The first skills to learn on guitar are tuning, basic chords, and simple strumming patterns.

• Tuning means adjusting each string to the correct pitch, usually E-A-D-G-B-E from low to high.
• 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 South Normanton is around £12/h.

• How you take your lessons (online, in-person at home, or at the tutor's studio)
