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.
• Strumming patterns teach your picking hand how to keep time and add rhythm to chords.

These basics unlock the door to playing real music within just a few weeks.

This rate often differs depending on several factors:

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

Many tutors offer discounts for block bookings, which lowers the cost per lesson. A first session at no charge is common, letting you test the teaching style.
