Yesssss! You are giving me so much inspiration! What do you suggest? Finding the guitar first or finding the teacher?

(Smiling) I’m so glad to hear that. Hmmm, honestly, you can’t go wrong either way. If you’ve found a good teacher who’s willing to help you select a guitar that fits you, that’s great.

Guitars are kind of like trying on shoes. You have to play it for a bit and see how it feels. Is it comfortable? Too big? Too small? Is it hard to press the strings? How does it sound to you? Those kinds of things matter.

In my case, I actually got the guitar first, then found a teacher. Guitar Center offers free consultations, so you can meet with an instructor and see if their teaching style and vibe match what you’re looking for.

Hope that helps!
