Reminds me of David Attenborough, or whatever his name is

@@wyattj.sullivant3494 That's Sir David Attenborough and he's a 95 year old man. Put some respect on his name.

As a first time guitar buyer, I did exactly what you said in your video, and only later after being frustrated did I do more research on purchasing a guitar (size,sound, components,etc) This is a great informative video to help newbies as far as what they should consider when buying.

[@NICKYSYMONEE]

BEST AND MOST RELEVANT VIDEO I'VE FOUND OUT OF THE MILLIONS I'VE WATCHED SO FAR , THANKS DEF LOOKING UP UR PAGE

[@georgeb8701]

Thank you sir. As a beginner I need all thehelp I can get. Your time and efforts are very much appreciated ! Cheers from across the pond! ✌🏻🇺🇸

[@howemusictuition]

Great Video and content. We always recommend the NYLON Strung classical guitar for beginners. Softer on the fingers and easier to build the strength to get past the "pain barrier" for the initial coming months.

[@roelvandervelde1596]

Simple and to the point advice for absolute-beginner-buyers like myself. You got my vote!

[@jawadhaidary4343]

thanks a million, your video helped me to choose my favorite guitar and learn about different types of guitars. Your lesson was quite pedagogical and effective. thanks again!

[@michaelc3977]

"quite pedagogical". Will you explain what you mean?

[@diyanayusof9141]

your really good at teaching people guitar lessons . your the best guitar teacher i know

[@fleshrocker]

I like this teaching style. To the point. Makes sense.

[@SuperDrumsforever]

Thank you. This was helpful. After over 50 plus years of being a drummer I want to learn guitar.

[@SirVictorJohn]

need to get my classical guitar but have very less idea for how it should sound but I play acoustic very well....

[@peacebaby7702]

So happy to have found your channel! New subscriber! Brilliant!

[@saphaltashrestha1241]

The video as well as the comment section was very informative. Thanks.

[@guitarDad100]

Good lesson. Probably a good idea to go with a friend or get good advice from your guitar teacher what is a good value for your money and not what the salesman is pushing you to buy. Thanks for posting this video.

[@allenrhodora6054]

Wow...ok..thank you sir....nylon for new beginners...i will buy guitar..tomorrow..

[@AndreyPerepelitsa]

You said that it's important to make sure guitar fits person, and yet you never specifically said what to look for. I went to local store and they just said that guitars have couple sizes but classical guitar has 2" neck and all of them are the same beside that. So what makes guitar confirmable and what makes guitar uncomfortable?

[@radiatorqcpogo3268]

My first is a Gretsch G9202 honey dipper resonator guitar.

[@NuKe11Killer]

What do I choose if I want to play corridos

[@jarednixon6245]

Very good advice. Thanks

[@מרפאהבכפר]

thank you for the video it was very useful I am looking forward to listen to all the other

[@imoninternets]

Yeah I think I need a guitar with a wider neck, 51mm or so. I'm trying to play my brother's really old guitar that he had as a kid and it is quiet difficult, I have fairly large hands which doesn't help, the neck width on this old guitar is 43mm (at the nut). Great video, Thanks old mate!

[@curtisanderson6131]

I agree with your your statement on the 80% being the player's ability. My best guitars have always been under the $200 range. Some with and some without high name brands. Too many people have fallen for expensive guitars because they see famous musicians endorsing them. (which by the way get paid to do that, and some still don't care much for the brands they use). Gibson maybe more expensive than Epiphone (their sister company), but there are too many complaints about the Gibson Les Paul's headstock not being durable and causing the strings to go out of tune due to the exaggerated angle. That's why musicians who play Les Paul, usually have both.I like a guitar that if it does fall over, I don't have to buy a new one. Especially for $6000. However, the acoustic you are talking about is a dreadnought acoustic. As for variations and string numbers there are probably too many to mention. Some say that the main steel strung guitars are Dreadnought, Parlor, Jumbo, Dreadnought Variants, Auditorium, Grand Auditorium, and Classical. As for the acoustic bass, although it is a bass guitar, wouldn't it be more related to the upright bass? Also, aren't Spanish guitars the originals, with the western guitars being their variations?

[@zarewconsciousness]

tnx

[@markusmartinez6588]

This helped me a lot. Thank You Sir.

