What you Need For Class

Important !

 

 

For our beginning class you will need an easy to play quality 6 string guitar. If you have not purchased your guitar from the Golden Ring you will need to bring it in WHEN YOU REGISTER to make sure it is acceptable for this class !, It needs to have fairly new strings, be easy to tune, and have low action. In our opinion Most Department store guitars such as “First Act” and others are NOT acceptable for this class. If you have any questions about this call ahead !!
