It’s exciting to learn a musical instrument, and the guitar is an excellent choice. It’s an easy instrument to have fun with and a challenge to master. One of the most significant challenges is finding an instrument that won’t break the bank but will reward the student with a pleasant sound. It’s important to consider the neck size and overall size. An instrument that is too large or has a wide neck will add unnecessary difficulty. Finally, the student must decide whether to start with nylon or metal strings. That will limit which instrument can be selected. Guitar World has an easy-to-use site with valuable information. Guitar Fella is another excellent resource.
