Is an acoustic guitar under $100 good enough for a self learned beginner?
While it's certainly possible to find a suitable sub-$100 acoustic to start with, I'd advise against it––unless you know someone super knowledgeable to take along with you when you buy.Buying used will generally get you a nicer guitar for less money. (Again, the caveat being that you'll need someone knowledgeable with you to steer you clear of the clunkers.)Buying from an online shop like Sweetwater or Elderly (instead of Musician's Friend or Guitar Center, etc) will get you a better set up instrument. That's like being given $75 for free.Seagulls are the slam-dunk winner in the bang-for-the-buck department. New ones start at $300, but you can probably find a used one for half that, and it'll be at least three times nicer than a $100 acoustic.Good luck!
Has anyone heard of a guitar company called Vista?
Vista designated a line of guitars made by the Fender Musical Instruments Corporation. Fender acquired a U.S. guitar string manufacturer, called the V.C. Squier Company, in 1965; by 1982 the Squier name had resurfaced as a low-cost “value brand” alternative initially manufactured and distributed in the Japanese domestic market and soon offered to Europe, North America and the rest of the world. The Squier lineup was augmented in 1996 with Affinity and Pro Tone/Vista series guitars and basses. ... Some Vista models, such as the Super-Sonic, Venus and Venus XII, were innovative designs with no clear Fender predecessors; others combined Fender features from different models into all-new creations such as the Jagmaster, which remains a solid Squier performer to this day.

I’m looking to learn to play guitar. Which guitar should I buy first and how much should I roughly pay?
Electric is easier to play. Acoustic is better I think if you really want to play well. I prefer steel string. Buy a decent guitar.A pretty decent Fender made in Mexico goes for under $700. You could get one cheaper, a Fender-like guitar, but I don’t recommend a cheap, $199 Squier. You will sell it as soon as you get half-way decent. So I say a Fender for an electric. It is just a good starting point. The Les Paul knock-offs are heavy. Go for light-weight and decent. Start will a cheap used amp, or splurge if you think you will stick with it and get a good, solid-state amp. $400 or $500. There are amps that will do everything but kiss your girlfriend. They are hard to tune in to your style. Go for something you understand.An acoustic guitar is a whole different area. Go for solid-top at least. Expect to spend at least $400 or $500. Taylors are nice and about that range. They are fun to play. If you start in all solid-wood, you are talking $1,200 to $6,000 or more.Here’s the thing. You will get a better guitar if you like it. No doubt. But a $3,000 Martin frankly will be wasted on you. If you decide to sell it, you will lose some $$.Here’s what to do. Go into the guitar store. Local dealers—not Guitar Center are better. Sit down and check out the guitars. Play. If you know two chords, no problem. Check the guitars out. You will find one you love, whether acoustic or electric.I still recommend starting with a solid-body guitar for electric. For acoustic, make sure you can play it, make chords, fake barre chords if you don’t know them. Check the action of the guitar. A guy at the local guitar store can help you check it out. You might decide on a used guitar. They are great deals unless you get into true vintage stuff. Go for sound and ease of play.Hope this helps. I have but two guitars in my “collection” at present. A Mexican Strat and a really nice Taylor I bought used. I’m pretty sure you will get other answers here. Guys who play better than I do.
What should I choose between guitar & gym?
I would like to know, first, why is it that you need to choose between one of those things.Is it that you don’t have enough free time? Is it that you don’t have enough money? If your problem is money, then I assure you that you don’t need much money to do either of the two.If you want to work out, you can do it at home no problem with bodyweight exercises, like I do, which require virtually no equipment (I only have a pull-up bar and a ball, and that’s it). Bottom line is you don’t really need to go to the gym to be fit.If y ou want to play guitar, you’ll have to get a guitar first, of course, to which I recommend you try to borrow one first from a friend or family member. If you can’t borrow one, then you’ll have to buy yourself a guitar, to which I recommend you spend around $100 and $150 for your first instrument.I have more information on how to choose your first guitar on my blog post here.However, if you are having trouble with the time needed to practice, or working out, you should check out my free eBook here, which will help you practice effectively and save hours a week.Hope it helps!
My PS3 Rock Band Guitar won't turn on! Best answer to whoever is answers first.?
I have had Rock Band on PS3 since Christmas and about two weeks ago, my guitar stopped working. I tryed new batteries. It still wouldn't turn on. I tried restarting. It still wouldn't turn on. But, the red light on the guitar would come on for like 3 seconds, and then turn off. So, I just got my new warranty guitar, and I'm having the same problem! Any suggestions?
