Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

The first lessons for a new guitarist cover guitar anatomy and basic playing techniques.

• Parts of the instrument: Identify the body along with the tuning pegs to understand how the instrument works.
• Open string names: The six strings are tuned to E-A-D-G-B-E from thickest to thinnest.
• Finger placement: Keep the thumb position on the back of the neck while fingers curve naturally.
• Strumming basics: Hold a pick between your index finger and strum through all strings with a relaxed wrist.

Master these basics first to avoid poor technique that slow progress later.

Guitar lessons in Box Hill typically cost around $50/h per hour.

The cost varies based on multiple criteria:

• Your skill level (beginner, or university level)
• The teacher's qualifications (performance background)
• Lesson duration and frequency (30-minute sessions, fortnightly)
• Where lessons occur (at your home)

Some instructors offer discounted packages when you book multiple sessions, which lowers the per-lesson cost.

Also called the Pareto Principle, this concept shows that targeted effort yields disproportionate results.

Apply this by drilling problem areas that unlock multiple songs.

Essential focus areas:

• Smooth chord transitions between common chords like G-C-D or E-A-B
• Strumming with consistent timing using a metronome
• Mastering basic scales in one key thoroughly
• Listening skills to play by ear

This approach maximises practice efficiency by targeting the skills that unlock the most songs.
