We’ve got the solution. Here’s a video that provides the basics on what to look for when choosing your first guitar or bass, whether you’re going for an acoustic or an electric. It covers common terminology and some of the technical details you need to know, such as the types of wood and other materials you’ll come across as you’re shopping — even how to choose the instrument that best matches your height and body shape. Guitars also come in many different shapes and sizes, and this video describes them all, along with the kinds of things you can do to maintain your new axe and make it easier to play.
