Why the Loog is a Great Intro to Guitar for Kids

Does your child love the guitar, but you’re not sure their fingers are ready for lessons yet? Students can now begin guitar lessons earlier with the Loog Guitar. Even “child-size” guitars can provide necks that are too wide for small hands, and more importantly strings that hurt to push down. The Loog is an ideal guitar for kids starting out.

Guitar for Kids – Why We Love the Loog

– The Loog Guitar has the same tuning and finger positions as guitar (unlike ukulele)

– Loog Guitar is compatible to use with most beginning guitar method books (Hal Leonard Guitar for Kids Book 1 uses only the strings on the Loog anyway!)

– Loog Guitar is fun to play even after the student “graduates” to a full scale instrument

Guitar vs. Ukulele

If a student learns ukulele with the intention of “graduating” to guitar, they will need to relearn:

1. String names
2. Note names
3. Chord names
4. Chord shapes

With the Loog Guitar, the student learns all elements appropriate to the guitar from the beginning (i.e if you place your 3rd finger on the 3rd fret on the bottom string of a ukulele it’s the note C whereas, that same position on a Loog and on a guitar makes a G).
