The first skills to learn on guitar are tuning, basic chords, and simple strumming patterns.

• A tuner app or clip-on device helps you tune quickly and accurately.
• Open chords like E minor, A minor, C, G, and D are the building blocks of countless songs.
• Start with simple downstrokes before mixing in upstrokes for more complex grooves.

Once you can switch between a few chords smoothly, try playing along to a simple song you enjoy.

The average price for a guitar lesson in Ashford is around £26/h.

This rate often differs depending on several factors:

• How long and how often you book (half-hour, full hour, one-off or regular)
• How you take your lessons (online, in-person at home, or at the tutor's studio)
