Playing different guitars in a music shop is a great way of familiarising yourself with each model’s unique qualities but don’t forget to take off any objects that could scratch the guitar. A music salesman will let you try as many guitars as you like but may not be too happy about the little scratch your coat button left. Your choice of guitar will usually be based on the type of music you wish to play and the aesthetic appeal of the color and design.

You can definitely learn on an electric guitar, but overall, acoustic guitar wins out every time. It’s easier to sound good, easier to play and it’s easier to learn. Overall, it’s a simpler experience. The best beginner guitar is a steel-stringed acoustic guitar.
