What is Acoustic Guitar?Historical and modern acoustic guitars are varied in their design and construction. Some of the most important varieties are the classical guitar (nylon-stringed), Steel-string acoustic guitar and lap steel guitar.All guitars produce sound through the mechanical vibration of strings. Acoustic guitars transmit the vibration of the string to the soundboard via the saddle and bridge. The combined resonance of the strings, saddle, bridge and soundboard are, in turn, "amplified" in the soundbox or body of the guitar. The soundboard has a larger surface area and thus displaces a larger volume of air, producing a much louder sound than the strings alone. The design and quality of the strings, saddle, bridge and soundboard have a major impact on the sound. One weak link in

By Kathy Unruh There seems to be a misconception floating around that starting your first lessons with an electric guitar is somehow more difficult than starting with an acoustic guitar. The opposite is actually more true.The neck of an electric guitar is longer and thinner than an acoustic guitar. The action (space between string and top of fretboard) is generally lower on an electric guitar also. As a result, less strength is required to push the strings down onto the fretboard, thus making it easier to play.The classical guitar would be next in line as far as ease of playing is concerned. This is because it has nylon strings which are more flexible than the wound steel strings of a dreadnaught acoustic guitar. The challenge with classical guitar, especially for those who have small hands, is playing a wider neck.So, when rating guitars from 1. being the easiest to play, and 3. being the most difficult, my opinion is:1. electric2. classical3. acoustic steel string (dreadnaught)Now, w

So you're searching for the best martin acoustic guitar. This one catches your eye. Then you read the price tag, $150,000.00. This guitar has to be specially ordered from Guitar Center, so you'd probably actually just see a poster of it in store. What makes the C.F. Martin History of Flight so special? No matter what it is, it can't be the cost of selling-my-organs-on-the-blackmarket special. Only one made. Master Larry Robinson crafted the 18 pearl inlays. The acoustic has an Adirondack Spruce top. The rest is made with Brazilian Rosewood. If you're the one with the cahones to buy the History of Flight, you get a personal tour through the Martin & Co. guitar maker buildings in Nazareth, Pennsylvania. Could it be the best Martin acoustic guitar? Obviously no one's played it, so possibly, but maybe it's more of a collector's item for people like Keifer Sutherland.

Acoustic Guitar Flatpicking Tips for Faster, Cleaner, Crisper PlayingBy Lee Griffith Whether you pick bluegrass, fiddle tunes, and old-time music on a guitar like I do, or other styles of music, here are some good basics to learn that will get you on the road to playing fast, clean, crisp lead on an acoustic guitar: 1. The first thing you need to do is start with a pick that is thick enough! Use at least a medium pick–usually about .73-.81mm. This may seem difficult at first, but it is absolutely necessary, so that you’ll get strong, snappy notes that really make a statement. 2. Be sure to grip the pick firmly so that your thumb and index finger cover most of the area of the pick. Choke up on that pick! You don’t want to play little wimpy licks! 3. DO NOT rest the palm or wrist of your picking hand on the bridge or on the top of your guitar. Your hand needs to float freely so that you can keep the edge of the pick at pretty much a 90 degree angle from the strings. K

Ok so you play guitar or are looking to learn….but which guitar do you buy? It’s a question that guitarists the world over ponder time and time again. Sure there’s the ever greens such as the Fender Stratocaster or the Gibson Les Paul and their inexpensive copies. But that’s a well trodden path - what you want is a little character a little something that makes you stand out - what you want is a hollow body semi acoustic. Why a semi acoustic? Ok for starters a Semi Acoustic looks the business. Take a look at a Gibson 335 with it’s smooth double cut away design and it’s elegant curves. When you step on the stage with a semi acoustic people notice. Take a look at a Strat or a Les Paul then take a look at a Semi - there’s a stark difference first off, semi’s are big but more importantly they are much lighter than their solidbody, comfortable to play and pack a punch in the sound department. Their sound Coupled with it’s looks hollow-

So you've chosen to take up the guitar. Good for you! Now comes the hard part: which guitar is the best to start playing on? Well, the answer to that question depends on many things. It depends on what kind of music you enjoy listening to, what kind of music you are looking to play, and what kind of level you wish to reach--amateur or professional. Before we go over each topic, let us first discuss the differences between Electric and Acoustic guitars. The main difference between an Electric and Acoustic guitar is the fact that the Electric must be plugged into an amplifier in order to be heard loudly, while the Acoustic can be played and heard without the use of an amp. This is because Acoustic guitars have sound holes, which produce the sound. Electric guitars, on the other hand, don't have a sound hole and are thus known as Hollow-body's. Electric hollow-body’s can be heard by the people playing them, but are inaudible to others without the use of an amp. Additionally, the
