The BEST Beginner Guitar

[@ConradOsborn99]

I like how you showed Kurt Cobain playing a Mustang when talking about the Strat.

[@RedlightBlue]

hey don't look that closely pls

[@kurtcobain5466]

Hmm

[@FKMDC]

Aagh its him

i was just commenting this for god sake

[@purple9446]

kurt had a jag stang it is a jaguar body witha mustang neck btw

genuinely loving the new style my friend, but it's also the morning and I can't think of a good joke

[@RedlightBlue]

Haha good one

[@bloubear2557]

You 2 should collab

[@valpatterson7096]

I do kinda miss the weird two red blues in the back ground though and the funny faces tho

[@leviblanchard545]

Bruh how does every one of your songs sound like a banger from 2013 that I very vaguely remember listening to in the car as a child?

[@RedlightBlue]

2013's the only year i listened to music

[@leviblanchard545]

Ah a man of culture I see

[@Sticknub]

[@ArtemSayapov]

That's cuz all the bangers are from 2013 (except for the ones that aren't from 2013)

[@benmaxey3965]

The not so subliminal message here is theft...and I’m all in, sounds cost effective

[@RedlightBlue]

why pay for things when you can not

[@jletsfsu]

Net positive i guess 🧐

[@Apple_Beshy]

He is right though?

[@ayaankhan2717]

I’d recommend either the Yamaha Pacifica 112V or the 112J. Both great guitars (and surprisingly versatile) but the 112V is a bit more expensive due to better tone and volume knobs and slightly better sounding pickups. It also has a coil tap option so you could get a single coil at the bridge. If you’re looking for a budget HSS strat you can’t go wrong with a Pacifica. (Plus they look cool which is probably the most important quality of a guitar to anybody.) Wouldn’t recommend the 012. It’s good for its price but it won’t last you a long time. The tuners aren’t great so there’s no point in using the tremolo arm. Plus the pickups are different and a bit worse.

[@planlessdan]

Pacificas in general are so good for their price point, I love them a lot! My old housemate had a 112V and I still miss that guitar, because having a solid guitar that felt fun to play and has coil taps is super good when you're still learning and figuring out what kinda sound you want! That said, even the 012 Pacificas are not to bad for a beginner. The pickups aren't special, but that humbucker gives you more kick than your standard three single coil strat, and it seemed pretty solidly built when I picked up my old one(originally meant to be a gift for someone but I got attached and had to tear myself away from it). The extra cash for the 112V or 112J is SUPER worth it as a small price difference goes a long way with budget guitars, but I doubt a beginner would feel like they've got a dodgy product or are missing out with the cheaper one, and the worst offences of those can be fixed real quick with a decent setup. Not sure I would trust a Bullet Squier the same way at all.

[@jayden_2954]

I just picked the 112v up and I’m currently learning using Justin guitar. Currently going through D and A chords and anchoring!

[@kilgoretrout321]

My bro's old Pacifica sounds like fire on my Vox amp. I thought it might sound weak like my old Squier, but the pickups still sound loud and great. The only issue is the switch and input jack go bad pretty quickly. Luckily theyre easy to replace and I learned how to solder pretty quickly just from CZcams. After that, I put a TusQ nut on it (just needed some wood glue) and it's pretty much perfect

[@akato.5785]

Im crying they cost 3000 bucks in my country 🤧

[@JesseDrawz]

My first guitar was €50,- and it was a classical guitar. Learned a lot on that one. About 13 years later and now I have 7 different ones 😅

[@leviblanchard545]

Dude the videos keep getting funnier. Please keep it up, I adore your channel

[@beaver_eater2447]

My first guitar is a strat and im so happy i got it, 3 single coil is very versatile : rock, blue, neo-soul, r&b,.... strat can play very well

[@livm6991]

where’d u get it

[@SIRiAlerion]

I almost regret starting with a cheap guitar. I moved on from it in just a few months. Granted I started playing over quarantine and had nothing but time to play and practice so I figured out that I wanted a good quality guitar pretty quick.

