Guitar Bundle
Purchasing Your First Guitar
Learning to play guitar is well worth the time and effort. Of course, one has to figure out where to start. A bit of knowledge about the components of a guitar and the overall concept of songs is a good place to start. After that, you are going to need a guitar to learn on. In this article, we look at the type of guitar you should buy and why.
The first thing to understand is quality equates to price. Would you buy a Ferrari for a teenager learning to drive? Of course, not. Why? Because they are bound to thrash the thing and that is a huge waste of money. The same lesson can be applied to your first guitar. It is going to take a beating. You want something with a nice sound, but don’t want to spend a bundle. You can buy something nice when you get the hang of things.
So, how do you go about buying a solid starter guitar? The answer is actually not all that simple. No beginner really knows what they are doing, so the best first step is often to get help. Salesmen in music stores are like salesmen anywhere, so avoid them. Instead, give some thought to whether anybody you know plays. If you know someone, they can go to the store with your and make a recommendation. Actually, they’ll often have a guitar they will just give you!
What if you don’t know anyone? Then you are going to have to rely on some independent third party source. I’m as credible as anyone, so let me make some suggestions. The Martin LX1 is a good choice. Why? It is a ¾ size guitar, relatively cheap and Martin is an excellent brand. The smaller size is particularly helpful when learning scales and such until you become coordinated. You’ll pay between $250 and $300. You might check on Craiglist or eBay for used ones that are cheaper.
The Yamaha FG700S is another solid selection. It is a full size acoustic guitar and is pretty much the classic acoustic guitar you probably picture when the term is mentioned. This is not a top end guitar in my opinion, but it will give you solid performance for the price. You can pick them up new for $200 to $250 or, again, try to find used ones for much less.
Purchasing your first guitar can be a bit stressful, but don’t let it be. You just want something basic that sounds alright. Whatever you do, don’t spend a bundle because your playing will be more likely to make cats run away than groupies flock to you!

I bought the Guitar Bundle for Guitar Hero on the Wii in the USA, will it work in the UK?
The guitar bundle not the actual game because I know that wouldn't work
Yeah it's just a controller, it works fine. You can even get the game to work region free with softmodding too.
