Getting started with guitar? Here are some things you’ll need!

 
 
 
 

For the young beginner, ages 6-9, I recommend purchasing the Cordoba Protege series half-size guitar. Despite its small size, this guitar has a great sound, and the nylon strings are ideal for beginners.

 
 
 
 

I recommend that all my guitar students utilize a foot stool when they practice. It helps maintain correct posture and ensure that the guitar is in the correct position for left hand placement.

 
 
 
 

While not an absolute necessity, a clip-on tuner can make the process of tuning the guitar much easier, especially if younger students don’t have immediate access to a phone or tablet with a tuning app. This one is reliable and easy to use.
