Kid Guitars

The most common guitar today is the acoustic guitar. Parents usually buy their kids smaller guitars that they can actually play.   Kids acoustic guitars are about 30 centimeters long and have very thin strings. Adults usually use the average size one which is about a meter long. The nice thing about the acoustic guitar is that is does not have to be connected to a power supply and you can actually carry it when you travel.  There are a number of guitars that fall into the acoustic guitar group. The Flamenco acoustic guitar is similar to the Classical guitar but a little slimmer It produces a crisper sound. A flamenco guitar is a type of guitar, built for the purpose of playing Flamenco music. Flamenco guitar can also refer to toque, the guitar-playing part of the art of Flamenco.  The Classical acoustic guitar is what most beginners choose when they are first learning to play.  It has a modern guitar shape and the individual strings are often plucked with fingers or fingernails instead of using a plectrum.

The Twelve strings acoustic guitar has twelve strings, (not surprisingly) producing a richer and more ringing tone than the standard six string guitar.  This guitar has a natural chorus effect because of the subtle differences in string timbre.   Finally the Resonator acoustic guitar produces a sound by one or more metal cones or resonators instead of the wooden soundboard. A resonator guitar is usually played by blues guitar players.  One has many options of which to choose when deciding to play acoustic guitar.
