Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

Starting guitarists need to master several foundational concepts before moving to songs or complex techniques.

• Guitar components: Learn the names of the main components like the neck and fretboard.
• Open string names: Standard tuning assigns particular pitches to all six strings: E-A-D-G-B-E.
• Fretting technique: Press strings firmly close to the fret wire using your fingertips.
• Right-hand rhythm: Hold a plectrum between your thumb and strum through all strings with fluid arm movement.

With strong basics in place, new guitarists can learn songs faster.
