    • ]]>     For learning new songs and practice between band rehearsals I use my Tascam MP-GT1 MP3 Guitar Trainer. This walkman-sized unit is built to last having an aluminum back and sides and contains a 1Gb memory for storing up to around 240 songs in MP3 format.

    Its easy to upload songs and put together a playlist to practice before a gig. The songs can be speeded up & slowed down and the key & tuning can be changed. A guitar tuner and a good selection of digital fx are built-in. I only use the fx on mine if I am playing guitar. As I play bass through it most often I don’t use the fx as it sounds good without needing any for bass. A bass specific version is also available, the MP-BT1, however this was not available when I bought my MP-GT1.

    • ]]>     At this time of year a lot of people decide learn to play guitar and often ask advice on what to buy for a complete beginner.

    For a new instrument I don’t think its possible to get a better deal for the price than the Yamaha F310 Acoustic Guitar Pro Pack.

    Yamaha F310The guitar is a basic, but good quality electro-acoustic with steel strings and as it is a full size instrument it is suitable for adults and older children. Electro-acoustic means that there a built-in pickup with volume and tone controls to enable playing through an amplifier or for recording. The package contains everything you need to start playing including a guitar stand, soft case, strap, instruction DVD, pleckies, spare strings and an electronic tuner.

    If only something like this was available when I started playing.
