Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

The first lessons for a beginner cover parts of the instrument and core mechanics.

• Guitar anatomy: Know the headstock and other critical elements to discuss technique.
• String identification: Memorise the six open string notes to read tablature.
• Left-hand form: Use the tips of each finger to press strings firmly near the fret wire.
• Right-hand rhythm: Hold a plectrum between your thumb and strum across the strings with loose wrist motion.

These core elements prepare beginners for learning chords within the first few weeks.
