Hi Ev,

If you're a complete beginner, the best way to find a decent starter guitar is to go to a local shop and try out a bunch. Eventually, you'll find one that fits your hand and your wallet.

Another tip is to start with an electric guitar. Electric guitars are a little easier to play because the strings don't feel as tight, the tension isn't as strong. This is important because the number one complaint in beginner guitar learners is that their fingers tend to get really sore. This is something guitarists are simply used to. So if you want an easier way to get into playing, go find an electric!

I started with a Squier Stratocaster, and those can be found for as low as $199, and it comes with a bag and a little amplifier.

Best,

Billy
