As a guitarist of only two years I purchased this as a sort of compliment to that. I use it to record some basic enough chords as I've not had it long but with the wide variety of sounds it opens up another layer of creativity, not only does it inspire me to learn the way of the keys but how I can use it to compliment my guitar playing as it is, it's an incredibly easy to set up piece of kit that comes with lots of very good software so overall as a bundle it's a great started keyboard/synth for the beginner who's looking to get started without having to spend too much
