Guitar care is the most important parts of being a guitarist!

We believe that guitar care is one of the most important parts of being a guitarist! With some simple steps, you can ensure that your guitar looks, feels and sounds good for years to come. First, find a proper way of storing it – don’t just leave your guitar lying around, it can tip over and fall! Invest in a floor stand or a guitar case – this will do your guitar good in the long run. Clean your guitar often – wipe the neck after every use with a soft cloth, to prevent accumulation of sweat and oils from your hand, and give the fretboard a nice polish every time you change strings. We think a time period of about 1-3 months for changing your guitar strings is fine – when you feel your strings wearing out or sounding dull is a good time to change them. Ensure that your guitar doesn’t have to undergo extremes of temperature – that could really damage the instrument! We also suggest that you take it to your local guitar technician about once in a year, just to get it looked at. Finally, the best way to take care of your guitar is to play it! By using it regularly you’ll be more aware of what’s going on, and therefore be better able to care for it. These simple tips can help you and your guitar in the long run. Good luck!

Guitar lesson 1: Caring for your guitar

Bought a new guitar but don’t know how to maintain it? Worry not! We’ve got help for you. As a guitarist, guitar care is one of the first few things you should learn. Here are some things you should take into account while caring for your guitar:

• Don’t keep it lying around. This seems so obvious, right? But you won’t believe the huge number of avoidable accidents that have happened to guitars simply from bad ideas like being leant against the wall. Buy some form of storage for your guitar – the most common ones being floor stands and cases. Invest in one of these, and you won’t regret it.
• Cleaning. This is one of the most important parts of guitar care. The types of cleaning you should do are:
  • Neck. Wipe along the neck of your guitar with a dry, soft cloth after every use to protect your fretboard – the sweat and oils from your hands can accumulate quickly and damage it.
  • Fretboard. Each time you change the strings (see next tip), give your fretboard a nice clean. The best way to clean your fretboard is to give it a polish every now and then. Remember, it’s hard to clean fretboards when they do have strings on, so the time when you change strings is perfect to get all the accumulated dust off.
• Changing strings. When you notice your strings are getting slightly worn out or sounding dull, it’s a good time to change your strings. Lots of people are scared about this step, but there’s no reason to be so! Changing your guitar strings periodically (about 1-3 months) can really help the sound of your guitar. 
• Temperature. Make sure you protect your guitar from extremes in temperature. Remember, a guitar is mostly wood, so it will be sensitive to changes in temperature.
• Get it looked at. Once in a while, at least. Even if you have been taking regular and good care of it, there will be some parts that might need tweaking and readjustment! About once a year, take it to your Jazz Guitar Lesson– that should do fine.
• Play it! There’s no better way to keep your guitar in tip-top condition than this! Playing regularly is the perfect way for you to ensure that you take notice of your guitar. Forgetting all about your guitar means that it’ll sit in a corner, gather dust, and soon become rusty and unusable – you don’t want that, now!

Just follow these tips and you’ll be sure to have a great-sounding guitar for years. Happy playin’!
