That's a tough question! The guitalele fingers just like the guitar except you will be in a different key. You need to take some guitar lessons. Everything you learn about the guitar can be applied to the guitalele. If you have friends who play the guitar, ask them to help you get started. Happy strumming! .....Bill

I tuned mine up to open G-D-G-B-G-G, That way you have a 6 string open chord at every fret. You can then play 3 chord songs by playing the open chord which will be G, the C chord at the 5th fret and the D chord at the 7th fret. That should get you started as most blues and country songs use this progression. A good resource fortunings is Brads page of steel. You can google it for the access to the site. youi

If you know how to use a computer, the game will teach you how to play the guitar. Very simple to understand. Go for it!

There are plenty of apps out there that will allow you to play a song and jam with it with a plugged in instrument. I have used Amplitube (which I hate, loathe and despise, but that's because everytime they update it, they make it less usable). A little research on apps, and various cables would help you. I've given you one app already. With an assumption you want to use a guitar, here's the guitar cable that I use Griffin Technology GuitarConnect Cable for iPhone, iPod, and iPad I have two of them. Don't use the IK Multimedia ones, they are garbage. There are plenty of apps out there that will allow you to play a song and jam with it with a plugged in instrument.

It would be a little wider than the tenor and slightly smaller than a full size guitar. Its a fun little instrument. I suffer from Ukulele acquisition syndrome ( Buying more Uks than I really need) so I play both on a regular bases the Guilele gives you the Uk sound with a guitar feel.Hope that helpsScott

Your welcome, I really like this guitar. I don't think you will be disappointed. Will you be taking lessons? Or are you learning on your own?

My experience was that the guitar is playable out of the box, but can be set-up even better.If yours arrives with rusty strings, when you replace them, take a very fine sandpaper and buff the frets and oil the fretboard with lemon oil. I hope this is helpful, good luck!

Yes it is. I found the strings were nice and low and easier to hit the chords than on my acoustic or classical. If you can get to a music store, most stock them and you can actually try it first. Do a search on guitar center and find the closest one near you. Then go see how it feels.

Yes, this will get you there. There are a bunch of videos included with it starting with the absolute basics of holding and stringing the guitar. Most people don't watch many of them, like me, and just can pick it up and go from there. You can get to be pretty decent just by working through the songs. This has more than what you need to get proficient, aka able to play but not like a pro necessarily

I don't know. I took the strings off and used it for a decorative piece of art. I glued jewelry all over the guitar, and it turned out beautiful. But it seems like it would be an OK guiitar for a beginner.

Sorry, I'm just a beginner guitar player. I definitely don't know how to play a ukulele. So I don't know if you can use with a ukulele. I imagine you could but you may want to ask the vendor of the products. Thanks

I don't have the ability to compare to another guitar but I find the fretboard room enough for me as a beginner. I am not a young beginner and if it were any wider, I would have difficulty stretching enough to make the chords. My son occasionally plays around with it, he is also a beginner, and is always complimenting my guitar set up and feel.

Sorry, I have no idea about guitar at all. I bought this guitar for my wife as a gift. She is a new learner. She says it is a classic guitar. That's all we know about it.

You're buying a $150 guitar, get regular slinky. They help build up some strength. Only worry about the strings when you have a nicer guitar. T

The width of the neck at the nut is 1 7/8" - which is wider than the standard steel string guitars we have but narrower than a nylon strung classical. The real difference is that the scale length is shorter making the the frets closer together and therefore easier for fingering chords. For that reason I prefer the guitalele - I'm retired and this is easier for my hands. Hope this helps.

Not perfect, but very close. I loosened the truss rod about a quarter turn, lowered the bridge a couple turns, and made a tiny adjustment on the bridge to intonate it. If you know how to do that, you can have it playing perfectly in 5 minutes. If not, watch enough youtube videos to figure it, save the $50 a guitar shop would charge you for 5 minutes of work, and it will be just fantastic.

I love my Bristol. I also am an adult female new to guitar. To be honest, there are chords that are difficult for me to play, but I don't think it has anything to do with the guitar. I have heard it is easier to learn to play an electric guitar, I wouldn't know. Good luck!

Hahaha it's a real guitar. I know the price is shocking but it works. I would suggest changing out the strings when you get it though, they are cheap as a peep. Good beginner acoustic though
