No. You can start on either an electric or acoustic.

There is no specific guideline but from our experience if the pupil applies themselves it will not take longer than two months to strum a few tunes and licks.

The lesson will be specifically catered for the pupil’s musical needs. We use our trademarked Musical Quadrant to plan your pathway to Guitar Excellence and then we use our trademarked Players Practice Diary to keep you on track and track your results.

You may buy a guitar or any other musical equipment directly from our exclusive online store. This includes FREE delivery for orders over a certain amount.
