Q: I'm trying to teach myself how to play acoustic. Do you have to use a guitar pick? Any other tips? =]

A: You don't have to use a pick unless you want to. You can play with your fingertips which is known as fingerstyle or fingerpicking.
As for tips...practice every day, even if its just for half an hour, learn a new chord every day, and learn some scales.

you don't have to play with a pick. it just depends on the sound you want your guitar to make.

YOu don't need a guitar pick for acoustic. Actually, alot of acoustic DOESN'T use picks, but uses strumming and string picking with different fingers for different strings.

no a pick is not necessary but it will help because the alternative is your fingernail

The only 2 acoustic guitars I can think of right now are the Yamaha F335 and Epiphone Dove?

Which one do you recommend?

If you can thing of other better guitars please share. My budget is ~$200 for new acoustic guitar.

Thanks! :)


A: I have had BOTH and would recommend either Yamaha OR Epiphone. Look at Ibenez also.

Awesome Steve Vai Acoustic Guitar Performance

Steve Vai performing Angel Food live in Bucharest

Click here to view the embedded video.

The guy is absolutely amazing and Mike Keneally on keyboards is no slouch as well.

The funny thing is Steve Vai is usually binned in the guitar shredder category, however as you can see in this performance, he can channel his inner Gershwin if needed…
