Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

Starting guitarists need to master several foundational concepts before moving to harder skills.

• Guitar components: Learn the names of key sections like the headstock and fretboard.
• Open string names: Standard tuning assigns specific notes to all six strings: E-A-D-G-B-E.
• Finger placement: Press strings firmly just before the fret using the pads near your nails.
• Basic strumming: Hold the pick between your thumb and strum from top to bottom with loose wrist motion.

Master these basics first to avoid poor technique that limit your playing.
