Just as others have said, if you want to play classical music then get a classical guitar.

That said, the C40 is a good beginners guitar.]]> Opinions and Polls lue42 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/beginners-guitar-advice-yamaha-c40-classical-acoustic/#post-321938 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/beginners-guitar-advice-yamaha-c40-classical-acoustic/#post-321924 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 13:00:59 +0000
Classical? Easy? You're having a laugh. The Classical Guitar is extremely unforgiving of poor technique. I have a Distinction at Grade 8 and there are days when I sound absolutely dreadful. You can cover up a lot of sloppy or even bad technique with a distortion pedal or the overdrive channel on your amp.

That said, if you want to play Classical, get a Classical Guitar. If you want to play Slipknot, get a B C Rich and an amp. You should only get the guitar that lets you play what you really want to play.

But to start out with, find a guitar that you find comfortable and will give you enjoyment, worry about what will be easier or harder later IMHO.]]> Opinions and Polls JoeHempel https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/beginners-guitar-advice-yamaha-c40-classical-acoustic/#post-321910 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/beginners-guitar-advice-yamaha-c40-classical-acoustic/#post-321907 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 07:16:42 +0000 Opinions and Polls Dkatz23 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/beginners-guitar-advice-yamaha-c40-classical-acoustic/#post-321907 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/beginners-guitar-advice-yamaha-c40-classical-acoustic/#post-321905 Wed, 25 Feb 2009 07:05:33 +0000
