Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

Starting guitarists need to master several foundational concepts before moving to harder skills.

• Parts of the instrument: Identify the bridge along with the frets to understand how the instrument works.
• String identification: The six strings are tuned to E-A-D-G-B-E from thickest to thinnest.
• Finger placement: Keep the thumb position behind the fretboard while fingers curve naturally.
• Strumming basics: Develop even strumming pattern by using wrist rotation rather than elbow movement.

Master these essentials first to avoid poor technique that become hard to fix.
