a "kid" and because I was not over 30 you assumed that I was not into learning and development. Thus, saying that because Im not old Im more interested in "jumping off my bed with an A power chord to a power slide see how fast I can make noise on my electric guitar". I just replied to tell you that I am serious about playing not air guitaring to MTV's greatest hits. You link teaching someone to snowboard and teaching someone to play the guitar as though they were the same thing, which they are not. In your first post you basicly said that I should get an electric so I could play around with it and not loose interest as though I were a 5 year old kid with a new toy. If that was my goal then the title of this thread would be "Whats the best Electric guitar for your money" not whats the best to begin on.

Thanks for the advice on Electric v. Acoustic, but keep your sarcasm and assumptions to yourself.

Also I dont appreciate you Pm'ing me to tell me Im an ass. You dont know me and this is the first time you have ever replied to my post. I think you are the one who completely missed the point of my reply.

Thank you, -rep for you.

LMAO! Negative rep for me for handling things though PMs instead of on the boards… QQ some more. I didn’t know we went to the beach? Cause where else would you get sand in your clit from?

1. So are you telling me you are old? Because to me 23 is a kid. 30 is where you kinda start shifting a bit. 40ish not so much a kid.

2. So you’ve been playing guitar and teaching anything in general for a long time huh? Yes teaching snowboarding and teaching guitar have many of the same principals. But you know this already, that’s why you are asking for help on a car forum. So tell me, when you are in lecture, if you find the lecture boring, you pay ABSOLUTE attention because you are different then 99% of the people in the world? So if my snowboard lessons were boring, people would still learn and I would always have a captive audience? Yeah well your guitar is that teacher and you are the audience when learning to play, and if it doesn’t captivate you, you lose interest. So again you take something for immediate face value instead of actually trying to think.

And lastly, no I don’t know you and I don’t give a pretty flying fuck about you or who you are or what you stand for or anything. You wanted to know about learning to play and get different view points. Instead of reading and comprehending the basic rhetoric I was using, you fail to connect any form of what I was saying to any part of your situation. Instead you cry here rather then realizing someone was trying to help you; When your retort was loosely connected to any of MY posts… yet I get negative rep when you haven’t even begun to understand ANY parts of my posts.
