Good evening everyone,

As the title says, I'm just starting out on the journey to learn guitar, and whilst I have around maybe 6/8 hours a week I can commit to doing this, I'm at that time shortly after separating from the wife, growing bored, and sick of moping, so I jumped in.

Anyhow. My question is to do with practicing, and noise thereof.

I was thinking of buying a Yamaha silent electro-acoustic as a back up to practice banging out cords in the evening/nights without upsetting the household, I have the kids!

With this in mind, should I invest circa 700 quid and go for a full blown version, or should I, as a friend suggested, normally he's full of not so useful crap, and just buy an eight string silent Ukulele which are around 500 pounds cheaper.

Personally, I think he was taking the *iss, but then again he could have a point, and the advice online is pretty sketchy to say the least.

In the absence of a yes on either, does anyone have any decent suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any advice and assistance you can offer.

JJ

    Why not just get an electric and play through headphones or unplugged at night? – dissemin8or Feb 24 '21 at 22:48
  • Although this site doesn't make equipment recommendations, you might find some helpful information here: [How do you identify a good acoustic guitar?](https://music.stackexchange.com/questions/1496/how-do-you-identify-a-good-acoustic-guitar). It's a bit tangential to your question, but might provide some helpful insights. – Aaron Feb 24 '21 at 22:51
  • Honestly, I didn't think of the 100% electric option! The guitar I bought was a nice spanking new carbon Lava Roundback, I thought if I spent some money on it it'll be a good motivator, but I do see your point. I'm sure to be back as I can think of a few other questions I have, but as with all things, one step, or chord, at a time! Thanks...... – user75407 Feb 24 '21 at 23:08
