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.
• 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.
