Quick Answer
A good beginner guitar accessory kit should cover tuning, plugging in, playing, and replacing strings. If a bundle includes a tuner, picks, cable, strap, and spare strings, it can be a practical first purchase.
Check the cable quality before buying a cheap bundle. If the cable looks weak, buy the accessories separately and start with a better 10-foot instrument cable.
