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.
• Mastering open chords gives you a solid foundation for rhythm playing.
• A metronome helps you develop steady timing from the very beginning.

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 Boston is around £29/h.

This rate often differs depending on several factors:

• Your current ability (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The tutor's qualifications and experience (conservatoire training, gigging history)
• Lesson length and frequency (30 minutes, 60 minutes, weekly or fortnightly)
• The lesson format (online, in-person at home, or at the tutor's studio)

Booking a package of lessons often brings the hourly rate down. Some teachers include a free trial lesson so you can check the fit before committing.

The 80/20 rule suggests that 20% of your practice delivers 80% of your results.
