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.
• A metronome helps you develop steady timing from the very beginning.

Practice chord transitions slowly at first, then build speed as your fingers remember the shapes.

The average price for a guitar lesson in Gateshead is around £20/h.

• The lesson format (online, in-person at home, or at the tutor's studio)

Online lessons tend to be cheaper since neither party travels. A first session at no charge is common, letting you test the teaching style.
