Best guitar for old people

Here are some ideas:

Consider getting a 12-fret (6-string) steel-string guitar, which means that the neck meets the body at the 12th fret, rather than the more common 14th fret.

Why does that matter? The shorter scale length results in lower string tension, which means it’s easier to do chords!

Many 12-fret guitars have a sexy stylish open-slot headstock! ❤️

Almost all major brands have them, and consider Alvarez as a starting point!

Then for strings, get smaller diameter strings as they have lower tension.

Then, even lower string tension can be found on nylon string guitars. Consider Yamaha Crossover models and Cordoba Fusion models. I have the latter and love it!

For nylon strings, avoid carbon strings as they are higher tension generally. Get nylon such as DAddario EJ-43 that are low-tension “light” strings. Yet, any nylon string of normal/medium tension is lower than a steel string.

This is the acoustic sub, yet please know that an electric guitar is very easy to play.

Play on! Keep making music and play what you love 🎵 🕊️ ☮️

Is it a bad idea to learn on a parlor?

I’ve been learning to play for around a month now on this parlor guitar, and I didn’t realize that there was an actual difference between the two in terms of difficulty. Do you think it’s a bad idea for me to continue learning on parlor as I likely will one day play with a full sized one? Is the difference in how hard you need to push really that severe?
