Starting guitarists need to master a few key fundamentals before moving to harder skills.

• Guitar anatomy: Know the headstock and other essential parts to describe problems.
• String identification: Memorise standard tuning names to understand chord diagrams.
• Fretting technique: Press strings firmly behind the fret using your fingertips.
• Basic strumming: Hold a pick between your index finger and strum across the strings with fluid arm movement.
