Electric guitar
As an electric guitar student, it may be your intention in the future to play
in a band. While electric guitar courses here at the Stephan Tan School
of Music are available, openings are very limited. However, if you are a
beginner and wish to learn to play the electric guitar, it is often
recommended that you learn the basics on an acoustic guitar first.

Acoustic guitar
All six strings of the acoustic guitar are steel, and the strings are placed
slightly closer together than those of a classical guitar. If your goal as a
guitar student is to learn to play various chord progressions and
perhaps even learn to sing while playing, then an acoustic guitar may
be for you. Although its construction makes it ideal for chord strumming,
finger-picking intricate melodies is certainly possible on an acoustic
guitar.

Classical guitar
Easily identified by the nylon strings and by the slightly
wider spacing of the strings. Students are able to proceed
through the RCM method as a classical guitarist. It is the
most challenging of guitar types, but its study yields some
of the greatest rewards as some of the world's most
beautiful music is written for the classical guitar.
