About acoustic guitars

An acoustic guitar is a musical instrument that produces sound through vibrating strings above a hollow chamber in the guitar's body. They are usually made from wood and the hollow body helps amplify the sound. The majority of models come with 6 strings.

Not only is the guitar one of the most popular musical instruments worldwide, it is also one of the oldest ones. There are different theories about its origin, however it comes from an ancient line of stringed instruments. The earliest relative of the guitar can be traced back to the vihuelas - a stringed instrument played in the 16th century during the Renaissance in Spain.

The look the acoustic guitar has today appeared later, somewhere around 1850 when Spanish musician Antonio Torres Jurado remodelled it.

Why are acoustic guitars so popular?

Chances are you have at least a couple of friends who can play the guitar. Furthermore, you see and hear it all the time, on the radio, on TV, on the streets, guitars are by far the most common instrument in the world. That’s not by accident, there are plenty of reasons that made the guitar so popular.

One of the biggest reasons is the versatility of guitars. They are used in almost every genre of music including rock, pop, jazz, country, heavy metal, you name it. Whatever music you’re into and want to play, you can probably use a guitar for it. Furthermore, guitars are great for solo performances. Not everyone wants to play with others or has the opportunity to. If you learn a few simple chords, however, you’ll be able to easily perform on your own.

Last but not least, compared to other instruments, acoustic guitars are affordable and fairly easy to transport, which makes them great for beginners.

How long does it take to learn to play the acoustic guitar?

The great thing about music is that there’s always more to learn. How long it takes will entirely depend on what level of proficiency you’re after and how committed you are. If you want to learn a few basic chords that you can play in the evening after work, then it can take only a few months. However, if you want to truly master the acoustic guitar it will likely take years of practice.

The most important thing to remember is that music isn’t a competition. Don’t do it because you have to, do it because it brings you joy and excitement. Take your time, go at your own pace and enjoy the ride!

Learning to play the guitar isn’t necessarily an expensive hobby. If you want to learn faster and be able to practice on your own, you’ll probably need to buy yourself a guitar first. Luckily, there are very affordable acoustic guitars available that would suit a beginner perfectly.
