This is my baby of which I am well pleased

I guess this is how I learnt to buy a guitar and also a little knowledge of why I bought Taylor guitar which Mike thinks makes no difference from a RM60 guitar. Now if you all remember me saying, I never had my own guitar prior to this. Therefore before this, my knowledge of guitars were relatively limited. Even now I don’t claim to be an expert but I definitely know how to choose a good guitar and tell what is a good guitar now.

This post will hopefully help most of you get the basics of choosing an acoustic guitar. Come to think of it. Should I teach you all how to choose other instruments? Please vote on this too ok?

The back of my baby

Why I am doing this is because I realize there are hardly people patient enough or even made the effort to teach me all these things. I don’t see simple articles that help. Also many articles make me feel stupid rather than help me know that everyone has the right to own an instrument that is worth their money. Some even sound like they look down on our knowledge and make us feel small. A lot of what I learnt is from oral tradition and of course experience. I do not hold to the thought that this guide is perfect. But I hope to help some to just start off into the big huge world of music easier. I also believe that everyone can play music someway or another if we only help them patiently. So I hope this post will help ignite an interest to learn music too for some.
