Buying Guitar Straps
By Bill McRea
There are several guitar accessories that you can’t do without unless you’ll be playing only in your bedroom. However, if you’ll join those axe-slingers in front of screaming fans, then you certainly need to buy guitar straps.
There seems to be nothing much in a guitar strap or so it seems. However, if you’ve ever been on stage with the wrong strap, you’ll agree with me that it can only be compared with attempting to cat-walk with a pair of shoes that hurt on a sore foot.
Guitar straps come in different types. There are guitar straps that are made of fabric and there are those that are made of leather. There are also custom designs, mass productions and designer guitar straps.
There are suede guitar straps; there are studded guitar straps. You can also find nylon guitar straps. Believe me, you can almost find a guitar strap made af anything that can be made into a belt.
You can spend a bundle on this if you want to get those that are associated with guitar greats. Don’t expect to pay anything out of ridiculous if you can get a guitar strap that is purported to have been used or even touched by Elvis Presley (Let’s not even go there).
So what do you have to take care of when buying a guitar strap? Here are a few…
First and foremost, you must ensure you get a guitar strap that’s very comfortable. Any other consideration must be placed as secondary.
You can choose either special designer guitar straps that will give you a unique look and feel or you can go to any guitar shop and pick stuff that is good and comfortable.
Also make sure your guitar strap suits your music genre and personality. And finally, just note that until you become a rock god or some guitar idol, a guitar strap isn’t one of those things you should take a mortgage for.

It feels really exciting thinking about buying a musical instrument, especially if it is a guitar. It is such a charming instrument that fills our life with rhythm. The excitement is much more in case of buying it for the first time. But the first time buyer has to be very conscious as compared to old buyer. The decision and the search have to be wise to make the right choice which will not only save time but money too. Some homework is necessary before hitting the guitar store. Here are some guitar buying tips that will hopefully help the guitar lovers while buying one.
Guitar Buying Tips - I
What kind of guitar: The first and foremost homework is to decide about the kind of guitar needed. Whether it is an Acoustic guitar, an Electric guitar, or a Classical guitar. Basically the choice depends on the type of music to be learned. Like in case of rock music, electric guitar is the perfect one. If your interest is towards classical or folk, acoustic guitar will be the best choice. Here, one vital point should be mentioned that for the beginners, acoustic guitars are the best and is quite cheap as compared to electric guitar.
Guitar Buying Tips - II
New or Used: Next thing to decide is whether to buy a new one or a used one i.e., second hand. This is mainly depends on the budget and the quality of the guitar to be purchased. If the budget is low then it is better to go for second hand model but then the quality must be checked properly. In this case it is better to refer a guitar expert who can test the instrument properly or make sure you buy it from a reliable online dealer.
Guitar Buying Tips - III
Brands and models: Then comes, researching the brands and the models of the guitar. There are lots of brands available in the market and therefore, it is better to examine them before settling to buy one. Even the age factor of the player matters here. Like, for the adults, full size guitar will match. But for the children, the guitar size will be half and 3/4th. Then there is variety of models, which too need some good research. They have different body styles, pickups bridge, neck joints that have to be checked.
The research also includes examining the material of the guitar, i.e., the wood, as guitars are made up of various types of wood.
Guitar Buying Tips - IV
Check for performance: Now, after the choice is done in everyway, then comes sensing the performance. Before buying the guitar, it is necessary to check the performance of the instrument, by playing it for sometime. This way it can be found out whether the player is comfortable playing and handling it and whether it sounds well. In case of the beginners, the perfect one will be the low action acoustic guitar, which is quite easy to handle.
Guitar Buying Tips - V
Where to buy from: To save some money and time, buying guitar online is the best process to follow. But keeping in mind to find out the company’s return policy. Different companies have different return policy, which gives their customer time to assess the guitar and to check whether everything is according to their requirements. They even offer reasonable price, including free delivery and money back guarantee or exchange offer.
Here is a video review of the Ibanez RG 320 FM Guitar. The guy is wearing the craziest outfit I have seen in a long time and I got a pretty good laugh out of it. Putting that aside the review was pretty good (once you get past his accent). He really breaks down the guitar (he really like the maple you will know what Im talking about after you see the video). If you have given any thought to the Ibanez guitar check out the video.
I cant tell you how much I enjoy this guy. He really makes a great video about how to play the guitar that really moves slow enough that by the end you should be able to play a bit of the guitar. The guy is just a really great teacher/instructor and after watching the videos a few times you should be able to put a little melody together.
Man what a great article! There are people out there paying a ton of money for lessons that they could be getting for free. Any time I get a chance to save a few bucks I am going to do it. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t pay for lessons eventually, but if you can get free lessons to get you going why not look into it?

Secrets of Choosing the Perfect Acoustic Guitar
By Mike Corrado
Whether you are looking to buy new, or replace an old acoustic guitar, the first thing you should always bear in mind is that no other materials should be used to make an acoustic guitar apart from than dried wood. Most of us take wood for granted, but if the wood used to make an acoustic guitar is not completely dried before molding into guitar shape, then the sound will never come out right. The whole life of the acoustic guitar will be one of poor sound quality.
The most important part of any acoustic guitar is what is called the bridge. The bridge unit of the instrument is a vital part of where the sound vibrations come from to move to the sound chamber of the guitar. Without the bridge, which is also constructed from dried wood, the sound would not be there on this instrument.
The body of the acoustic guitar is usually what attracts potential buyers to that particular brand of guitar. Usually the type of wood that is used to make the acoustic guitar body can be determined by the price of the guitar. The higher the price, the higher the cut of wood is - it is rather like a steak.
Understanding not only these two parts of an acoustic guitar, but all other parts as well will allow you to find the perfect acoustic guitar for your needs. If you are looking for that special acoustic guitar with the sturdiest neck or the one that has the best sounding bridge, it is always important to get specialist advice. However the bridge and the body are what most looking to buy an acoustic guitar look at first.
I really enjoyed her last video I checked out so I thought I would check out a couple more of her videos. I came across this video and got excited. I havent come across a video before that showed someone how to do basic finger picking. I’m sorry it’s not very loud but the video is really worth having on this site as there are a few of you out there looking for just this kind of teaching. The video starts getting into it about 2 minutes in.
I came across this video and really enjoyed it. She does an awesome job of showing you how to use a guitar slide. She really goes into some detail and the video is top notch. She moves slow enough that after you view the video a few times you should be able to start doing some her slide routines. If you have ever wanted to learn to play the guitar slide then check out the video…
