Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

Starting guitarists need to master a few key fundamentals before moving to songs or complex techniques.

• Guitar anatomy: Learn the names of the main components like the neck and fretboard.
• Open string names: Standard tuning assigns specific notes to each open string: E-A-D-G-B-E.
• Fretting technique: Press strings firmly close to the fret wire using the tips of your fingers.
• Strumming basics: Develop consistent rhythm by moving from the wrist rather than elbow movement.

These basic skills prepare beginners for learning chords within a short timeframe.

Guitar instruction in Dunlop averages about $40/h.

This rate varies based on multiple criteria:

• Your skill level (beginner, or high school level)
• The teacher's qualifications (degrees and certifications)
• Lesson duration and frequency (30-minute sessions, fortnightly)
• The lesson mode (in-person or remote)

Choosing video call instruction can reduce costs while maintaining excellent teaching.

In guitar learning, a few core techniques generate 80% of your improvement.

For guitarists, this means identifying high-impact skills like rhythm accuracy rather than practising everything equally.

Examples of high-impact practice:

• Clean chord changes between common chords like G-C-D or E-A-B
• Strumming with consistent timing using a metronome
• Learning the pentatonic scale in a single shape
• Listening skills to play by ear

This approach delivers better results by targeting the skills that improve multiple areas.
