Book guitar lessons with expert teachers

The first lessons for a new guitarist cover parts of the instrument and basic playing techniques.

• Parts of the instrument: Know the headstock and other key components to discuss technique.
• String identification: Standard tuning assigns particular pitches to each open string: E-A-D-G-B-E.
• Left-hand form: Keep the thumb position behind the fretboard while fingers arch over strings.
• Strumming basics: Hold the pick between your thumb and strum from top to bottom with a relaxed wrist.

With solid fundamentals in place, new guitarists can learn songs faster.
