Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

Guitar beginners should start with four core areas that create strong groundwork.

• Guitar anatomy: Identify the bridge along with the neck to understand how the instrument works.
• Note names: Memorise the six open string notes to read tablature.
• Left-hand form: Press strings firmly close to the fret wire using the tips of your fingers.
• Basic strumming: Practice even rhythmic patterns before adding upstrokes.

With strong basics in place, students can advance quickly.
