Hello laura lily,

I would recommend looking at many guitars before buying and in many cases you do get what you pay for. Depending on the sales staff, you may feel some pressure to decide and buy. Don't give into it. Search online a bit and see if you can find a store that sells used instruments as well- you can get some great deals at stores like that. Seagull makes some great guitars, but depending on your budget you might try looking into slightly less expensive, but good brands like Alvarez. Check out different styles (dreadnaught, parlor, concert, etc.) and- assuming you're right-handed- see how they feel under your right arm and how the neck feels in your left hand. Go ahead and grab on and go through the motions of moving arund the neck and strumming. An uncomfortably fat neck or wrong radius or a challenging reach over the lower bout can make a huge difference and limit your enthusiasm. Since you're just starting out, fondle as many guitars as you can and keep an open mind- much like adopting a new cat- let the right guitar choose YOU. Even if it's a bit more expensive and might take a down payment and a few months to pay off. Believe me, it's worth the effort. Nothing will turn off a beginner and negatively influence the learning experience faster than a lousy, ill-fitting guitar.

A word about instructional resources. I searched YT and alot of other guitar instruction websites and GT is the one I've settled on. The tutorials are well-paced, clearly delivered, and the instructors are very professional. What I found on YT and many other sites are a hodge-podge of song and riff collections that have no structure and many of them are just plain wrong. I recently watched a video purporting to competently cover the solo from The Beatle's "Nowhere Man" on an Epiphone Les Paul and that guy wasn't even close. He didn't even realize that it's an arpeggio-based solo using nothing but augmented and suspended chords- trying to play it as a series of scale riffs. At the risk of sounding overly-critical and condescending, he should've searched for videos of George Harrison playing it before splashing his ignorance across the world on YT. I see this kind of intellectual pollution on YT on an all-too-frequent basis.

I'm not on GT's advertising payroll, but I can tell you that after searching online and hiring private instructors, Guitar Tricks' Core Learning System is the one resource that has given me the best results. Try it!

The Seagull S6 is an excellent choise and will provide all the guitar you will need as you progress.

Seagull S6 is the best for beginners.

Why? hmm, for many reasons.

It's very easy to play, a rosewood fretboard is easy on the fingers.

There are other features that S6 has. I won't list all of them here because that would make my post too long.

I've recently written a guide for beginner players, and I've included couple of guitar reviewes and recommendations too. You might want to check it out.

I can kind of agree with this. When trying to learn, I used YouTube a lot and I just felt like I never learned anything and often got overwhelmed, bored, or just frustrated by it time and time again. YouTube is a great resource for little things but when trying to learn guitar it just left me wanting more.

So far GuitarTricks really feels like it has the right structure for me. For $20 a month it really isn't bad at all. Significantly cheaper than an instructor and the videos don't seem to cover anything unnecessary. I hate long winded videos where you can't just watch, play, repeat if you need to see it again. When people talk too much or try to cram too much into each video it leaves me having to pause and play then go back and find where I left off. Coming back to it a day later is even harder.

type of guitar for beginners

As has already been said. Trying to learn guitar from YouTube will only lead to frustration.

Guitar Tricks will take you gently through the learning process and will give you all the knowledge and practice you need.

For starters, the Seagull S6 sounds a good beginners intrument. I'm sure if you shop around you would get a good deal.

As far as the pain in your fingers when you start I'm afraid it can't be avoided but with regular practice it doesn't take long to get your finger tips hardened up.
