    I was left some money in my mums will so decided to enjoy a bit of it. I went to the Anderson guitar gallery last Monday and had a fantastic few hours with Paul guiding me through lots of different and wonderful guitars. A fantastic experience and one that I was a little apprehensive about! I have been playing for a long time but haven't bought a new guitar for a very long time and certainly nothing expensive! Treated myself to a Martin J40 and absolutely over the moon with it! Thanks andertons

    I wish these types of videos were around 30 odd years ago when I started out. Have to say Ben youre getting pretty good at this youtube video thing, great work guys.

      Or 20 years ago. Or people in stores that are knowledgeable and that care about your needs as opposed to trying to sell as much as they can.

    Make sure it has a low-action. Every guitar manufacturer claims their guitar has this but it's seldom true. For a beginner guitarist it is very important. A high action makes finger shifting and holding notes hard, with big chances to stuff up.

    Great video and packed with so much information for us newbies. Your explanations and break down on what to look for was very educational.
    Big help in my pursuit of an acoustic guitar.
    Thank You. 😊

    My advice would be to go to a pawn shop and buy the cheapest guitar you can find in a decent condition. Then if you find you keep playing and want a better guitar, you're going to be in a much better position to decide on the long-term purchase.

    Wonderful, informative video. One thing I would add for the first time buyers, if you do go for an acoustic/electric with a pickup: many times simply having a chord plugged in to the guitar will activate the pre-amp and draw power from the battery. Don’t ask me how I know or how many batteries I’ve been through. Just get in the habit of unplugging after playing.
    Couldn’t agree more with comfort while playing being priority number one.

    I would like a guitar that doesn't sound very loud, not to play in concerts or in front of everyone, just for myself, I live in an apartment by myself, cannot make much noise, I want to get home, play some melodies on it, not rhythmic sounds, just letting my feelings flow however I feel, making some beautiful sounds from it, relax while I play my guitar in my living room, on my bed, like an intimate companion to pour my heart into it.

    Hey guys, love watching you here in Australia! Any chance you could do a comparison video between Gibson Flying V Antique Natural and the Epiphone Korina 1958 (2023 models)??

  • @DIDCHOI
    @DIDCHOI 11 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Would love to see a video where you compare how acoustics react to posture!
    Slugged over sitting down and having a lot of your body making contact with the guitar vs standing up straight vs standing up with a strap.
    How much resonance is affected by the body?

    "everyone ends up with a massive guitar collection" - that's not true! I also have a bunch of basses, drumsets, cymbals, amps, and pedals... 😂😂😂😂🤘🤘🤘

    I haven’t decided to be an acoustic guitar necessarily because electric and bass also sound awesome and I don’t know what I would want to try first in a guitar store.

    Paid $729 for a jumbo Gretche rancher falcon acoustic/electric guitar with Fishman Electronics back in 2020 and it sounds and plays just as well as any Martin acoustic

    @bensmithguitar I just ordered the Vintage 'Fret Dancer' Electro acoustic because of your video on it :-) now I just need to learn.... everything. So I can do finger picking similar to you :-)

  • @Manisharyal-fu4eq
    @Manisharyal-fu4eq 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    well if you are a beginner to learn choose a guitar with wide neck. It doesn't matter if it's a classical guitar with nylon 3 strings or acoustic with all metal strings. Never choose a guitar with narrow neck,narrow neck have narrow space and narrow space to feel the string, so as a beginner, you know what I mean. Here body doesn't matter because you are not going to marry your guitar.

    I wish Anderson’s (or any guitar company) offered more arch top acoustic options. I think it’s a big missing piece of guitar history that most stores don’t offer

    If you had no budget what guitar would you buy?

    • @stoneysdead689
      @stoneysdead689 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Hmm- see that's kind of a hard question to answer. When I first read it, I started thinking "O.k. what do I not have that I want?" But then it hit me- this is a onetime purchase, no budget type deal so- it shouldn't be based on what you have or don't but instead be whatever your dream guitar is- whether you need another electric or not. So, if I look at it like that- probably a custom shop Strat. But- if I look at it like what do I not have that I would want- a Les Paul. I already have a good Strat.
      Or maybe you meant acoustic- in that case- a Martin D28- without a doubt. That said- the Cordoba C10 gut string is an amazing guitar I would love to have as well. I just don't play classical or jazz much anymore- but if I still did, the Cordoba would be it for sure.
