Did you ever dream of learning to play the guitar while listening to your favorite band? It doesn't look hard when you are watching them play, but it is a little tricky. Not nearly as tricky as you might think though. With a few quick lessons you'd be amazed at what you could do.

We have all been seduced by learning to play the acoustic guitar at one time or another. If you like music, you most likely had thoughts in your head about whether you could do it or not. Well, I'm here to tell you that you would be surprised how easy it is to learn some basic chords.

What's the difference between Electric and Acoustic?-- Vibration between the strings, soundboard, and body are going to create the sound you hear from an acoustic guitar. The electric guitar is more just stings and electronic amplification to produce your sound.

Can you name all the different types of guitars? -- Like any popular industry, there are many different type/brands, but there are always a few that seem to stand out. Here are a few of those:

The Classical is the Gold Standard -- This is pretty much what people think of when we are taking about acoustic guitars. It has 6 strings: 3 treble strings and 3 bass strings. I recommend getting a basic one of these to get your guitar playing off the ground.

A Spanish Flamenco Guitar -- A very cool sound, but maybe a little advanced when yo are first starting out, Give it a try it you dare, but you may want to learn a few chords on the Classical guitar first.

Steel-String Guitar -- Thinking of accompanying you guitar playing with some Folk singing? Then you will probably want to play a steel-string guitar eventually. It gives you the crisp sound you hear in a lot of Folk music. It's a fun way to play.

12 String -- It has just that: 12 string instead of 6 and produces more a 'chorus' effect than a standard 6-string. It was a favorite of Rock Bands in the 60's and 70's looking for unique sounds.

The Arch-top Guitar from Gibson -- This model was always popular with the Jazz and Blues players. Designed by Gibson, one of the most famous guitar designers of all time.

The Bass Guitar -- Want to be like Paul McCartney in the old Beatles days? Well, you will need to play the bass guitar. The bass has a deeper sound than a classic guitar. You don't have to learn it left-handed like Paul, though.

Banjo Guitar -- A fun like guitar with cool sound and the look and feel of a guitar, but the sound of a banjo. Popular in the 1920's, it is often referred to as Guitjo.

I think the more people to play, the better. It's such a nice sound and it really is relatively easy to learn some basic chords. With a couple of quick lessons, I think you will be amazed at what you will be able to do.
