That $37 pink guitar is perfect for my 2 year-old granddaughter to play with, and to drag on the floor behind her while walking, and to sit on when she gets tired of walking.
Naah, instead of this you can buy decent(at least it will be properly working insturment) ukulele with same price. She can sit on it after really playing. This is exactly what i have done for my 3 years old daughter. 10 months later we are actually jamming together, if it is really called jamming :)
@@savvvymavvy4857 I like your idea of a properly working instrument with the ukulele. Nice that your 3-years old daughter playing ukulele actually jams with you for father/daughter music sessions.
6:10 that's exactly what I got my 2 years 10 months daughter to get her started, after she strummed my guitars free-form pretty much from the day she was born. I got her a ukulele and, although even 1-finger chords are still out of her reach, she is inseparable from it and plays it all day long, making up songs and melodies. Needless to say, my wife and I are overjoyed. The great thing is that her elder sister, 6 years old, is now taking a keen interest in music and learning an instrument spurred by a spirit of competition with her little sibling. If the boy who is due in a couple of weeks starts with music as well, we've got a band on.our hands :-D ....
@@snes09 thank you bro, thanks so much. Three months on, the new band member has a healthy pair of lungs who keep the whole family awake at night. He obviously loves to party, so it looks like he will be the lead singer, unfortunately. Funnily enough, one of the few things that calm him down immediately is music, music videos and daddy playing guitar....
The one strap button is actually pretty common for classical style guitars, you have to loop a small “string” around the headstock at the nut and through the peg eyelet on the strap.
Thank you for giving your perspective on this. My dad bought me a really cheap electric guitar when I was 12 and I was really excited to learn guitar. I played that guitar for about a year and made decent progress but nothing ever really sounded good. I eventually gave up playing guitar because I thought that I just wasn’t any good. Now I’m 18 and I bought myself a guitar that actually keeps tune and sounds good and in 3 months I’ve already made more progress than I made in a year on that old cheap guitar. If you’re buying an instrument, buy something that makes you want to play it and not something that discourages your interest in the instrument as a whole.
I fully agree, one of the reasons why I gave up the violin is cuz I had a super cheap one that was a nightmare to tune and couldn't keep the tune for more than 5 minutes it really was trash, I ended up switching instruments getting something decently priced and being 10 time happier.
Holy hell your story and mine are pretty much exactly the same dude, parents brought me one of those budget burnt cherry SGs when i was around 12, it was okay, but obviously back then i had no clue what the guitar actually did have impact on playstyle and how everything sounds by default. I brought myself a proper guitar a year back when i was 17 (a middle of the range acoustic washburn that a friend wanted to just get rid of cheap so i just took the chance) and instantly my interest was reignighted stronger than it ever had been. Honestly its crazy how much a good guitar can make a difference, everything instantly sounded so much better and i progressed so much quicker. Anyway, becuase of this, christmas i invested again, but this time in a fender strat (cant go wrong), was a bit of a hit to my bank, but hell was it worth it. Once again i found it was so much easier to practice and play well. (might also be a factor that im older and more ready to actually put time into it) Its a shame that new players very rarely get to start with a decent guitar, but i think its the path most of us take weirdly, maybe its just part of the course. I think my honest advice for people looking out to start would be to try and get hold of a decent branded BUT 2nd hand guitar if they can, that seems like the best option if its available.
@@tabithaadler857 That's great, I made the mistake of getting one that was like 30 dollars so it was truly trash, I'm glad that you don't have those problems with your instrument.
My son bought me one of those for Christmas a couple years ago. Except mine was blue, heh. He meant it as a joke and so was the guitar. I toyed with the idea of making a clock out of it cause you certainly couldn't play it but I ended up giving it to a thrift store. My apologies to whomever gets that "guitar."

