Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

Guitar beginners should start with four fundamental elements that create a solid foundation.

• Guitar anatomy: Identify the soundhole along with the neck to understand its physical layout.
• String identification: Standard tuning assigns specific notes to the strings when unfretted: E-A-D-G-B-E.
• Left-hand form: Use the pads of your fingers to press strings firmly near the fret wire.
• Right-hand rhythm: Hold a plectrum between your thumb and strum across the strings with fluid arm movement.

Master these essentials first to avoid poor technique that limit your playing.
