I started with the basics and learned what actually mattered, so this beginner-friendly kit brings together about 12 essentials—from guitar, amp, cable and tuner to strap, picks and practice extras. Ive curated it as a practical path from first setup...
When it comes to starting you dont need the most expensive equipment, you just need to start playing and this guitar is exactly for that
Fender California Acoustic Guitar
If you want to start with an electric here's my top recommendation, of course it depends of the style and sound that you are looking for, but the strat will always be an iconic starter guitar
Squier Sonic Stratocaster Electric Guitar
This amp is not the most advanced, but for starting is one of the best, has effects already loaded from the start, and is not that loud (if you have complaining neighbors or family), if you dont care about that you can always max it as it should be
Fender Mustang Guitar Amp
If you get a little bit more advanced, this is a MUST, effects are one of the best friends of a guitarrist. This one is begginer friendly and a lot of guitarrists have started with one
Zoom G1X Guitar Multi-Effects Processor With Expression Pedal
My personal favorite for picks, just so comfortable and great for everyday use
Jim Dunlop Jazz III Pick Variety Pack - 6 Pack
Metal capo, why metal? because I found that most of plastic capos that Ive owned are broken
Metal Capo
I will sound crazy, but having the guitar in a stand makes you play more
Guitar Stand
I have tried many brands over the years, Elixir is the best, they dont wear as much overtime
Elixir Strings
Pick one, whatever you like
Guitar Strap
Cable for connecting guitar
Instrument Cable
Tune in 5 seconds before anyone notices. Best if you’re learning alone. Skip if your amp has a built-in tuner you already use.
Snark ST8 Clip-On Guitar Tuner
Standing practice without killing your shoulder. Skip if you only sit.
