Musicians love to receive a new musical instrument for many reasons. One is just the joy that anyone feels to get something new. But that feeling fades fast. What lasts is the learning and experimenting that can go on for months, taking the musician out of their comfort zone (or worse, their rehearsal rut) and allowing a new platform for their self-expression. This contest might be the perfect elixir for three musicians in Canada since we are giving away one Kramer guitar and two Yamaha keyboards.

Kramer Focus VT211S Guitar delivers the fat-strat sound you love

Vintage-style guitars - Kramer

You know you want this guitar. I know I do. It brings me back to the great hair bands of the eighties. The Best Buy Blog review by Nikolai should be your first stop to learn more about this instrument. He discussed why the Kramer Focus VT211S Guitar is a fun instrument to play and demonstrated it’s tone and range with a selection of songs (including one Van Halen piece).

Yamaha keyboards expand musical abilities of any level of player

Yamaha PSR-e373 Keyboard

Learning new songs has never been more fun than it is on one of the two Yamaha keyboards we are giving away in this contest. Again, to learn more about the PSR-E273 or the PSR-E373, you should read the reviews by Nikolai Olekhnovitch. He discussed many of the features of these two instruments and demonstrated how Yamaha makes learning fun and easy. These two keyboards are incredibly versatile and offer something for every keyboard player, from beginner to experienced.

Imagine playing a new instrument right now

Some people say musical ability comes mostly from practice; others say it’s from talent. Both are likely involved, but to get the most enjoyment, I believe you need to exercise your musical imagination. I love the lyric, “Picture yourself in a boat on a river,” because it’s a great example of the marriage of imagination and music. I challenge you to picture yourself with a Yamaha or Kramer, learning to play Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds or some other song you’ve heard a million times and want to be able to reproduce on your own. Then enter this contest for your chance to win a great instrument from Best Buy.

How to enter

Entering this contest is easy, but you can only enter once. First, picture yourself sitting in a quiet room in your home with a new guitar or keyboard from Best Buy, and then tell us in a comment below what song you are going to learn first and why you chose that song.

What you can win

At the end of this contest we will randomly select three winners from all eligible comments on the blog. One person will win the black Kramer Focus VT211S Guitar that Nikolai reviewed, one will win the Yamaha PSR-E373 that Nikolai reviewed, and one person will win the Yamaha PSR-E273 that Nikolai reviewed.

This contest runs from July 29th to August 15th.

Remember, you can only enter once by leaving a comment beneath this article. However, there are many people in your life who would be inspired after winning one of these instruments, so share this contest and give them a chance to win too.

  11. I would love to win this as a gift to my nephew, and to hear him play Eye Of The Tiger by Survivor.

    • I forgot to say that it’s one of my favourite songs and that is why I want to learn to play it.

  18. The guitar would go to my 10yr. old daughter who is learning guitar, current song she is learning is Godsmack – Scars, it is a great song with a very powerful message. My 12yr. old plays piano so same song.

  19. I’d play Layla by Eric Clapton if I won the guitar and I’d play Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens if I won the keyboard. I chose those because like the oldies 🙂

  20. I would love to learn to play any song, so I can play along with my son who plays guitar. What a great father & son activity!

  25. I would learn Wonderwall first because it is a favourite song of mine and it is easier to learn on the guitar.

  27. How about Bohemian Rhapsody on the keyboard and If I Could Fly by Joe Satriani on the guitar. I’ll need help on either.

  28. I would learn “Sweet Home Alabama” first because it is a favourite song of mine and it is easier to learn on the guitar.

  31. I would play Pennylane in my keyboard, because it was one of the first songs I learned to play when I was little.

  32. Stairway to heaven. I learned the intro years ago on a buddy’s guitar. It’d be nice to finally finish it.

  33. I don’t play any instrument , but have a friend that is in a band, and I’m sure they could use an extra “axe” ! With the pandemic, I’m sure they don’t have a lot of money for new equipment , so would gladly donate to the cause. I would ask them to perform an AC/DC song on my behalf at one of their shows for appreciation.

  34. Rocket man, i just love it and always wanted to learn how to play it but never really had access to the instrument

  41. I would learn how to play “Smoke on the Water” since it seems to be what most people learn first.

  48. I’d first learn to play House of the Rising Sun byThe Animals. Just for sentimental reasons. And I happen to love the song.

  49. I would like to learn to play Eruption by Van Halen.. I know that a stretch.. but hey one could wish
