"It's no secret that playing guitar is a huge part of my life, so I love when other people want to play."
- Keith Urban
Keith Urban doesn’t just want you to play guitar - he wants you to have fun while you’re doing it. Working together with Yamaha, we created the most fun and engaging way to learn: the URBAN Guitar by Yamaha.
You’ll find everything you need: a finely crafted guitar and access to an immersive lesson app that combines Keith’s entertaining personality with cutting-edge features.
When you’re ready to start playing, just open the included guitar lesson app. Keith is your guide, giving fun, easy-to-understand instructions while encouraging you every step of the way.
The ideal beginner guitar
The URBAN Guitar by Yamaha comes loaded with features that make it perfect for new and aspiring guitarists--even those that have never picked up a guitar before.
CONCERT CUTAWAY BODY
Comfortable to play, this attractive cutaway design allows you to play high notes that are usually a challenge to reach in standard acoustic guitars.
LOWER STRING TENSION
Playing's no fun when your fingers hurt. That's why we lowered the string tension, bringing the strings closer to the fretboard. When you press on the strings, you'll be able to form chords easier – and play for longer. Additionally, the strings were specially selected for their playability - without compromising the guitar's warm, rich tone.
MATTE FINISH NECK
The finish of the neck can sometimes cause your hand to stick. With a non-glossy matte finish, you'll find your hand moves easier along the neck - and won't get stuck as often.

App Support
The packaging says there is a lesson app as part of the purchase. Where can I go to access the lessons?
Lessons are contained in the URBAN Guitar app. Go to the Apple App Store or Google Play store and download the app titled "URBAN Guitar." Once you receive your guitar and have the app downloaded, you will need to register your guitar in the app using the guitar's serial number (located on the triangle shaped guitar box or on the base of the neck, just inside the sound hole) to gain full access to all lessons and content. You can access the introduction and one lesson prior to registering the guitar.
I'm trying to register my serial number in the app and it gives me an error.
If you are having problems registering the guitar, your serial number may be invalid or currently in use. A serial number can only be assigned to one person for app use. Please check that you are typing in the correct serial number. If you need help locating your serial number, please see "Where can I find my serial number" in this document. If you are still having problems, please contact contact Yamaha USA Product and Order Support. Available Mon – Fri, 7:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. PT at (866) 430-2652. To contact us via email please use the Contact Form.
Where can I find my serial number?
Your guitar serial number can be found in two locations. If you still have the triangular-shaped box the guitar was packed in, you can find the serial number on the exterior of the this box. Additionally, the serial number can be found just inside the sound hole of the guitar at the base of the neck. All serial numbers for the URBAN will begin with 3 letters. Currently the leading 2 characters will contain HP, IQ or IH.
What devices can I use the lesson app on? iPhone, iPad, Android?
You can use the URBAN Guitar lesson app on any Apple mobile device that has iOS 13 or newer, or any Android mobile devices that has 6.0 Marshmallow or newer.
Once I download the app, why do I have to register my guitar?
The URBAN Guitar app is designed to provide exclusive access to URBAN Guitar owners. You can access the introduction and one lesson prior to registration, just to check things out. Go to the Apple App Store or Google Play store and download URBAN Guitar.
Is there a guitar tuner in the URBAN Guitar lessons app?
Yes. There is a digital tuner within the app to keep your URBAN Guitar in tune. There is also an assistant mode that helps ensure you are tuning the correct string.
When tuning my URBAN Guitar, the tuner within the app doesn’t seem to respond consistently. How can I adjust sound/device settings for the app?
You can navigate to Application Settings within your profile and adjust audio settings. You can also test the sound of your guitar and adjust the apps sensitivity to your guitar within the advanced settings.
Is there a way for me to skip lessons and begin songs that I am interested in?
Yes. Within your profile settings, you can disable the "Pick Requirement" for your lessons and choose the lessons you would like to jump to.
I am playing the correct chord and strumming the right rhythm, but the app is telling me that I am not playing correctly.
Check the audio settings (Profile Icon>Application Settings>Audio Settings) and make sure your sounds is registering on the Input Level meter. If not, you may need to allow the URBAN app to access your device's microphone. You can access these permissions in your device's app settings.
Try the initial Introduction courses: "Play Your First Chord," "Your Second Chord," "Changing E minor to A minor," and "Your First Strums". These are the basic trainers and good ways to test if your device is hearing your performance correctly.
Some of the more difficult exercises move quickly and can sometimes miss chords or strums. Try to play as cleanly and clearly as you can for optimal performance. Practice mode is a good way to lower the speed and check recognition at a slower tempo.
Can I use the app with earbuds, Airpods, or other bluetooth devices?
Yes. Connect your Bluetooth speakers/earbuds to your device as you normally would. Please note that the app uses your device's microphone to listen to your guitar playing, so using an external speaker may interfere with the app's ability to read the input signal accurately.
I noticed one of the songs sounds "different" when I play it on my iPhone (etc.)? Am I doing something wrong?
Not at all. A few of the songs have been "transposed" musically to make the chords easier to learn. Since we don’t want to focus on music theory—and want to ensure you're having fun and playing as quickly as possible—the keys have been adjusted in a few tunes so they would make use of chords learned in previous lessons.
