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.
• Open chords like E minor, A minor, C, G, and D are the building blocks of countless songs.
• 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 average price for a guitar lesson in Eccles is around £25/h.

This rate may change depending on several factors:

• How long and how often you book (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. Some teachers include a free trial lesson so you can check the fit before committing.