From a guitar tech: You're supposed to stretch bylon strings out for a bit in order for them to keep tune. Also how does does he not know that you're supposed to tie a shoe lace on the headstock if the guitar only has one strap button. Also Also he didn't even set it up so of course it won't play well out the box.
I'd be worried about a string popping and cutting the doggo, but I'm hoping he downed the tuning, way down, before he put it on the floor, and picked the thing back up after the camera shot. We all know that Chinese products are typically poisonous to kids and dogs/cats.
I swear to god I had one of these many many years ago (way before amazon). I got it when I was 5. I started wanting to play at 10 and tried watching a youtube video on how to play iron man. The hunk of questionable "wood" had never been tuned. I was so sure that I was the most terrible guitar player on earth and my fingers were somehow deformed, and ended up doing the only rock move I knew how to do, and went all Pete Townshend on it. It was 2 years later that I learned that A: it's not a real guitar, and B: Iron Man sounds great when the instrument is tuned.

It's not a scam you get what you pay for. A person thinking they could buy a brand new guitar for 37 bucks and it be a playable instrument, well they were kind of asking for it. I get the joke though.
My brother bought a $100 Cort guitar and then immediately gave up trying to learn guitar. I adopted it and it honestly plays and sounds better than my $500 acoustic. I sold it to a buddy for 50 bucks, he lives with a few other friends of mine and they threw alot of parties pre-pandemic and everybody who picks up that $100 Cort doesnt expect much and ate always blown away. Put some Elixir Nanoweb strings on it and it sounds so fricking good lol
4:16 I've felt exactly what you were feeling when I had to tune my first guitar. It even made that exact same sound. It was given to me by my cousin though, so I still keep that guitar around for sentimental value, and got a new one because the neck warped.

@@gamerorion2844 Actually now I have ~100$ guitar, Cort AD810, but my first guitar was older than me(I was born in 2002, guitar was made in 1995), and really cost 7$, even strings I had to put on it were more expensive
$7 Fender ukulele. Walking through Savers (thrift store), I see it on a shelf in the toy area. Not a scratch on it. Get to the register the gal says "oh, I just put that on the shelf".
@Mingue Kwak With guitar that have only one peg, one end/loop of the strap goes on the peg and the other loop is tied to a string which goes around the headstock of the guitar, specifically under the strings at the nut.
Hah! I used to work in a music shop and we had some guitars like that - a customer was looking at one for his daughter, so I told him none of us had even been able to get them in tune. The manager (only non-musician) walked up and tried to sell him one. Customer winked at me when he left the shop 😂
Nylon-string guitars, when they do, usually have one peg: you are supposed to run a lace through one of the strap holes and wrap it around the headstock, under the strings at the nut. That may be the only thing they did right!

