Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

Starting guitarists need to master core basics before moving to songs or complex techniques.

• Guitar anatomy: Identify the bridge along with the frets to understand its physical layout.
• Open string names: The six strings are tuned to E-A-D-G-B-E from bottom to top.
• Left-hand form: Press strings firmly behind the fret using the pads near your nails.
• Right-hand rhythm: Practice simple down-strums before adding upstrokes.

These basic skills prepare beginners for learning chords within the first few weeks.

This rate can vary based on various considerations:
