I got this junior guitar from ChordBuddy for review and my kids are delighted especially the little Miss who immediately said "I want to try it!" This is a real guitar , only that it is designed for little musicians who wants to start their skills early on. The set includes 1/2 size guitar, songbook, DVD, guitar tuner, and the chord buddy jr.
If you are a regular reader of my blogs, you probably read in my previous post that my daughter wants a guitar that we saw at the Center for Music & Arts. The reason, we haven't buy her one yet is because the guitar instructor there said that she is too young to start, that the guitar is too big for her body built. Well, that issue is resolved with this ChordBuddy Junior guitar. Kids can learn rhythm and timing, ear training, and build finger strength and dexterity. This guitar is appropriate for 4 years old and up.
What I like about this kit is that, kids can easily learn the basic keys with it's chord buddy that you can attached on the string. The chord buddy has different color that makes it easier for the kids to remember what keys they have to put their fingers on.
The guitar picks are great addition to the kit as your fingers won't hurt when you strum the strings. I remember when I first learn how to strum a guitar, my fingers would be so sore as I didn't use a pick. It's funny that my daughter was kidding at me when I played this guitar, I got tempted hahaha. It's been a while since I last played a guitar and I can't even remember what I have learned before.
This guitar tuner is great because there is an indication when your strings are out of tune already. The kit comes with two batteries which is really nice. Tuning your guitar is easier with this tuner because there is a green light that indicates that your string is tuned up.
The kit also comes with a songbook and a DVD that you can watch for tutorials. Our daughter immediately sat down and watched it.
Before having this guitar, she plays piano right away as soon as she gets home from school but ever since we got this guitar, she immediately get it and play a tune or two. I thought for sure that our son would be all over this guitar since he is not into piano but I was wrong. I think my little man is so scared of trying thinking that he will not be good at it. He love to sing and dance but he hasn't shown any interest of playing music instrument. Maybe it will change when he grow up though.

ReplyDeleteI wish that too. My grandfather had different music instrument but we weren't allowed to touch them.
Deletenice, good for you rye .. Good luck... with perseverance i;m sure you will learn easily
ReplyDeleteThanks sis, yep she is persistent when it comes to learning new things.
DeleteOh that is so awesome. My little man just asked me the other day he wants a guitar too because they are learning it at school. It would be nice if my kids would learn some musical instruments.
ReplyDeleteYou should get one of this for starter for Harley sis. It is really a good one to learn.
DeleteWe've been looking for one just like this!!! Hubby bought our little girl a guitar two Chrismases ago but she hasn't been able to use it coz it's too big and heavy for her. I got her a small ukelele instead just so she could practice strumming. I wonder is chord buddy ships to the Philippines.
ReplyDeleteHI Mommy Olga, same thing with us. Our daughter asked us if we could buy her a guitar since last year but we hold off because the instructor said that she is too small to learn a guitar. Glad that Chordbuddy makes this junior sizes ones.
DeleteA complete set for your Miss Burrito, really awesome to learn, and with DVD/song book. How I wish to learn..the guitar..
ReplyDeleteYes it is awesome, I even like using it myself, the kid at heart in me kicked in as soon as I saw it lol.
DeleteYour daughter is awesome being passionate in music instruments.. in her age she will surely become very skillful in time :) keep up girl ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Alma. I am very surprised because I thought for sure my son would be the one to get interest in these instruments as he love to sing and dance, where our daughter doesn't like singing. She can sing but she said that if she can play music without singing, she'll be fine lol.
Deleteyou are very blessed to have such a gifted child, sis. way to go Ms Burrito! music is a good therapy, keep on playing music instruments.
ReplyDeleteI agree sis, it is a very good therapy for our mind and soul.
DeleteWhat a nice guitar you got for your daughter. I wish I know how to play the guitar. Good for your daughter, she learn how to play it at a very young age.
ReplyDeleteShe still have to learn a lo=t of things about playing a guitar but this is a good start. Thanks LIsa.
DeleteWow, that's nice! It like the whole set since it's complete! May guitar na, may mga song book and dvd pa and more. :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree. You don't have to buy separate things that you need in order to play a guitar. This is really an awesome kit.
DeleteWow, your girl is so talented, mommy Rose! I hope to see a video of her playing her guitar.
ReplyDeleteI will upload the video soon, I just don't have enough time to do that just yet.
