Absolutely! Adults who play 6 string guitar for years , are getting into the 3 string cigar box guitar . My gosh ! It's FUN !
Thank you for the string link! I have the mini in red for my boys. They love it and it’s definitely a fun and well constructed introduction to playing guitar.
Thank you for this video! It’s been enlightening and helpful!
Great video Jeremy!
Love many things about this video. I have two granddaughters that I want to introduce music to them. The oldest now five, we have been working on the uke. These look promising. The other thing I really love is the drift wood you have the guitars hanging on. Now that is cool ! Thank you for all your videos. They are helpful and enjoyable
Awesome, I'm getting one for each of my 2 girls.
I was made to play oboe as a kid, and as a result I still run away classical music. My kids chose their own instruments, and both are pretty good at multiple instruments of different kinds. Both had piano and a great teacher who let them discover and play and who made the theory fun. Play and discovery are important, but you do also need something to work on. Lots of music in the house all the time.
I have the pro 6 string and the fret ends had to be filed or they would have cut my kids hands and definitely goes out of tune quickly. I think a min strat is the right choice in artic white and may be my next choice. My 8 year old loves my 3/4 size Ovation Trekker, its an oldy but a goody.
My brother is a music teacher and guitar player, he uses ukulele as an easy intro instrument. Theyre great for kids
Best piece of advice I’ve ever received. Take notice of their bend. Then, support it.
For under $150 id buy any normal size yamaha or the travel size yamaha or baby taylor, that will actually play well and stay in tune, not to mention have good quality build to them. They also come with gig bags
Thanks for this video! I am considering buying the loog pro electric for my son. Do you know the types of strings for this one?
I bought one of these for my kids they love it! I’ve been teaching them chords, and they really like the app. I’d say worth the $ to get them interested.
You suggest the Martin m260, do you see any issue with the m160 set? Much cheaper for these in Australia. Cheers
Thank you so much for tip on changing the strings and what strings to use, my child’s guitar sounds so much better.
P.S.
any tips on what strings to use for the Loog electric fender telecaster 😊
Was excited to get the Mini for my 3 yr old and I was going to get one for myself so we could learn together but it sounds like this is not the way to go? Do you guys have any other ideas
The Cordoba 'Coco' guitar is a nice little guitar for older kids looking to try it out. I think it's around $130-140.
Some adults love it too, haha.
I bought one for my five year old granddaughter last year. She loves it, but it does not stay in tune. At all. Impossible to actually teach her to play. Open to suggestions
Have you gotten better strings, tuners?
Quick question, I have a hand injury that makes it so when I use my ring and pinky fingers it is painful, would this guitar be good for an adult who can only use thumb, index and middle fingers? I worry about the size being an issue for me..
I think so. It would be pretty fun.
Squier mini strat or mini jazz master
I'ma say.... Uke harmonica kazoo xylophone... For the uke... Waterman, cheap and tough.
Even my cheap uke holds tune once the strings settle
Hello! Not sure if you’re still checking comments on this post, but I was wondering if you would say the 6 string is worth it? I just picked one up on Amazon open box for $108 for my 8 year-old-son to start guitar lessons. After I purchased I heard his music teacher recommended a Yamaha mini, so I’m thinking of sending it back. What do you think, keep it or get the Yamaha? He does love the color of the Loog more 🤷♀️
It's okay. My kids have played on these but the 6 string seems to be the least musical. It doesn't have good intonation
Thank you for the reply, that’s what I needed to know! I think I will return it and go for the Orangewood Mini Dana, which is only about $10 more than what I paid and has some pretty good reviews 😊
Do you still recommend these? Did changing the strings make a difference?
Yes, I changed the strings and they are much better. They are still just a notch or two above toys.
not that I am an expert in parenting or anything, but my wife and I play multiple instruments and expose our child to music daily, he's sixteen and pretends to not care about music, we have guitars and ukuleles and banjos lying around and music is playing all the time and he pretends to not care then occasionally he'll mention a Bowie album or Brian Eno, and I am like oh so you like Brian Eno, and then he'll deny it, and so on and so forth. conversely I teach music to other kids and when I ask what kind of music they play or hear at home and most often they shrug and say I don't know or worse nothing, the ones that shrug will never grow to be musicians or artists because they just don't have the exposure and therefore won't develop an interest let alone develop the discipline required to become an accomplished musician. you can point a kid to music but you can't make that kid play. so far as what a kid can learn merely from the tactile experience of holding a sound box and making a noise: the kid can learn a lot from that and I encourage more. you could get your kid a Barbie doll or a GI Joe doll or a ukulele.
Great looking guitars…but I honestly think the small one is over priced.
"Like a ukulele, it does not stay in very good tune for very long" kind of brings the rest of your opinions into serious suspect for me. If your uke is a $50 toy, then yes that's true. Even a middle-grade ukulele barely $150 will stay in tune extremely reliably.
Then these are like cheap ukulele. Sorry paint with a broad brush, these are a few ticks better than toys. Overall, they're not what I'd hoped
@@JeremySheppard That's truly unfortunate to hear. They looked like an interesting add to a collection.
And sorry for being testy, that wasn't my best behavior.
Why not just buy your kid a ukulele?
Chinese junk for kids and $150! No way
What's the next best option?
Buy them a 300 dollar Chinese I-pad
@@JeremySheppard my son is super tiny. He's 6 but about the size of an average 3 year old. He wanted to play guitar like me and could not for the life of me find one small enough for him. This is the first time I've heard of loog but after searching for hours and hours I found and purchased him an ibanez piccolo. Awesome little 6 string the size of a tenor ukulele. Just curious if you've ever tried one out? If not you definitely should. Perfect for small kids. Nut width is a little wide for small kids hands. Only downside I can think of
Ibanez piccolo. Tenor uke size 6 string guitar. 179 bucks! Super durable Perfect for small kids!!
@@JeremySheppard You call yourself a guitar hunter, so hunt American.
There are several other options. You don't have to shill for china.
I think it would be better to tune it from the low end with an E A D. Easier to play bar chords and get the kids ready for a 6 string. I have an expensive Uke that I tune D G B E and shred on though but for kids E A D seems a better choice.
