gurnani Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Hello, I am a layman looking to buy an acoustic to start with. My budget is not really above 5000 THB, though the cheaper for the beginning, the better. Just 2 questions 1. Which guitar do you recommend to start to learn with? 2. Where to buy it? P.S. is 2nd hand/used guitar a good choice for a beginner? Thank you. G Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Robinsons / Central usually have a choice of guitars, Also most shopping malls have an exhibition of guitars once in a while, saw some in Carrefour in Pattaya yesterday for example.

sirineou Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 (edited) I don't know where in Thailand you should buy a Guitar, and what Makes are available,I bring mine from the States.Sorry. This is a good website where I buy all of my equipment in the US,it can give you a good Idea of what is available, and the price ranges. http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/acoustic-guitars Epiphone, Fender, Ibanez , Yamaha, make some good starting guitars. I will give you this advise, I have seen many people start to learn, only to give up because they did not buy the right equipment. I Personally have not payed for close to a year and my fingers are soft, when I picked up a friends cheap guitar, I had problem closing the Chords. IMHO If you buy a cheap guitar, you will either give up, in which case , better invest your money on something else, Or, you will quickly have to replace the cheap guitar with one with better action. So maybe spend a little more an buy a better guitar, also buy soft stings,I know they brake easy, but will be easier on your fingers. Some of the purists dont like TABs. I personalty think it is a good way to learn a few tunes and get excited about the prospects,so here is a good TAB website. http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/top/top100.htm There are many others, do a google search Also many lessons on you tube Good Luck PS here is explanation on TABs http://guitar.about.com/od/tabchordslyrics/ss/read_guitar_tab.htm There are others , Google it.
