Buying your first Guitar: Top Tip

Click Here!

When you buy a new guitar, most people find that it is not how they imagined. You might think you get it home, sit down with it on your lap and start playing. Corect? Ok, this is what I thought too. However you might find that once you try to hold down a chord the strings are too darn tight. After having this happen to me a number of times, I now think it is best to take the guitar too a reputable music shop and ask them to “lower the action”. They will happily do this for a reasonable fee and boy is it worth it! The strings will now be closer to the fret board, easier to hold down when making a chord and the strings will stay in-tune for longer, Bargain! This is great advice for first-time guitarists especially. The easier the guitar is to play the more you will practice. If you don’t get the action lowered it will hurt your fingers when you try to play and this is the reason a lot of new guitars end up in the attic gathering dust. And we don’t want that guys!
