Choosing the Right Electric Guitar

Choosing the Right Electric Guitar

Have you ever looked up at that “wall of guitars” at the local music store and wondered which guitar was right for you?  Picking out a new instrument is exciting but also a bit intimidating when choosing between different types of guitars, body shapes, pickups, and a host of other important factors. 

This lesson covers some practical tips, from a player’s perspective, on choosing the right guitar for you. You and your guitar are in for a long-term relationship.  Somewhere on that “wall of guitars” may be “your” guitar.  It’s your job to find it.
