Editorial Policy

Guitar Start Guide publishes guides and reviews to help beginners make good decisions about learning guitar. This policy explains how we create, review, and update our content.

Our Principles

  • Honesty over promotion: We only recommend products we believe are genuinely useful, and we are explicit about limitations.
  • Beginner-first: Every guide is written for someone starting from zero, in plain language.
  • Affiliate transparency: Some links are affiliate links; our editorial opinions are not influenced by them. See our Affiliate Disclosure.
  • Accuracy: We fact-check claims about prices, features, and technique, and update content when things change.

How We Review Products

When we review a course, app, or piece of gear, we assess it on price, teaching quality, structure, and who it actually suits. We compare it honestly against alternatives and note when a cheaper or free option would serve a beginner just as well.
