What kind guitar should I buy or rent as a beginner?
Guitar lessons Montreal
Students often wonder what type of guitar they should buy when first starting out. The 3 main options are classical, steel-string acoustic or electric. All 3 types of guitar are suitable for beginners, however there are advantages to each of them.
Where can I buy my first guitar in Montreal?
A great place to rent or buy your first guitar is Steve’s Music or Archambault. They have a wide selection of guitars that range in price from $150 to $1000. You can also look on Facebook: Vente et échange d’équipement de musique or Kijiji and find a used guitar that is still in great condition. Make sure to ask around or do an internet search to make sure that it is a quality instrument before buying.
How much does a guitar for beginners cost?
A brand new beginner guitar costs between $100-$200. Steve’s music has a great selection of guitars in that price range. It is recommended to start with a classical guitar. The reason being that classical guitars have nylon strings which are much easier on the fingers and therefore easier to play. This allows for quicker learning which greatly helps beginners push through the often frustrating first stages of learning the instrument.

(classical – full size)Should I learn tab or solfeggio?
Ideally every guitarist should learn both tab and solfeggio. Learning solfeggio allows the student to understand which notes they are playing as well as the correct rhythms (tab doesn’t include rhythm.) That said, you can certainly learn all your favourite songs while only understanding tab. Tab is generally the language of the internet, and so by learning tab you gain the ability to learn millions of songs. In a nutshell, if you prefer taking the shortcut to learning your favourite popular songs, then learn tab. If you want to be a real student of music, take the time to learn solfeggio as well.
A great book to learn guitar solfeggio is Hal Leonard Guitar Method Book 1: Book Only