Sooo that's why I never had a string snap in my face while I was in guitar class? Neat, I have that to look forward to tommorow when I get my new guitar...
😂😂😂 I only saw this now. I bought this for my (then) 4 year old, now 5 years old, for €28 incl shipping. I know quality isn’t great… Mine was also missing the 2nd strap button. It IS more of a toy than a real guitar, with extremely high action. BUT, my kid loves it; she’s 5, takes it out herself & plays 2-3 times a week. I used nail polish dots on the fretboard to identify 3-5-7, etc. And she now starts playing single notes. I’m currently building her a 1/2 size electric guitar: flip-flop blue-red, with a single splittable humbucker in the bridge, for X-mas. Should be awesome.
if you think that’s bad, when I was 5 I really wanted to play guitar, and so for a gift my mom got me a 20$ toy guitar from toys r us. a few years ago I got curious and wanted to try to learn it. It’s missing a string. It had 5 strings, 4 sounding decent and then one really squeaky one.
I actually cut my finger pretty bad while working a summer job, and i still wanted to practice some guitar with a bandaid on. It's so unnatural feeling and just made me cringe every time I fretted a note
I know it's too late, but I wanted to be another one to make you realize that nylon strings take a while to stay in tune. For me it's usual a day or so after puting them on and tuning up for the first time.
Yeah, that was my first thought. I have a really nice classical-electric guitar, but that thing won't hold a tune through an entire song the first day after changing the strings, and it takes about two weeks for the tuning to settle. Nylon isn't metal.
One of my students started lessons with a similar quality guitar, but with steel strings. Super high action, and no truss rod to adjust. This poor little girl was just starting out with the weak hands and tender fingers of a new player, and she just could not push down the strings. I mentioned getting another guitar to her parents, but they were obviously not gonna do that. She quit playing a couple months later. I was sad, but not surprised.
I have the blue color of this exact guitar. When my sister tried to use it, she really struggled playing it. I don't know how i haven't quit yet or how i managed to play Master of Puppets on this thing.
I actually bought 2 of these for my 2 year old and 4 year old I just mainly want them to proactive holding the guitar and strumming the strings and wanting something where I don’t care if my kids break them or scratch them etc
i dont think you gave those strings enough time to properly stretch, im sure you know that nylons will go out of tune since they have to stretch but personally ive found the cheaper the string the longer you would need to let them stretch. generally i re-tune my classical every 30 minutes to an hour after i get on a new strings on and even then it can take some time before they actually stay tuned. and its always the lower 3 that cause the problem.
Yep. I was choosing my first guitar two months ago and there are options when you can't or don't wanna put much money into it. The cheapest Harley Benton was under 100 € if I recall correctly. Or about the same price used Squier or similar price range guitars that are new for 200-250 €.
I happen to have bought a $20 Ukulele from American Musical Supply (the sponsor of this video) a couple years ago and I love it still. They are a good company.
Most 'cheap' acoustics I've ever played only had the one strap hitch on the bottom of it. We DID have to use a string or shoelace wrapped around the headstock, and looped through the end of the strap if we wanted to strap-up our cheapie guitar.
I learned how to play guitar with a $40 EBay guitar sort of like that one, but it was red. It was like a classical guitar but instead, it had steel strings. Terrible action and super tight strings. Then, about a year and a half into playing, I finally got my second guitar, a Silvertone strat. I improved so much in one day, it felt like magic. I didn’t touch the old one after that, probably for years. When I picked up the old one years later, it would make me question how I even played it for so long.
Imagine a room full of these, this was my life of group guitar teaching for a year! This was the exact guitar every little girl played and they did a blue version.
Yeah it’s definitely in the “toy category”. But! In defense, we bought our son something very similar because he would want to play my guitars as a toddler. So,bought it as a toy for a couple of years, saved my guitars from toddler attacks and kept him busy while I played. Now, he’s 24, quite a good guitarist and a phenomenal drummer! Well worth $30 in my opinion! Haha well, has its place as a toy.
a good starter guitar is the yamaha apx600, its fairly reasonable in price and is at three quarter scale, not to mention its a hybrid so eventually they can get an amp for it, this was my first actual guitar an i am so happy with it
This video's given me strong emotions because my first guitar when I was 13, although full scale, was similarly unplayable, but I thought the problem was me. Can we have a video of you destroying it please?
In some parts or Brazil is very common to walk with an acoustic guitar on your neck, specially on the north west part, people will go around and play something in your ear
it probably did not come with a shoestring however when you buy a strap for an acoustic classical it comes with the string and Daryl Lander I could not agree with you more
Tyler, I could lose so many YEARS of my life watching your amazing videos, and this one is absolutely HYSTERICAL!! So many wonderful laughs, great comments (below) and wonderful memories. Wait, what? A FENDER ukulele?! I need to get out more! And bringing that pink puppy up to tune - how many times I've cringed and turned my head and closed my eyes, wishing for a blast shield while turning the tuning machines, waiting for an explosion and a string whipping or facial lacerations! Probably PTSD from being a toddler trying to open a Jack in the Box for the 50th time, hoping for a different result. Oh my goodness! Puzzled why you don't remember straps sold with a string at one end, to tie behind the nut, under the strings? Super job on this and ALL your priceless videos! Endless thanks!
I've bought a few of those toy guitars . One for my son and another for my grandaughter . It's a good way to see how they will treat the instrument . My son destroyed it . My grandaughter loved it enought to get one a little more expensive .
That never occurred to me and it's basically what my parents did🤣 After spending thousands of dollars myself on gear and playing in many bands I did my best to make them regret not buying that toy briefcase I wanted instead.

