Best Electric Beginner Guitar

The Fender Squire Bullet Stratocaster is a truly great beginner electric. It has a super slick action and the three pickups combine and mix well with the 3 body mounted way switch.

Sound capability is of course dependent on the addition of an amplifier and we have picked out a couple of great Combo’s which we have found perform well with this guitar.

A word of warning: Try and avoid Guitar and Amp bundles. In our experience the Amplifiers in these packages rarely deliver value for money.

Best Practice & Small Gig Amplifier

The Marshall MG series Amplifiers have gone a long way to finally breaking the Stigma attached to transistor Amplifiers.

Today many icons in the world of lead guitar have been won over by the new breed of Amplification and converted to solid state.

Lets be quite clear here. The MG series cannot fully emulate the monster valve effect, no way. But it has moved the goal posts a damned site nearer, and you do not pay a fortune to get it.

I have to say with the MG30CFX Marshall have pulled out another winner, and though I use mine purely for studio and home, it would certainly hold it's own in a small venue.

Prepare to be Amazed!

The Modern Way

In days long past the traditional method of learning to play the Guitar meant a visit to a private tutor, as was the case with any instrument.

Now far be it for me to knock private tutors, after all I am one of the very same, but in many cases the system falls down. For example, you may have to travel a long way to get your tuition, and you will definitely have to fall in line with the tutors time table.

Private tuition is also relatively expensive, and sometimes there can be a clash of personalities. I can honestly say today that being paired with the wrong Piano teacher (many years back) not only put me of the Ivory keys, it also nearly destroyed my love of music. Thankfully, soon after my love affair with the Guitar began and I have never looked back.

Today, I'm glad to say that with the introduction and development of modern technology there is simply no need for any budding musician to suffer the same fate and miss out.
