Buying Guides For Guitars, Bass Guitars, Keyboards, and Drums

Making the transition from wanting to play an instrument to buying an instrument can be really hard. These buying guides will help you make that transition.

First, you have to decide what type of instrument you want to play. This page [Page under construction] will give you some tips on how to determine what instrument you want to play. This step is the hardest, as the choice ultimately boils down to a lot of individual factors that only you can decide. I can, however, guide your thinking so that you can make the best decision on what you want to play.

After this critical step it becomes much easier. There will still be some choices you'll have to make, but it becomes a lot easier to decide because you've now limited your choice to a much smaller range of instruments.

Before you begin, though, I want to advise you not to buy the cheapest equipment you can find. In fact, I don't recommend entry level equipment for most people. So, before you go any further, please read "Why You Shouldn't Buy an Entry Level or Beginner Instrument."