I sold it to a buddy for 50 bucks, he lives with a few other friends of mine and they threw alot of parties pre-pandemic and everybody who picks up that $100 Cort doesnt expect much and ate always blown away.
Put some Elixir Nanoweb strings on it and it sounds so fricking good lol

Acoustics do have both pegs
@@alanmora1977 I have had four different acoustics and only one had both pegs.
Yeah was thinking the same thing
@@AnAmericanComposer that goes to show how varied acoustics are. I have two with both pegs and have never seen one with just one peg.
@Mingue Kwak With guitar that have only one peg, one end/loop of the strap goes on the peg and the other loop is tied to a string which goes around the headstock of the guitar, specifically under the strings at the nut.
Hah! I used to work in a music shop and we had some guitars like that - a customer was looking at one for his daughter, so I told him none of us had even been able to get them in tune. The manager (only non-musician) walked up and tried to sell him one. Customer winked at me when he left the shop 😂
Nylon-string guitars, when they do, usually have one peg: you are supposed to run a lace through one of the strap holes and wrap it around the headstock, under the strings at the nut. That may be the only thing they did right!
You also find that on a few steel string acoustics
But why? Does it kill buzz or somethin?
@@tyshred9251 there’s no real reason it’s just because originally guitars didn’t have straps also I think it might stop neck dive because acoustic bodies are just hollow boxes

They use a strap that hooks into the sound hole. Now I know why.

I only saw this now.
I bought this for my (then) 4 year old, now 5 years old, for €28 incl shipping.
I know quality isn’t great… Mine was also missing the 2nd strap button.
It IS more of a toy than a real guitar, with extremely high action.
BUT, my kid loves it; she’s 5, takes it out herself & plays 2-3 times a week.
I used nail polish dots on the fretboard to identify 3-5-7, etc. And she now starts playing single notes.
I’m currently building her a 1/2 size electric guitar: flip-flop blue-red, with a single splittable humbucker in the bridge, for X-mas. Should be awesome.

if you think that’s bad, when I was 5 I really wanted to play guitar, and so for a gift my mom got me a 20$ toy guitar from toys r us. a few years ago I got curious and wanted to try to learn it. It’s missing a string. It had 5 strings, 4 sounding decent and then one really squeaky one.
Those finger guards are what I’d imagine it’s like to play with bandaids on every finger
oh god i cant imagine
I actually cut my finger pretty bad while working a summer job, and i still wanted to practice some guitar with a bandaid on. It's so unnatural feeling and just made me cringe every time I fretted a note
Yes I've played with a bandaid on lots of time's... and it sucks 👎🤣
Except you could probably slide better on the strings with bandaids. Lol

@@trevorbohn8020 I had worse.....
I know it's too late, but I wanted to be another one to make you realize that nylon strings take a while to stay in tune. For me it's usual a day or so after puting them on and tuning up for the first time.
Classical strings take a while to stretch, usually take a week or two for them to stay in tune
Yeah, that was my first thought. I have a really nice classical-electric guitar, but that thing won't hold a tune through an entire song the first day after changing the strings, and it takes about two weeks for the tuning to settle. Nylon isn't metal.
@@nonaeroterraqueous damn! I didnt know that. Wow, that's long.
@@BSIII for me that isn't a week, usually it's fine after 1/2 days
Yeah, I bought a $46 acoustic electric guitar on Amazon and it sounds beautiful tho its classical strings took almost a week to stay in tune.
Well that's good to know. I just ordered some nylon strings for the first time. I would have been super frustrated.
What makes this better is that I have literally never seen someone so angry to have received an item that they knowingly purchased
The worst part is somewhere, some little girl is crying her heart out because she ordered a pink guitar and got a blue one instead.
One of my students started lessons with a similar quality guitar, but with steel strings. Super high action, and no truss rod to adjust. This poor little girl was just starting out with the weak hands and tender fingers of a new player, and she just could not push down the strings. I mentioned getting another guitar to her parents, but they were obviously not gonna do that. She quit playing a couple months later. I was sad, but not surprised.
My teacher lets me use his or the shops if you can maybe try that until they are good enough and can afford one they might stick with it
I have the blue color of this exact guitar.
When my sister tried to use it, she really struggled playing it.
I don't know how i haven't quit yet or how i managed to play Master of Puppets on this thing.