[@youtubelebanon6727]

Went with a Jackson JS12.
Rosewood Fretboard, HH configuration. But most importantly, it was the only HH guitar in this range whose clean tones I liked.

[@Comrade173]

Glad you brought up buoyancy, since I exclusively play guitar while playing in my (stolen) bath tub

[@ZachNa]

There are some decent acoustics around 200. I own a yamaha thats really great when paired with coated strings. The issue with acoustics is that easy playability is sacrificed on cheaper ones and for beginners thats necessary to have. All that to say I think you could still shoot for under 400 rather than getting a taylor. As long as you know what to check when you try it.

[@baminecrafta]

My first acoustic was a Yamaha fs800 great little guitar for under $300

[@tijoao4661]

[@primenewstoday7040]

I started on a squire bullet strat beautiful sounding and playing electric now I have a fender cd-60s all mahogany acoustic another great sounding and playing guitar and super beautiful. I paid 220 for each and they are great couldn’t recommend more

[@jpc4803]

Knowing my gramps, he probably would handed his guitars (one of them's custom made specifically for him) down to us grandkids anyways, since most of us are musically inclined (my cousins are big musical geeks, and they play really well).
Rest In Peace, gramps.

[@FreudianQuip]

I have an ibanez rg and enjoy it. First guitar was a $200 esp but eventually the neck twisted and would have cost more to fix than it was worth

[@kylechen9573]

I rented a few budget guitars when I first started, and I would say the one with best value for what it costs was the Yamaha Pacifica

[@buatagas345]

I came here for the guidance, and stayed for that, plus the humoric way of the video 🤣 hahaha love it, man!!

[@chamcham123]

I'd say just start with whatever guitar you can get your hands on. If there is a family member or friend that has a guitar they don't use, ask them to borrow it. Whenever you outgrow that guitar is a good time to buy your first guitar. The quality of your first guitar (unless it's a toy guitar) likely won't matter as much as your technique. As long as you can tune the guitar and it has all the strings, it's fine.

[@muhammadhaikalsyamsuddin5577]

I am in love with this comedy and editing, new sub (also thanks for recommendations!)

[@ricetomeatyou852]

important: amp is important too. the any guitar can sound funky or metal if you put it through a certain amp. some amps can do both

[@MarkToast99]

Also important, what kind of music do you want to build up to playing? If you wanna go classic rock, any kind of Gibson will do honestly. Fender will even do the trick, too, but may not sound as meaty with some types of guitars. If you want more twangy stuff, get a Fender. If you're looking to do metal and drop the tuning down to drop Z, get a long guitar. The longer it is, the better it will handle tuning low. Ibanez and Fender are good for this. Also get one with humbuckers if you're playing rocky stuff, and one with single coils if you're playing softer, jazzier, twangier, or Alabamaier stuff.

[@truffeltroll6668]

I'm not a beginner. But beginner guitars are usually nice for gig stuff
Edit: strats are good, but don't really cut through the mix that well. Consider that when playing in a band

[@nick.galusha7788]

my first real acoustic(by that i mean one that was mine) was an alvarez RF27CE and it to this day still sounds great and unique

Honestly i think that strat style guitars have the most amount of aftermarket if you ever want to change some parts out for others

[@lucyfer_the_bat]

bought myself a mustang last year and now a year later I got myself a Jackson Rhoads v as my second guitar

[@suburbanindie]

I bought a Squier Strat and a 30 watt Fender practice amp for about $300-350 in 1995

[@bakerhalt]

I agree with most of them other than the gibson one, yes it's a fantastic guitar. But the headstock is heavier than the body, essentially that means if you let go of the guitar it falls on the headstock rather than not falling at all. And also if you play it you will have to use a bit of power to keep it steady and that can make it significantly harder to play with, it's a good guitar but for a beginner, it's just making it harder to learn.

[@deanbembridge8640]

Epiphone is not necessarily a beginner brand, it's sometimes preferred over the main brands by some players (the Beatles for example). I know it was different back then, but one shouldn't think a brand is for beginners just because it's cheaper than expensive guitars.
