I want to learn how to play. I want quality names such as Fender or Kramer, etc, but I don’t want to spend over $200 on a guitar to start out with. I’m looking toward a white guitar. We have a guitar store in town, but its nearing out of business and its selection is dwindling. Any ideas?

www.musiciansfriend.com

Not only are they inexpensive, but they are also a real "brick and mortar" business.

i already have the white one that came with my guitar hero ||| but sometimes the wammy doesnt work. are there better guitars out there?

Yes there will be in fact new Guitars coming out in stores. But Im not sure when they will be out. If you don’t wanna wait for the new guitars to come out in stores, just buy the regular Guitar from any store that holds them in stock. Like Gamestop, Target, Kmart, Best Buy, etc.

I’ve had my guitar for a while but just never actually bothered to learn to play it and now i really want to learn but i dont have enough money for lessons so i was just gonna try to learn online, where could i go?

What’s the Best online shop for buying "Ibanez" Style guitars

IN THE UK

ibanez.com. or musiciansfriend.com. or guitarcenter.com. looking into diverse catalogs on musiciansfriend.com will give you a pretty good idea of other manufacturers styles and sounds similar to an ibanez. u.s. companies, but ibanez should be able to find you a dealer, or at least one willing to ship to the uk. both of the others do.

I know NOTHING about guitars and my boyfriend wants one. I tried asking friends but they send me to musicians friend which are over priced.Some told to to look at Ibanez or Ovation. and i know he likes Ovations. i want to find him one that says "I love you, here’s a great guitar, but don’t have a lot of money" im looking for nothing over $200… that i can use paypal with

any ideas?

Guitar Center

www.guitarcenter.com

or try Ebay

edit…I just re-read… You’re looking for and acoustic electric guitar. A Gretsch hollowbody would be good, but they are a little pricey – you could find a good deal by checking e-bay, craigslist etc.

If you have one near you, Music Go Round is great too!!

Good luck!!

i want to buy an esp guitar but none of the local retailers sell them, do you think it would be safe to buy online and get a good guitar?

It’s always best to play a guitar before you buy it. But, sometimes you have you heart set on something and you know you want it. Musiciansfriend.com does great shipping and the product is always in great shape. They also have a return policy if you dno’t happen to like your purchase.

But, I’d say its a safe bet if thats what you want. My buddy ordered a bass off of musiciansfriend.com that he never played, got it and loved it.

Good luck

I want to learn how to play the guitar via online lessons
does anyone have any that they would recommend to me?

The best and easiest way to learn is with lessons from a good local instructor. Nothing is better then someone sitting in the same room with you explaining exactly what you need to know and whom you can ask a specific question. Only a instructor sitting there with you can point out that you are holding your hand or fingers wrong and show you exactly how to correct it. Only a real instructor can gauge your progress from week to week and give you feedback on your progress
