Which Guitar Style Should I Learn?
To match your musical passions, there are several different guitar families to represent different musical genres.
About Different Guitar Styles
The Classical Guitar is the guitar of choice for those who love the classical guitar repertory. It is a wooden instrument with nylon strings.
The Steel String Guitar is also an acoustic guitar. However, it has steel strings for a much brighter and louder sound. It has become popular as an important instrument for blues, country, bluegrass and folk music styles.
The Electric Guitar (and Bass Guitar) consists of a solid, relatively heavy body with thick metal strings. It can produce an infinite variety of sounds, sound effects, and sound volumes by electronic amplification and distortion. Rock, Pop, Heavy Metal, and anything in between and beyond thrives on the electric guitar.
The Jazz Guitar is a hollow-body guitar with an arched top (archtop body), steel strings, and electronic amplification. As the name suggests, it is the guitar of choice for playing jazz.
There is SO MUCH to explore when it comes to playing the guitar.

-
What age should a child start guitar lessons?
Most children start between ages 7 and 9. Younger children sometimes start on a 1/2- or 3/4-size guitar. Ukulele is a great alternative for ages 5–7 who want to start earlier — and it transfers naturally to guitar later.
-
Acoustic or electric — which should a beginner start on?
Either works. Electric is easier on small fingers (lighter strings, lower action) and lets students play recognizable music quickly. Acoustic builds finger strength faster. The best instrument is the one the student actually wants to pick up and play daily.
-
Do we need a guitar at home?
Yes. For beginners, a well-set-up nylon-string classical or small-body acoustic is fine. For electric, a basic Squier or Yamaha starter pack works. We can recommend a setup that fits the student's size and budget at the trial.
-
How long does it take to learn guitar?
Most students can strum a handful of open chords and play recognizable songs within 6–8 weeks. Lead and fingerstyle develop over 1–2 years. Fluency comes from daily 15–30 minute practice plus weekly lessons.
-
Can guitar students perform?
Yes — every student is invited to our semester recitals on our Recital Hall stage.
-
Can I take ABRSM exams for classical guitar at CFMA?
Yes — see our ABRSM page. Classical guitar is one of the ABRSM Practical and Performance Grade instruments.
