Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

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

• Parts of the instrument: Learn the names of key sections like the body and fretboard.
• Note names: Standard tuning assigns set values to each open string: E-A-D-G-B-E.
• Left-hand form: Press strings firmly close to the fret wire using the pads near your nails.
• Right-hand rhythm: Develop even strumming pattern by moving from the wrist rather than shoulder motion.

With proper foundation in place, new guitarists can build confidence.

Private guitar tuition in Bentleigh averages approximately $85/h.

The cost varies based on various considerations:

• The student's level (advanced, or high school level)
• The tutor's credentials (performance background)
• The format chosen (30-minute sessions, fortnightly)
• Where lessons occur (online via video call)

Choosing remote learning can reduce costs while maintaining strong progress.
