Starting out: The Guitarist.



This article is dedicated to the guitarist. Be it you are just starting out or already a guitarist who can shred like crazy, this post is specifically for you.




For newer people who may be just starting out in music and you are deciding to pick up guitar, here's a few tips and tricks to acquiring your first guitar. For a good guitar, look at the top where the sound hole is. Good guitars usually boast of solid tops and that of rich sounds. So, buy a solid top guitar. If that is over your budget, or if you are just looking for a budget guitar, maybe invest in one that will last you at least for a few months to a year.




Here are a few good budget brands that you can look at:




TGM : The Guitar Man




They're really cheap, from that of $70+ onwards. And they look quite proper too:


This is a TGM sunburst acoustic guitar.


I won't say this will sound the best, but if you just need to practise and play around, this will do great.







If you have some money to spend and wish to learn to produce a few tracks of your own, here's a nifty place to check out with lots of tutorials.






After you have gotten that guitar, do drop by a few websites to learn to play some of your favourite songs.
Drop by www.ultimate-guitar.com for some tabs and chord learning! They provide extensive tutorials as to playing and mastering your guitar.
So, what are you waiting for? Get up and going today guitarist!

The love for sounds and music have inspired me to create this blog and start blogging once again. Who is B.E.A.R? He is Jason Lim, a freelance DJ and musician based in Singapore. He currently co-owns an events business with his friends and spins for the company.

Having played with his first musical instrument since 5, he has now dwelt in 17 years of music, immersing himself in many different genres of music.

Every week, we (which is YOU, and me) shall explore the way to becoming a musician yourself, be it for passion, or for a living or just simple pure fun. We shall also review musical instruments, equipment for YOU - the aspiring musician.

So stay tuned for updates this week and we shall dive into the world of music together.
