Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

Starting guitarists need to master core basics before moving to advanced material.

• Guitar anatomy: Identify the soundhole along with the tuning pegs to understand how the instrument works.
• String identification: The six strings are tuned to E-A-D-G-B-E from lowest to highest.
• Fretting technique: Use the tips of each finger to press strings close to the metal bar.
• Strumming basics: Develop a steady down-up motion by moving from the wrist rather than elbow movement.

Master these basics first to avoid bad habits that limit your playing.
