This is the most in depth and professional guitar buying guide I’ve seen!
Ikr! I’m a noob. I really found this video helpful on all sorts of levels!
Good information
Well, not a word about the sizes (width/thickness) of the neck. Very important because people's hands are different sizes.
So which guitar do I buy for the first time ever playing
Agreed.
I have a 13 year old Granddaughter who wants to learn, she sings beautifully so imagine my happiness when she just told me she wants to learn guitar! This is a very well done video that explains things so even someone who knows nothing about a guitar can learn! Thank you! You do seem to love your art!
What guitar did you get your granddaughter ?
I'm not even buying any guitar but I definitely enjoyed watching every minute of this intro.
Looking to start lessons and scratch a long held itch to learn the guitar, this is a brilliant explanation and aimed at the total beginner like myself. Great content with basic language, no jargon and no sales pitch. The presenter sounds like a true lover of the instrument, and not a salesman. Top stuff 👌
When I bought my first acoustic the sales guy said to get one with good action. Meaning how high the strings are off the fretboard. If the setup is bad it can be hard to learn on and get discouraged and stop playing. Also not knowing how to play can intimidate some people when buying their first acoustic. Ask the salespeople what they would buy and ask them to play the guitar so you could hear how it sounds. 26 years playing myself and I thought the $500-700 Martins sounded awesome and play so smooth. My friend has a $1200 Taylor and my hand was cramping after a minute of playing it. So the $$ does not always mean much. And to those who want to pick up a guitar. It is possible to play anything you want. Just keep playing. Rip off all you can and then make it your own..
I wouldn't ask a salesman....they all have their biases....pick a customer in the store who plays well and get him/her to demo for you.
I bought a cheap guitar, now suffering because it has terrible action
I'm speechless. I have always liked electric but watching this was so damn interesting I'm going to buy an acoustic and relearn everything on that
People say you should learn on an acoustic first, ( which I didn't) but I was afraid of the care it took for my goofy climate here in Maine. Settling finally with the Taylor 214ce. It's supposed to be a nice acoustic within my price range and it's a lefty which are almost impossible to find with different manufacturers. You hear me Yamaha? I was looking into them until I found they had just 4 lame options. Martin had the 000 series, but months to deliver and no returns if I don't like it.
Most comprehensive video on acoustic guitars I have seen so far. Good job.
Going out today to buy my first guitar. Really glad i watched your video to give me some idea of what i want. I will definitely be having nylon strings. Thanks for a very good video and advice.
So how is it going?
Planning on buying my first guitar too but still thinking about it.
@@emilemontiere6128 Thanks for the advice, I really appreciate it.
How is it going?
@@zombieboah3152 Ok thanks for an oldie. Slow steady progress. Thanks for your interest.
@@emilemontiere6128 how’s it going rn ?
Very good job of covering all the various aspects to consider. You really can’t go wrong getting any of these guitars and it is only after you have one and have played it over time that you will have a better idea of the type you would prefer.
I love this so much. Smiled through the entire thing. So excited to get my first guitar
This was a great video...thinking of buying my first guitar and learning how to play and you helped a lot thank you🙏🏽💕
Excellent. No waffle and straight to the point. Thanks.
Too bad you are not top result, when you should be . Good video editing skills, good hd sound, nice mellow presentation without the typical youtuber bullshit. Great job, you earned a sub.
Great quality video: well done, informative and to the point. Thanks.
Great information. Very talented salesperson. Thank you, it’s very helpful.
Thank you so much! I'm stoked to get my first guitar. It seems a little less daunting now!
Thank you..You get right to the point and Very informative!!
Love this choice tutorial! Very informative and interesting. I'm going to rewatch now, but this time take notes. Thank you for providing such essential & important information!
Thank you for a great presentation, one of my children was very curious about a friends guitar at our last o ernight in a cottage and I was always curious myself. This helped tremendously with how to go about choosing one we could both learn on.
Very in depth! I appreciate it 😁
Awesome video, whish we had that amount of guitars to test/try where I live (Cheers from Argentina!).
About 25 years ago I bought my first classical guitar over guitar center, it was (is) a basic Fender CG-11e, it was the happiest day of my life I think. I still have that one and I love it.
But I didn't got anywhere closer to this kind of explanation and help back then.
Thank you so much!! It was really helpful and thorough description.
Massive help. Clear, concise, knowledgeable. Cheers.
This was a great preview of buying a guitar. It helped to broaden my selection process as far as the kind of sound and tones I resonate with as well as all the options to choose from. I'll review it again before I'm ready to buy. Much appreciated!
I’ve been playing guitar for a while, but have been playing on a crappy hand-me-down acoustic that doesn’t really sound good, so this was very helpful for getting a new one
I had absolutely no idea what I was looking for or know about guitars but this video really gave me everything to look for and what to buy! Thanks mate you’re a legend ! Best video on explaining everything
Thank you for a great insight , its really helped me. Im looking for a guitar just now. Excellent advice much appreciated.

Been playing guitar for 25 years now. I’m 36. In and out of bands. Solo stuff as well. Had a lot of good guitars and crappy ones but never a really great acoustic. Well, my fiancé just informed me she’s taking me tomorrow and buying me the Taylor 214ce I’ve been wanting forever. I’m so stoked I could cry. Godspeed
Thank you so much for making this video!
At first I didn’t know what I was doing then I saw your video now I got no problems I will soon get my first guitar thanks

45 years old and I just bought my first guitar and bass (both Ibanez and both electric/acoustic).I can only pick out a couple of memorable parts from a few songs, probably not correctly, but it sounds close. Gotta start somewhere.😁
Thanks for an awesome buyers guide video.
Probably the best advice anywhere about selecting a first guitar
