FAQ's

🎸 What should you learn at the beginning of guitar?

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.

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

💰 What do guitar teachers charge in Brighton?

The average price for a guitar lesson in Brighton is around £25/h.

This rate often differs depending on several factors:

  • The student's level (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
  • The teacher's credentials and background (grades, degrees, professional work)
  • Lesson length and frequency (half-hour, full hour, one-off or regular)
  • The lesson format (online, in-person at home, or at the tutor's studio)

Many tutors offer discounts for block bookings, which lowers the cost per lesson. Ask about introductory offers to find the right tutor risk-free.

⚡ How do you use the Pareto principle on guitar?

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

  • Most hit songs from the 1960s to today use variations of these basic chords.
  • The pentatonic scale is the 20% of theory that unlocks 80% of lead guitar solos.

Apply this rule by asking: "Will I use this technique in real songs?"
