“I don’t have time to practice”. Figure out where to fit practice time in your schedule to make the most of your limited time. Remember, being a student of the guitar is a journey, not a race.
1) Short bursts multiple times daily Five minutes blocks of time can add up if you are consistent. Start first thing in the morning and every time you have a
break from whatever it is you’re doing, pick up your instrument. If you do this several times during
the day, you’ll be surprised at the practice hours you log and the
progress you’ll make.
2) Two or three longer practice sessions during the day Planning is key here, regarding how much time and what times of the day you have available. Look at your schedule
and plan ahead.
3) One long practice session a day This is the traditional method and if you have the time, patience,
and focus,
Of course the best approach may be to combine all three. Be realistic
about your available time, use your time wisely but most of all, have fun!
Creating a truly easy-to-play guitar isn’t easy. But thanks to
exhaustive analysis, numerous technological innovations, and suggestions
from a “who’s who” of professional players, the PRO-1 guitars aren’t
only easy to play - they are easy to use, easy to own, and deliver a
full, vibrant tone that creates a truly satisfying acoustic guitar
experience.
It's almost universally accepted that all things being equal, a solid top guitar sounds better than a laminate top guitar. Most folks think that a guitar built with all solid woods sounds better than a guitar built with laminate back and sides. One of the most affordable all solid wood guitars on the market is the Recording King RD-10.
