1. don’t buy a guitar at costco or best buy, they are crap and not even worth the cardboard they are packaged in.

2. spend as much as you can… you are not really going to get anything decent under $350 for an acoustic. If you do, you will sacrifice sound quality and playability and that will totally suck to spend 200 bux and not like the way it plays because it is hard to play and sounds like crap. don’t be cheap.

3.it is hard to play? not if you know how to it is challenging, just like anything, but if you play violin and piano, then you already know what it takes to learn an instrument, time and determination

4. self taught is fine, sign up for a free membership at my site… and also check youtube and google for tons of free guitar learning information

I play guitar myself; i have been around music my whole life but ive owned 4 acoustic guitars. 2 Ovations, A Classical, and a Suzuki. My favorite are the ovations because they have a built in tuner; I paid one of them $200 (kijiji.ca/com) no case and the other one $420 (long n mcquade) with case. Try kijiji.ca/com or a music store for a little more but you usually can return the guitar if your not happy with it. I found it pretty easy to play.
Hope this helped -Sam.

some guitars are more expensive because of the: quality, features… it depends what you want: if you buy a like 200 dollar one, it means you should be able to keep it forever { some of them only last a year } but if you buy a 90 dollar one, they usually do not last forever and are for younger people { smaller ones to }

i would go for the 200 dollar one! you know… just go to your where you buy your music and ask what they suggest for you! ;]

good luck and hope i help!

ps: prices :
smaller ones: 90-130
medium: 130-170
bigger: 170-240
brand named: 240-300
… there can be like 700 dollar acoustics! it depends on the quality’s!

They run in a range of prices. Anywhere from like $50 to thousands of dollars. I would say spend about $150 if you are jsut starting, and replace the strings right away. One of the main problems with cheao ones is that they have bad strings and most people don;t change them. So replace them with good strings. If you already play violin and piano you'll pick up quick. The scales and keys are alot like piano and easy to go back ans forth between. It's not as easy to play as an electric, but it will teach you better form in the long run.

I bought one from The Arts music store but thats in Ontario so it depends. I got a cheap Yahama one for 175 dollars. It was the cheapest one there.

It depends if you take lessons or not. I teach myself and it’s not the guitar itself thats hard, its the songs you want to learn. Taylor Swift songs are fairly easy because she uses the same chords. But another artist could be extremely hard. I’ve been playing since July and have selt taught myself and can play about 4 songs.
