Learning to Play Guitar
dalconnsuch:
A sharp music shop
corner of fourth and capital in renton washington
up for a cross country trip there?
c'mon, just cuz you do a google search and see all the signature strats being sold for a thousan ddoesn't mean it isn't out there
just gotta do a little huntin'!
Spluff:
I'm lucky to see a Squier Strat for that much around here (but then again, that is AUD). Mexistrats tend to retail for about $400 USD from what I've seen, but you're right, I don't tend to look around that much.
Ballard:
Dogg, I work at an independent guitar shop. You will not find a new non-Squier Strat for that amount.
As well, the Strat is not the all-encompassing guitar. It is not the best beginner guitar (there probably isn't just one), it's simply the most popular.
Also maybe 1 out of every 50 people who try your method of learning succeed. Everyone else will burn out quite easily, so I suggest you review what you tell greenhorn musicians.
Nodaisho:
If you were to get a cheap guitar, I might be stating something you already know here, but don't buy without playing it first, quality can be really hit and miss. Play all the frets to make sure there are no dead frets, feel at the edges of the neck to make sure the frets don't just out too much, you don't want to slice your hand on a fret. Play it through an amp, if it buzzes loudly, try another, see if that helps. All of those things were problems with my first guitar, thankfully the guys at the shop were nice enough to send it back for a new one.
Valrus:
If you don't have a guitar yet, get something else. Everyone plays the fucking guitar and it's not cool anymore. Get a keyboard or a cello or a bouzouki or for the love of God anything else.