This is basically the guitar of every classroom showoff who says "I CAN PLAY GUITAR!!!1!1". And could only play the first 2 chords of wonderwall.
The only child is the person holding the pink guitar.
Wait what
i dont think you gave those strings enough time to properly stretch, im sure you know that nylons will go out of tune since they have to stretch but personally ive found the cheaper the string the longer you would need to let them stretch. generally i re-tune my classical every 30 minutes to an hour after i get on a new strings on and even then it can take some time before they actually stay tuned. and its always the lower 3 that cause the problem.

That's what happens when you blow your budget on a Klon.

It is in tune its just that nylon strings sound more muted compared to steel strings thats all

And that could even sound good. My first strat was about 60€ and i still play that from time to time.
Used Squier Telecaster for around 100$ or less. That's a perfectly playable and nice sounding instrument for a beginner
@@hotman718 where the fuck did you find that?
Yep. I was choosing my first guitar two months ago and there are options when you can't or don't wanna put much money into it. The cheapest Harley Benton was under 100 € if I recall correctly. Or about the same price used Squier or similar price range guitars that are new for 200-250 €.

Most 'cheap' acoustics I've ever played only had the one strap hitch on the bottom of it. We DID have to use a string or shoelace wrapped around the headstock, and looped through the end of the strap if we wanted to strap-up our cheapie guitar.

Tyler: "I think nobody has ever played a nylon string with a strap"
Brandon Acker: "hold my Piazolla"
I learned how to play guitar with a $40 EBay guitar sort of like that one, but it was red. It was like a classical guitar but instead, it had steel strings. Terrible action and super tight strings. Then, about a year and a half into playing, I finally got my second guitar, a Silvertone strat. I improved so much in one day, it felt like magic. I didn’t touch the old one after that, probably for years. When I picked up the old one years later, it would make me question how I even played it for so long.
Imagine a room full of these, this was my life of group guitar teaching for a year! This was the exact guitar every little girl played and they did a blue version.
Yeah it’s definitely in the “toy category”.
But! In defense, we bought our son something very similar because he would want to play my guitars as a toddler. So,bought it as a toy for a couple of years, saved my guitars from toddler attacks and kept him busy while I played.
Now, he’s 24, quite a good guitarist and a phenomenal drummer! Well worth $30 in my opinion! Haha well, has its place as a toy.
a good starter guitar is the yamaha apx600, its fairly reasonable in price and is at three quarter scale, not to mention its a hybrid so eventually they can get an amp for it, this was my first actual guitar an i am so happy with it

The fact that he didn’t know that you can tie an end of the strap to the stock makes me question whether this guy ever played guitar...
But he probably means that it didn't come with string, and without string you couldn't attach it
it probably did not come with a shoestring however when you buy a strap for an acoustic classical it comes with the string and Daryl Lander I could not agree with you more
Tyler, I could lose so many YEARS of my life watching your amazing videos, and this one is absolutely HYSTERICAL!! So many wonderful laughs, great comments (below) and wonderful memories. Wait, what? A FENDER ukulele?! I need to get out more! And bringing that pink puppy up to tune - how many times I've cringed and turned my head and closed my eyes, wishing for a blast shield while turning the tuning machines, waiting for an explosion and a string whipping or facial lacerations! Probably PTSD from being a toddler trying to open a Jack in the Box for the 50th time, hoping for a different result. Oh my goodness! Puzzled why you don't remember straps sold with a string at one end, to tie behind the nut, under the strings? Super job on this and ALL your priceless videos! Endless thanks!
I've bought a few of those toy guitars . One for my son and another for my grandaughter . It's a good way to see how they will treat the instrument . My son destroyed it . My grandaughter loved it enought to get one a little more expensive .
