Which Electric Guitar Should I Get My Boyfriend

My boyfriend wants to teach me guitar ?

So i really want to learn guitar, and my boyfriend said he wanted to teach me. The problem is I'm scared he'll think I'm crap. I know its the whole point of teaching, but he is really impatient, he has a really bad temper, and he is really strict about guitar. Playing is really his passion. And i told him i wasn't good at guitar, he told me he want to teach me, but he gets really annoyed when someone even SAY anything wrong about guitar. I'm just scared he'll think i don't understand anything... But if i tell him no he'l be sad. What should i do ?

Should i get an acoustic or electric guitar??

I vote that you begin with an acoustic guitar. It builds strength in your fingers and tests your motivation to play until the calluses come. There is a strong sense of determination and drive that must be present for the beginner if he or she wants to learn to play the guitar. An acoustic guitar can provide that impetus.

Furthermore, acoustics can be taken anywhere to play. Electric guitars must have an amplifier, patch cords, and an electrical outlet. They may be easier to play at the onset, but they can also be a hindrance to strong habits to build.

Get an acoustic, learn as many chords and their progressions, and after two years you can make a better decision whether or not to buy an electric guitar.

Trying to buy my boyfriend an electric guitar for Christmas...?

If he already has an electric guitar, perhaps buying him an amplifier would be a better idea.

I'll explain: For a guitar player, how a guitar FEELS is incredibly important to whether or not we will like it. There is no possible way you can know if he will like the feel of any guitar you buy him.

If you've ever gone to a music store with him when he's shopping for a new guitar, I'm sure you noticed that it took him FOREVER to pick one out. He probably sat there and played every single one within his price range, right? He was looking for the one that felt the best to him.

You can get a much better amp for $200 than a guitar.

Look into something like this: http://www.guitarcenter.com/Fender-Musta...

It's more than the budget you gave, but it has a few things going for it that make it worth the price.

1) It's 100 watts, which means it will be loud enough to be heard over a drummer.

2) It's a modeling amp, which means it mimics the sound of some of the classic amps that have been used for decades (amps which would cost thousands of dollars each to get the real thing).

3) It has a USB connection, which means he could record to a computer-based recording program directly from the amp.

The only way you should buy a guitar for a guitar player is if 1) You know EXACTLY what guitar he wants already, 2) You are an experienced guitarist yourself and know what kind of guitars they prefer, or 3) They know you are buying them one and go with you to pick it out themselves.

If your boyfriend is a nice guy he will accept any gift you give him graciously, but you're safer getting him a new amplifier than a new guitar.

My boyfriend plays guitar when i'm speaking to him?

I agree with the guy above me... just let him play, what is it with women? When you are enjoying your hobby (assuming you even have one) do you give him your undevided attention? I doubt it. You realize that most girls would love to have a boyfriend that plays guitar. You and your sex should really consider not bitching so much....i

Duet songs with an acoustic and electric guitar?

My boyfriend and I have been wanting to do a duet song with each other for the longest time but we can't seem to find a good song to play. I play an acoustic and he plays the electric guitar and we haven't been able to find a good song that incorporates both.

I've googled this extensively and all I've found is "Seize the Day", "Hotel California", and "Crazy on You"

None of these songs really interest us, so I was wondering if anyone had anything else in mind? I listen to all genres so all inputs are appreciated :]

I'm thinking of buying my first electric guitar, but I'm not very knowledgeable. What are some budget-versatile guitars to start with?

Personally, I am a Gibson man. But Gibsons are not budget minded, as a rule, so I would lean towards a quality Epiphone. Epiphone was originally founded in 1873, and makes very good quality Gibson clones today- although there are levels of Epis, the bottom feeder $100 guitars that come with a gig bag and a 15w amp and cables are…well, $100 guitars.But if you wander down to Guitar Center and try ’em out, you can find some very nice $300 to $400 Epiphones that play and feel fantastic- have GC do a setup on it when you buy it, and you will be very happy. I have an Epi Les Paul that I bought about 35 years ago that is still one of my favorite guitars. Over the years I have replaced the neck with a flatter radius and upgraded pots and tuners and pickups, but it played beautifully since the day I picked it up. I taught myself (with the occasional help of a professional) to be a luthier, using Epis- surely do not want to risk ruining a 1963 SG until I had my skills down! Now I do all of my own setups and hardware changes and mods, and I learned working on Epiphones, Brownsvilles, and Squiers.Another advantage I like is that I can take an Epi and upgrade it- seymour duncan pickups, better pots and tuners and switches, new neck if needed or wanted, etc, and I can put together a guitar that plays every bit as well as some of my 7 or 8 thousand dollar guitars, yet I can drag it to a buddy’s party and jam on it all night and not worry so much about it getting scratched or damaged- if anything does happen, I can either fix it or pick up another Epi and move the hardware over. Plus, people are less likely to try to steal an Epi than a Gibson or a PRS, so your high end components are safer tucked into the Epi body.I don’t think you can go wrong with a G-400 SG, for instance- currently on musician’s friend for $359.00 Free shipping, no tax, usually- depending on where you live- and a great warranty.Musical Instruments StoreHappy Shredding, brother!
