The holiday season is coming and kids are starting to put their gift lists together. Many of those lists will include an electric guitar and with that item comes the anxiety of how to pick the right guitar for your child.

Basically, there are two choices: 1) You can purchase a package that has everything you need to get started or 2) you can buy the items separately.

If you unsure whether or not your child will put in the time it takes to learn an instrument like the guitar, you probably want to go the package route, since it is more cost effective. There are several packages available to fit your budget. Packages include a guitar, a small amplifier, a cord, some picks, a strap, a tuner and a video to teach them to play. They range from $99.00 to $199.00.

Once your child is ready to make the sacrifices necessary to learn guitar, you will need to help them make some choices. The first thing to choose is the guitar style. There are two basic styles: solid body and hollow/semi-hollow body. The body style is a matter of taste and most likely your child will be very specific as to what style they want. Manufacturers like Arbor and Dean make a wide variety of guitars to suit every taste at affordable prices.

Your next choice is the amplifier. An underpowered amplifier will have trouble keeping up with other instruments in a band and playing an amp at full volume tends to shorten its life. Purchasing an amplifier of a moderate power between 30-50 watts will serve your child better and can be used for practice as well. RMS offers a number of high quality choices.

Another important choice is the cord. People tend to grab whatever is available but the cord is a very important piece of the setup. It sends the signal from the guitar to the amp and a good one will last longer, whereas a cheap one won’t and would need replacing. Monster is a very popular cable brand that is of the highest quality and comes with a warranty.

Next is a tuner. For the beginner, this will simplify a difficult task. It is absolutely necessary to be in tune in order to sound good. Korg, Sabine and Qwik Tune all make excellent budget priced tuners with a variety of features.

Finally, you will need a strap and picks. The strap is an easy choice because there are so many designs available. For guitar picks, start with medium. Thinner and thicker picks require a special technique that would complicate the learning process. As the young guitarist progresses, they can change the guitar picks they use. You can purchase these in bulk, as they tend to get “lost”. Plus, they are cheaper by the dozen.

Remember, if you want a good sounding guitar, the key is practice. All the expensive equipment in the world cannot make up for a lack of practice.
