subject: Useful Tips to Help You Choose Your First Guitar [print this page] If you prefer blues over classical music or would rather play hard rock music than jazz, then your musical preference can play a great role in considering the type of guitar you should get. For example, Blues, Classical Rock, and Metal enthusiasts might want to buy an electric or classic guitar as these are the most suitable types for their genres. Those who favour bluegrass, country or folk music, may be partial to acoustic steel string or acoustic/electric guitars. Classical music enthusiasts will naturally go for acoustic guitars as this is what the genre calls for. Those who are fans of guitar fingerstyle playing will enjoy acoustic, acoustic/electric, and classic electric guitars.
