Children under 10 may benefit from learning on a nylon string guitar, as it is less severe on their small fingertips. An electric guitar is also an option but remember you will need to pair it up with an amplifier, which increases the cost somewhat.

Meet your tutor
Hi, I'm Kevin McNicholas and I have taught thousands of people, from ages 8 to 80, how to sing and play their favourite songs on guitar.
I have been a working musician for nearly 50 years, and a guitar teacher for most of that time.
I have worked all over the music industry, from retailing records and instruments, directing and producing stage musicals and pantomimes, presenting and producing radio programmes, to gigging solo and with various bands, running a recording studio and co-ordinating a training project for unemployed musicians.
But my first love has always been teaching guitar. I love nothing better than channeling all my experience, passion and skill into making Guitar Made Easy the best it can be – the fast fun and easy way to learn to play guitar.
