If I started playing guitar from scratch again this is the electo-acoustic guitar I'd buy right now — and it's 10% off at Guitar Center
My first memory of playing a guitar was sat on some steps near school trying (and failing) to learn the synth line from the Eurythmics classic Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This). I fumbled about and hit the strings in a way that made some kind of sound. Fortunately, you don't have to make the same public embarrassment of yourself as I did, because the Lava Music Me Play acoustic guitar has a small smart display that acts as a tuner, tutor and recording studio and it's down to just $359 at Guitar Center. It looks like a slightly quirkier version of an electro-acoustic guitar (since that's what it is), so you don't need an amp to get started, but can plug it in if you want to turn up the volume. This is handy, since the body has an all-weather design so you can play it outside in summer sun without lugging equipment around. The Lava Music Me Play is easily one of the greatest guitars for beginners. It's portable, has a built-in digital tuner and metronome, and has effects, drum loops and a recorder all easily accessible, even when unplugged. It's aimed at new players, but also makes an excellent travel companion for all guitarists. As much as I'd normally say 'smart' things are usually a way to make you spend more on a product you'd need to upgrade pretty quickly (a standard acoustic guitar from 50 years ago can still play just as well today if taken care of, for example), I think there's a good reason to still put the Lava Music Me Play in your basket. The touchscreen display gives you access to a built-in digital tuner — I really hate needing to tune the guitar, so anything to make it easier is a plus in my book. But there are plenty of cheap tuners you can buy, so the real reason to pick up the Me Play is the effects and recording tools. The Lava Music Me Play uses the rear of the guitar as a speaker, so it can add effects even when you're playing on the go without any amplification. You can program drum loops, start a metronome so you can keep time, but the most interesting is the effects. Normally, you'd need a separate powered effects peddle, which means no interesting sounds while playing unplugged (plus, extra expense to buy the effects pedal). The Lava Music Me Play uses the rear of the guitar as a speaker, so it can add effects even when you're playing on the go without any amplification. It's an impressive feature, and means that you can loop parts, add effects and create beats to play a song, even when all you have is your acoustic guitar. GuitarZero2Hero described it as a "travel guitar" in their review, so if you're after something you can take around with you without compromising on sound and effects, you'll definitely want to check out the Lava Me Play, especially if you want to celebrate the reunion of 90s heroes Oasis by screaming your heart out playing Wonderwall.

Is BTS' full-group comeback set for March 6, 2026? Fans spot alleged hints in Permission to Dance on Stage LIVE photos
BTS ARMY is abuzz with excitement regarding the K-pop boy band's first group musical offering following their military discharge. It is a live album, featuring 22 tracks from their global Permission to Dance on Stage tour. On June 3, they dropped some promotional concept stills, and a particular clock detail caught fans' attention. They made theories regarding its connection with BTS' Spring 2026 comeback. Does 3:06 detail of Permission to Dance on Stage LIVE photos hint at BTS' comeback date? In the concept photos, BTS members RM, Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are seen standing inside a departmental store. The PTD General Store features a wall clock with a 3:05 setting. The clock can be seen in the group pictures as well as in leader Kim Namjoon's solo shot. It may be an intentional clue related to BTS' full-group comeback. Recently, during an OT7 live, the artists revealed that they are eyeing a Spring 2026 release for their new album and the 3:05 clock timing might be a hint of the same. Fans think that 3/5 or March 5, 2026 might be the release date of the date the new BTS songs drop. The date being a Friday, makes the possibility even more stronger. K-pop artists often release new music on that day of the week as the calculation of sales and stream counts begin from a Friday in South Korea. Fan reactions on the possibility of BTS' new album drop on March 5, 2026 Fans can't contain their excitement on the possibility of the speculation getting real. They pointed at how "clocks are never, ever random [when it comes to BTS]." One X-user also recalled how J-Hope posted made a similar update before his solo track release. His Tiktok update featurd a phone showcasing 3:07 timeslap and then he dropped Sweet Dreams on March 7. Some fans felt like they are back to BTS' pre-military era, when eagle-eyed ARMYs use to spot every little detail in their beloved artists' updates and make theories based on them. They feel the return of the group brought back is bringing back those joyful times.
