Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

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

• Guitar anatomy: Know the saddle and other essential parts to communicate clearly.
• Note names: Memorise E-A-D-G-B-E to understand chord diagrams.
• Fretting technique: Keep your thumb behind the fretboard while fingers curve naturally.
• Basic strumming: Practice even rhythmic patterns before adding alternating patterns.

Master these basics first to avoid frustrating mistakes that become hard to fix.

This rate fluctuates based on various considerations:
