Which type of Guitar Lesson is right for you?
Classical Guitar Lessons
If you want to play classical and Latin music, Classical Guitar Lessons are an excellent choice. Classical guitar can also be used to play folk and pop music.
The nylon strings of a classical guitar are gentler on the fingers than the steel strings of an acoustic guitar. This makes it easier to play for some new players, especially children.
Pop & Acoustic Guitar Lessons
Are you inspired by Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift? The steel-string acoustic guitar is used predominantly in music genres such as pop, blues, folk and country music.
Acoustic guitar is a great tool for writing your own songs, particularly if you plan to sing as well.
Electric Guitar Lessons
Do you dream of playing guitar like a rock star? Electric guitar is the primary choice for beginners who plan to play rock, metal, blues and modern country music.
Electric guitars are physically somewhat easier to play, because they have a smaller body, thinner neck, and use lighter gauge strings when compared with acoustic guitar.
Bass Guitar Lessons
Bass is probably the most critical instrument in a band because it provides the rhythmic foundation. Some would even say it’s “the heartbeat of the song.”
At Joy Music Studio, our Bass Guitar Lessons will teach you the fundamentals of playing the bass guitar, like fingerstyle, popping, thumping, slapping, and plucking.
So, which guitar should you choose ⎯ Acoustic, Classical, Electric or Bass?
Here are two things to consider when choosing a guitar:
1. Styles of music you want to play.
Each type of guitar has unique characteristics which make it best suited for certain genres of music. We recommend that you choose a guitar that is best suited to your preferred musical style.
For a comprehensive list of music styles suited to each guitar type, check out the blog article, “Choosing a Guitar: Acoustic, Classical, or Electric?” by Jason Sagebiel of Sage Music School.
2. Physical considerations.
Classical guitar, due to its light weight and lower string tension, is recommended for young children.
Adults with short fingers may find an acoustic guitar easier to handle than a classical guitar due to its narrower guitar neck.
People with left shoulder, upper back, or rotator cuff injuries should consider the weight or the thickness of a guitar body, which can make one guitar type better suited to their physical condition.
Once you have decided on the styles of music that you most want to play, we can help you choose the type of guitar best suited for you!
Do you want to take a Graded Exam on Guitar?
Our excellent guitar teachers can confidently prepare students to get glowing marks using the ABRSM, Rockschool UK curriculum, or with RGT@LCM (Registry of Guitar Tutors at London College of Music).
