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

• Tuning means adjusting each string to the correct pitch, usually E-A-D-G-B-E from low to high.
• These five chords appear in thousands of popular tracks across all genres.
• A metronome helps you develop steady timing from the very beginning.

These basics unlock the door to playing real music within just a few weeks.

• The lesson format (online, in-person at home, or at the tutor's studio)
