Once you've read this Rough Guide Tipbook you'll be able to get the best out of a classical or steel-string acoustic guitar, make an informed purchase, and understand pretty much all of the jargon you'll come across in magazines, brochures, or on the Internet. This is a book that tells you everything you need to know rather than everything there is to know. Features include:
-What to look for when buying a guitar - and how to avoid making expensive mistakes.
-A run-through of the different brands.
-Learning to play: how hard is it? do you need to read music? What are the best ways to pracise?
-Tips on tuning, pickups, strings, picks and nails, and maintaining your guitar.
-Clear diagrams to take you through all the key learning processes.
