Guitars
Picking the right guitar for your child is critically important to the success of their study. A
strings into the correct notes. If you want to get them started as early as possible, get them a
ukulele. They can learn the basic chords on an instrument more suited to their size.
The first question that you want to ask is what type of guitar your child wants to play. Most kids gravitate toward
acoustic guitar and see if they're willing to stick with it before you make a bigger investment.
In general, when it comes to guitars you get what you pay for. Cheap guitars are often poorly constructed, difficult to play, and sound like two cats fighting. Children become hooked on playing when they start learning familiar songs. If the guitar sounds distorted and goes out of tune too easily, your child will be disappointed with their progress. Prepare to pay between $200 and $400 for your child's first instrument.
If you are planning to buy a guitar on-line, make sure the company you're buying from has a good return policy. A lot of guitar playing is about the feel of an instrument and if something feels off when you first sit down to play it, you want to make sure you can find something more fitting to your child's needs.
Finally, nothing is more valuable to a first-time buyer than consumer feedback. Take a look at the various review sites and read what other buyers have to say. It could make the difference between a guitar your child falls in love with and one that winds up tagged at your next yard sale.