[@icedpony]

I prefer classical even though I play a variation of what would be classified as indie folk. It goes better with the way I use my voice, and I like the way the sound changes when you move through the instruments dynamic spectre a whole lot more. In short I'm more inspired by nylon string string classical guitar than any other instrument I can play in my current appartment(I make songs for about 12 hours a day and got a sound sensitive unemployed neighbour, so I can't experiment with feedback and loud analog distortion though I'd really like to)

[@kit-kath1525]

Thanks for this video sir I hope someday I could play good I'm a learner and just purchased my first acoustic guitar I bought something cheap cost me 75$ 38 inch cause my body frame is small that's why I preferred small guitar I'm thinking I don't want to spend to much for a start till I learn so I hope this guitar will works it so hard to tune though

[@emangonzales2004]

this will be gonna easy for me when im learning rubiks im not doing anything im just focused to it and maybe i will do the same in the guitar

[@mr.metalanonymousanonymous4900]

For western music you are really better off going for a steel strung guitar ... tell that to Willie Nielson :-)

[@aniketkhot6023]

sir can i play Spanish music like rumba flamenca on electro acoustic guitar ? and what do u think of ibanez pf15ece ?

[@Dragon34th]

For me it has to be steel strung with cutaway body. Just knowing I could play any notes on the fretboard is basic human rights!

[@madhoswami2601]

Thanks a ton sir.

[@vedbratroy2354]

which is the best guitar 18 or 21 frets

sir which guitar do u have in the video ? will you tell me pls with module number

Hi , ty so much for the video really liked it .. but i really wanted to hear ur ideas about the electro-acoustic guitar

[@ogawasan5581]

thank you so much !

[@Unknown-zs1jq]

Why would you say to get an acoustic guitar first, arnt electric guitars more easy to play, also can't you make effects on electric guitars to make them sound like acoustic guitars and many more things??

[@mehrsherazsial9175]

sir i want to buy a guitar..n i m beginner too.. please advise me about it

Sir whats the name of the first classic nyolon strung? Because i wanna learn it and idk if its ukulele

[@marius8457]

thank you very much.

[@silverballrocknroll]

I playing electric guitar for 2 years now. I started with an 98' Hamer Futura, cause it was a gift. But acoustic sounds so cool, specialy down tuned

[@masterofzero7105]

Your right people that give up buy the wrong guitar that requires you to go threw hours of learning just to be able to play one tune ..if these people only new they can play a great sounding tune within 5 minutes or less...👉buy a cigar box guitar 👍there in open tuning.. and jam out on day one 😎🎼👍 and remember a 6 string is 3 strings to minnie 🤔

[@abdelrahmannasrallah6080]

Guys would you recommend buying a "HIH" guitar? Its very cheap but its my first guitar. so should i do it?

[@RakeshDas-tn4jn]

Sir i like this guitar........ But i select another one 1.epiphone pro 1 2. epiphone pr 4e Which one have best sound quality????

[@finbah5706]

is it just me or is this guy a twin for malcolm mcdowell..viddy well droogy!

[@mindless4roc23]

Based on the things said on your video, you recommend buying a guitar at the store as opposed to buying it online, yes?

[@mindless4roc23]

SecretGuitarTeacher Thank you and I understand. It can be risky when buying stuff online but I tend to do a lot of research before deciding to do something like that.

[@jcgalore1080]

nice...and what about the caliber of the strings? what´s the recomendation about it? wich one is the best? cheers ;)

[@jcgalore1080]

great info! thank you very much...have a nice day!

[@Bobthe1st2]

would you recommend buying from guitar center? Also what's the price range for begginer classical guitars so I know Im not being ripped off or getting something bad quality?

[@roberttaylor1917]

don't go no further than a Fender Guitar dudes and dudettes!...I'm telling you!

[@jamespardee8534]

As much as I love you guys for doing this, I heartily disagree! I purchased a nylon string half wide electrified acoustic guitar, and wish I had done so sooner! Much easier to play! Just saying,PEACE!

[@jamespardee8534]

*****​ It's an Antonio Hermosa with a half width body. AHT-10CE. I have it tuned to "D" down one full step. I can get it to sound different ways because of built in pickup and eq., and could probably get even more versatile effects with a higher quality amp than the 9v. Amp I have now. The reason why I would recommend it, or something comparable is because I can now play any chord cleanly, and transitions, slides, etc., come much more smoothly enabling me to not only learn faster, but to explore more of my own musical ideas, rather than just spending hours and hours struggling with rudimentary technique.
