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.
• Mastering open chords gives you a solid foundation for rhythm playing.
• Strumming patterns teach your picking hand how to keep time and add rhythm to chords.

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

• The lesson format (via video call, face-to-face, or at a music school)

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