Playing the guitar …

Benefits to beginners:

• Suitable for a wide age range - available down to ¼ size (5-6 year old).
• Beginner guitars are very affordable… at Ritz Music we stock a range of the most popular guitars on the market.
• One of the easiest instruments on which to make rapid progress at the early stages.
• An ideal instrument if you prefer to teach yourself; we stock many popular ‘how to play’ books & DVDs.
• Like the piano, the guitar can be ‘it’s own orchestra’ so other musicians are not essential!
• Easily transportable.

But:

• Guitars need regular tuning, so for most beginners an electronic tuner is essential whilst learning.
• Regular string changing/maintenance/servicing is necessary in order to keep the instrument playing well.
