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.
• 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.
