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.

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 Laurencekirk is around £20/h.

This rate may change depending on several factors:

• Your current ability (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The tutor's qualifications and experience (conservatoire training, gigging history)
• Lesson length and frequency (30 minutes, 60 minutes, weekly or fortnightly)
• The lesson format (online, in-person at home, or at the tutor's studio)

Online lessons tend to be cheaper since neither party travels. Ask about introductory offers to find the right tutor risk-free.
