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

• Tuning is essential because an out-of-tune guitar makes every chord sound wrong.
• These five chords appear in thousands of popular tracks across all genres.
• A metronome helps you develop steady timing from the very beginning.

Practice chord transitions slowly at first, then build speed as your fingers remember the shapes.

The average price for a guitar lesson in Basildon is around £15/h.

This rate may change depending on several factors:

• Your current ability (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The teacher's credentials and background (conservatoire training, gigging history)
• 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)

Online lessons tend to be cheaper since neither party travels. Some teachers include a free trial lesson so you can check the fit before committing.
