Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

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

• Parts of the instrument: Learn the names of each major part like the neck and fretboard.
• String identification: Standard tuning assigns specific notes to the strings when unfretted: E-A-D-G-B-E.
• Finger placement: Use the pads of your fingers to press strings cleanly behind each fret.
• Right-hand rhythm: Hold the pick between your thumb and strum across the strings with a relaxed wrist.

These basic skills prepare beginners for playing simple songs within a short timeframe.
