You can get some cheap guitars (cheap as in affordable) that are good. However, if your paying less than you would for a good cable, then idk what you expect 😂

I learned in a $20 guitar.... it was impossible doing an F chord on it. (Simply because no sound would come out of it when pressing all the strings) a lot of people told me to just put it in the trash because it was "useless". But my parents did not have money to get me anything better... so i tried incredibly hard and never gave up despite the fact it was so hard to play it, my hands would hurt a lot when playing it for long periods of time and didn't really make much progress in months.. Now 13 years later I have my own studio, I play classical guitar, electric guitar, drums, bass and piano and still have that 20 dls guitar sitting in my studio as a reminder that its not about the instrument, its about YOU and your willingness to get as far as your imagination will allow you to, just keep grinding.... you can do it.

It went out of tune every 10 minutes so I learned how to tune it real quickly by ear. I learned to play all a beginner could want to learn on that guitar. My parents also did not have much money at that time. It was a time for making do with what we had or could obtain while still putting food on the table. Some folk will have learned on scrappers, some folk won't even learn on the best. I enjoyed your story Pardo very much! Thanks for sharing.

I'm a piano guy but when I was at high school, my best friend was a guitar lover, he would talk about them literally All THE TIME. And his enthusiasm made me want to learn the instrument, so I bought one, of course, I was just a random teanager with no further knowledge about guitar so I took the first "cheap" (already a pain in the but to get here in my country mostly for teanager) one that I saw (around 60 $ if my conversion is correct), so I started looking at online courses, after 3 months of playing or so, I was getting nowhere so I just thought I suck at it. Not so long after that, there was a party in my school and we brought all of our guitar, and I found out absolutely no one could play my guitar!!! Seeing that, I took another chance and bought another guitar but this time, my friends helped me choosing a good one... and here I am now years later, still with this guitar, and can now say officially that I do really suck at playing this instrument.... 😑

Parito I can give a few tips. 1. Stick to one song, I recommend something easy with only tabs, no chords for now. 2. You can play something like Happy birthday or a famous tv show song me was (gravity falls) it really helped a lot. 3. When you mess up don’t keep on going restart over until you got it 4. Stretch your fingers 5. Relax and get comfortable 6. And if you can play most easy songs try playing Ode to Jay, that’s the best beginner song that can really help you improve trust me.

I got a 500 pesos guitar which is about 25 dollars over here. It was ok it was an average guitar but had a very thick neck (playing bar chords was a real struggle!!!) and it had cheap wood. It still looked pretty nice and worked enough to learn the basics. I later upgraded (if you can call it that) to a used $60 TOKAI GAKKI FRANCISCAN Model No.51 guitar (its Japanese or something). It's way better than my first guitar but since it's pretty old tuning is a struggle, and it has some scratches in the back and front. It also has a crack that's been "fixed" in the bottom. Also when you use a capo the strings sound off, they sound to pressed on idk how to explain it. But overall it still manages to please me (in other words I can't afford a better one).

@markmurphy4866

Steven - have to disagree on the Guitar Center comment. They move so much volume that they tend not to setup any instrument other than the upper tier guitars. I’ve picked up multiple instruments that had severe playability or electronics issues. I actually favor pretty high action (I play upright and electric bass), but I’m talking about unrealistic setups. Classical guitars by definition always have nylon strings, never steel. I suppose you could find gut strings somewhere. As someone who worked in a few guitar stores, I’d also say that a new $100 steel string is often more playable than a used instrument- even at a similar price point. Used instruments are a mixed bag. Some great buys to be found, for sure, but unless you know what to look for, it’s buyer beware (used or new). Many folks quit as a result of a hard to play instrument, one that won’t stay in tune or simply sounds bad. It’s interesting that the guitar in this video plays reasonably in tune and sounds surprisingly good for the price. But, as the reviewer states, it is very hard to play.

This thing seems dangerous. It's definitely made for nylon strings, I'm surprised the bridge didn't rip clean off. Maybe the giant pick is designed to use as a shield so you can protect your face when this happens.

Video is a couple of years old now but the lesson on buying a decent guitar for someone learning is still an important one. Also a lesson I learned the hard way. My first guitar was a pawn shop find that was horrible. I was ready to just give up and decide I couldn't learn to play. Luckily for me, a long time friend and player reached out to me and said, "hey, before you give up find a better quality guitar and try." Another friend made me a deal on a Baby Martin and I've been moving forward ever since. Thanks for sharing an interesting video.

Saved up a long time for it. It actually accompany me for over 10 years. Though I did change it to nylon strings. The guitar body broke off and I nailed it back. Finally it snapped its neck and I had to say goodbye to it. It's lousy, but a dang classic.

Also many times it saved me when we needed some music to go with some singing at church, yes its a terrible guitar, but was still the best $30 I ever spent! So for what it is, with nylon strings, its amazing.

Hey Chris. Greetings from the UK. This is a great, honest assessment and very insightful. I guess it's just a toy that looks like a guitar but not actually a precision instrument. I reckon so many people started out like this and thought it was their fault that the guitar wouldn't stay in tune. You and Copper always give such valuable advice. Keep up the great work.

For those that like to take a cheap guitar and upgrade, this would be perfect learning project. Change the strings, reinforce the bridge, lower the action take care of the frets ect. Could make it into a decent starter guitar.

God bless you, Chris! I was seriously concerned that a broken string would either cut a finger off or put your eye out. Like everyone told Ralphie, "You'll put your eye out, kid!". But you marched onward and upward like the courageous soldier that you are! :D

I had a guitar like that. I bought it at around 10/11 years old for £8 and 7 years later I decided to actually take it seriously and learn it. The guitar always got out of tune and I always thought that it was my lack of skills. The nylon strings were killing my fingers. I could barely play longer than 10mins because it hurt so bad. Today I sold it (I’m sorry to the person lmao but they looked at it and said they want it so I mean whatever - everyone has a different budget). And today I also ordered my dream guitar. It cost £144. As an 18 year old that was pretty much all my savings and I’m so excited. I know it’s definitely not the best but it’s what I could afford and I’m so excited about it. I genuinely look at it like my dream guitar so wish me luck for when the delivery comes through ;)

*The world needs to see this video* During tune-up it did as I expected, repeatedly. When you mentioned no bracing, and steel strings I was waiting for it to cave in. I'd love to see it a year later, (if it wasn't smashed 1st from in tune and intonation frustrations). I spose you guys see it all the time, every day.

I would consider buying it just to fix it up with the right strings , lower the action etc. I am a violin luthier but play the guitar, ukulele too so have done work on various stringed instruments. Fun review at watch.

There is no truss rod so almost impossible to adjust. This is a Kapok Guitar. You can order the guitar with steel or nylon strings. Lots of guys in Indonesia play these things. For years, as is. Not great. It is what it is.

One of my fears, even after playing for over 5 years, is the strings breaking while tuning. I always hold my face away.

My first guitar was 160 bucks, so four times this amount, but still not too expensive. I've been playing it intensively for 13 years and it still plays incredibly well. Not cheap doesn't have to mean expensive. My guitar teacher recommended anything between 100 and 200 for a first guitar and please don't let it be a Yamaha. Just to be clear, I didn't mean any offense in this comment and I'm sorry if it comes across as such. I don't mean to sound entitled or anything.

I almost had a guitar break on me, when my boss asked me to tune a cheap classical guitar he bought for his grand daughter. The G string actually snapped off the neck (luckily didn't break). The entire time I tuned it, it was making quite aggressive cracking and squeaking sounds. I did get in it tune in the end, but it generally just didn't sound good. You get what you pay for

Wow that guitar sounds awesome! Can't wait to order one from Amazon! Thanks! The blue one sounds the best 💙.

The squinty (FU face) that says I'm going to snap a string is perfect.

10:32 I flinched at that crack too.

The guitar was sent to you in Texas, they sent a Texas size pick. :-)

Great video. The guitar pick comparison is my favorite part of this video! haha! You make many excellent points about the guitar and why it should have nylon strings.

I have this exact guitar. My mom got me this one for Christmas without the box, just the guitar in a big bag. Even though it was my first classical guitar, I knew something was off about it. I asked for another one and she said "that one you have is fine". So yeah I'm gonna show her this video. Edit: if you have any questions about the guitar feel free to ask, but a few things is that it seems poorly made, I have scraped off a section of one of the frets, making it useless, and it constantly needs tuning.

It's obviously not the intention of the video to show any redeeming qualities of the guitar, it's just to shit on something they don't sell themselves and advice you to go buy something over at Alamo Music Center, and advice you something a bit more expensive... "o god my fingers start hurting from the steel strings, i can't find my frets because they're not dotted, by the way i've been playing for years so trust me". Not saying the thing isn't shit, and that a beginner could use side dots, but the dude is clearly laying it on thick so you don't want to buy a $40 guitar.
