Playing guitar, like everything else, takes time and dedication to master. Once you do, it can be one of the most rewarding things you have done in your life. You may have had to spend countless hours practicing away, with your fingers on the edge of going numb but like any visa comercial would say, playing in front of a crowd and getting their admiration, is priceless.

Choosing the right guitar for you is something you must not take lightly. If you're getting started, this can be the difference between becoming a master or just playing for a couple of weeks and leave it on the side.

There are a few things you want to consider, things like the quality of the wood, the bridge of the guitar, and what type of music you like. I say what type of music you like because this is what ultimately decides what guitar are you going for. First of all, there's the sound quality, which in general terms sums up in two types of guitar: electric and acoustic.

If you like rock and you're interested in playing with more of an upbeat, high paced, louder rithm, then an electrical guitar is a better fit for you. If you want more of a classic vibe, a more mellow organic feel on your playing then you should get a classical guitar.

If you're a beginner, than I would suggest working your way from a classical guitar. You can find them at a better price and you can play them anywhere, which is something you definetly want to consider.

If, on the other hand, you have more free time on your hands and you want to make some serious noise, then getting an electrical guitar is more fit for you. Keep in mind, that unless you are already good and can keep up with a tune by yourself, it can become irritating really fast when you're playing nothing but noise for a couple of hours.

In general, what you want is something that strikes the balance between what you want with what you need with your current skillset. Be sure to match up the style of your music, the type and quality of your guitar and the location you will play it in (if electric you will need power supply all the time).

After you make your choice, make sure you keep developing your skillset, and you'll be thankful you did.
