In order to start learning how to play the guitar you need a good beginner guitar package.  Here are my recommendations:

Acoustic Package:

Fender DG8

Acoustic Guitar

Package

Here’s a complete Fender acoustic outfit including a Fender DG8 acoustic guitar with a Nato body and Spruce top. The DG8 also features a Rosewood fingerboard and chrome die-cast tuners. This package has everything you need to get started and to keep playing! The included accessories consist of an automatic chromatic tuner, a gig bag, strings, picks and a special Fender® 5-language DVD featuring over 3 hours of instruction and a Fender factory tour.

Of course now that you have the guitar bug, you will need a guitar and some lessons. If you haven’t checked out my reviews for guitar courses, please do. Be sure to subscribe to my free newsletter my blog’s rss feed.  Look for my review on the best guitars for beginners coming soon.
