Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

Starting guitarists need to master several foundational concepts before moving to advanced material.

• Guitar anatomy: Know the headstock and other essential parts to communicate clearly.
• Note names: Standard tuning assigns particular pitches to the strings when unfretted: E-A-D-G-B-E.
• Fretting technique: Use your fingertips to press strings close to the metal bar.
• Basic strumming: Hold a plectrum between your thumb and strum through all strings with a relaxed wrist.

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

Private guitar tuition in Fremantle averages roughly $60/h.

This rate fluctuates based on several factors:

• The student's level (beginner, or university level)
• The instructor's experience (formal qualifications)
• The format chosen (30-minute sessions, fortnightly)
• The lesson mode (at the teacher's studio)

Many teachers provide a complimentary first session so you can see if it's the right fit before signing up.
