Buying the right guitar
There are 3 types of guitars:
1) nylon string acoustic,
2) steel string acoustic
3) electric guitar.
In addition these guitars are available in 3 sizes: full size, ¾ size and ½ size.The proper size of guitar you should purchase should be determined by your child’s age and body size. Buying an instrument that is too big or too small will make it much harder to learn on!
If you are going to purchase an acoustic instrument, keep in mind that nylon string guitars are much easier to learn on than the steel string ones. This is due to the fact that you need to apply much more pressure on steel strings in order to create tone which can be a painful experience for the beginner. Finally, electric guitars are the easiest to learn on granted the student has no desire in playing classical style.