DeleteReally an artist in the making sis. :) I hope she continues to learn how to strum the guitar. My daughter had hot pants cold feet with her own guitar. One moment, she likes to strum and another minute, she can't stand it. Hayyyyy
ReplyDeleteHahaha part of adolescence maybe sis. I am sure she will go back to her passion in playing it. She might just be very busy right now.
DeleteNice! Even the size of it is perfect for little hands. What a talented little girl you have, sis.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. It is designed just for little strummers.
DeleteThat's wonderful, wow and congratulations for getting a nice instrument for your little one, that would be the best way for them to learn how to play guitar.
ReplyDeleteYes it is, I am glad ChordBuddy partnered with me for this, I am so grateful!
Deletethat is a good guitar for starters, my youngest son used it also when he was just starting to learn the guitar :)
ReplyDeleteLucky are the kids these days, aren't they, Joy?
Deletethat is a good guitar for starters, my youngest son used it also when he was just starting to learn the guitar :)
ReplyDeleteI wish I could have learn playing this when I was younger lol

ReplyDeleteI hope so Ate Betchai, thanks!
DeleteThat's so nice that she has the interest to learn. Keep up the good work, little Miss Burrito.= :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah I am glad that she is into it. I hope that she continue to nourish her music interest.
DeleteWow! that's a good deal for Ms. Burrito. I don't play any instrument, hoping my little one would be interested in playing any kind of instruments.
ReplyDeleteYou can try to introduce your little girl with this kit Mommy Mhie, she might be good at it.
Deletewhew, I wish I had this kind of guitar when I was your daughter's age! I love that it comes with a video tutorial and that it fits perfectly into little fingers! Ms. Burrito as always is such a pretty pretty model :)
ReplyDeleteI wish the same Doc Zen but my wish came true even now that I am o,ld hahaha. I can still learn by using this one, oh diva hehehe.
Deletehow cool right? now akesh and rye can do a concert together...lol!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, a concert would be great, tayo lang audience weeee.
DeleteI love songs played only by guitar. It's like hearing music with depth and spirit. How I wish I can play someday but I guess, I'm too old to learn. Your daughter is young and curious. she has a long way to master the craft with her new junior guitar from Chord Buddy.
ReplyDeleteIt's never too old to learn sis. MY kids were giggling when I took it and started strumming hahahga.
DeleteMs. Burrito is on her right age to learn guitar. With your encouragement and support, she definitely will do just fine/
ReplyDeleteYes, she is in the right age where she has patience to sit and learn things like this.
DeleteMs. Burrito is beautiful Sis Rose :-) She is rocking that guitar so well. I cannot wait to receive mine as well :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little guitar! I am sure your musically talented kids will enjoy it.:)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves it, our son is a bit intimidated lol.
DeleteI bet this is the easiest way to learn how to play guitar for beginners, i'm sure your daughter is thrilled that she doesn't need to go to a class just to learn this one is just great.
ReplyDeleteYes she is, she could not even wait for me to open it, she immediately opened the box by herself lol.
DeleteDefinitely a wonderful gift for our kids who loves music. That looks like of great quality too and I can tell just by the price alone :)
ReplyDeleteYes it is a great kit for beginners, you should get your kids too.
DeleteOh my gosh! That is so amazing that this is built for kids. My little man the other day asked me if I could get him a guitar. Because recently at schoo, they have been playing some musical instruments and he has been interested in learning how to play the guitar. Wish I could get one like this.
ReplyDeleteThe price isn't that bad Mommy, I think you should get Harley one.
DeleteMy kids and I love the chordbuddy too! Good job Ms. B for learning another instrument :)
ReplyDeleteI see that even you enjoyed it sis. I do like strumming it myself lol.
DeleteYay! So happy Ms. Burrito has one, too! Triz got one as well! Or maybe, this will be Tiara's, since Triz already has hers. LOL. The size is perfect for the Ate though. I love it myself, as well! :D
ReplyDeleteThat's nice that both of your kids has each a guitar.
DeleteI think my son would love this. I will have to check it out more. Great tool!
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly, I bet he would, check them out!
DeleteA perfect learning tool. Better teach them early, right? :)
ReplyDeleteI nominated this new blog, but at least 20 posts in Top Emerging Blog of 2014.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter would love to have guitar. She's been asking me already to buy a guitar since her music teacher used guitar in their classroom.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I've been wondering about this for my son.
