FAQ About Acoustic Guitar Lessons

By Tommy Beltrani

I have been teaching guitar for almost two decades and it's quite interesting to notice that beginner students have often the same questions. I hope this column will help some of you to understand some core strategies when you learn to play guitar. People often ask me about electric versus acoustic guitar lessons and I always advice starting with acoustic first. I have my good reasons for that:

Acoustic guitars are loud enough and you don't need any amplifier or pedals you would normally need if you play electric. That can save you quite a bit of money you could invest in online video tutorials or even a better instrument.

When you play acoustic guitar you don't need to worry about the many electric guitar techniques that might just be a huge distraction when you are starting out. You can focus on the basic techniques like chord changes, strumming and fingerpicking.

Strumming songs sounds better on acoustic guitar and it will definitely motivate you to practice more.

You can take your acoustic guitar everywhere you like without having to worry about amplification. That is very cool if you want to play at a school camp or friends home and don't want to worry about carrying around extra stuff.

Starting on an acoustic guitar will strengthen your hands because the stings are a bit harder to press than on an electric guitar. This is a great way to lay down a good foundation.

Another very common question is: "Should I buy a steel string or a nylon string?". Personally I believe it's all about the sound and style of music you are after. It would be nice to actually have them both but if it's not possible go for a nylon string guitar if you like spanish or classical music or you just want a more round sound. While if you play contemporary styles like blues, country, rock and fingerstyle then buy a steel string.

After you have been playing for a while and are comfortable playing song you can start considering getting yourself an electric guitar.

Playing a musical instrument is a very enjoyable activity and the effort you put in will soon pay off. Therefore keep on practicing as practice make perfect and at all times have fun in the process. - 18758

Proper care should also extend to your precious compact discs or CDs. Since this is where you store important files, both for personal and office use, it is a must that you must be conscious in making them last a lifetime. Even when you are old and have cataract already, you would still appreciate the fact that you have something nice to look back on. Your grandparents will definitely be grateful that you have taken the effort to preserve your memories in a small piece of semi-metallic thing.

The next few paragraphs will explain in detail the essential ways you can make your compact disc last longer. Read them carefully so that you can follow them to the letter and reap the benefits without much effort.

The first tip requires that you be should be very careful in handling the disc. As much as possible, keep your filthy fingers off the shiny part or else you will damage the encoded information. You have done the unthinkable if you can see prints all over the surface. So, this means that you have to learn how to hold the edges only.

Another essential point to remember is to lay down the CD in a shiny side up position. Keep it in a slim protective sleeve before and after using it. Also take extra precaution not to bend the CD because if you do, you might lose all the data that you have stored in it.

Second, a clean and soft cloth that is made of 100% cotton is ideal to keep the compact disk in a sparkling condition. This is because cotton does not allow any stray material to stick on the surface. It can easily remove spots and light dust that has settled on the shiny part of the CD. Furthermore, fingerprints will be effortlessly eliminated. Keep in mind to clean from the center outwards so as to avoid damaging the surface of the disc.

Now, if you are bothered by minute particles like a hair strand or eyelash, simply blow on the annoying material in a gentle manner. Avoid huffing and puffing like a wolf or else your saliva will be all over the shiny part of the CD like raindrops on a football field.

Third, as much as possible, store your commercial CDs in their original cases. Keep them upright all the time. For the non-commercial discs, cover them with cloth-like cover or regular plastic jewel cases available in various music bars. If you want to mail a CD through the postal system, use a padded envelope or bubble wrapper to ensure that it won't bend or break while being transported from point A to point B. - 18758
