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.
• 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.

The average price for a guitar lesson in Falmer is around £16/h.

This rate may change depending on several factors:

• Your current ability (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The teacher's credentials and background (grades, degrees, professional work)
• How long and how often you book (30 minutes, 60 minutes, weekly or fortnightly)
• How you take your lessons (online, in-person at home, or at the tutor's studio)

Online lessons tend to be cheaper since neither party travels. 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.
