Firstly I need an tuner for it. Secondly I need a beginners guide to playing it. I also need an AMP Can anyone recommend anything cheap to fulfill my requirements. Either a shop in Manchester, UK or a website than I can order from. Cheers! \m/

I've always bought beginner guides for instruments I play and they've all be rubbish. Save yourself £15 and just use the internet, like looking over easy tabs, playing along with songs, etc. it's a much more efficient way to learn I think and it will improve your musicality in the long term I think. Though come to think of it, I did have a book for flute from this range: www.learntoplaymusic.com and that was a good book; and they do do guitar too. But not sure if it will be any good. =]
