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.
• 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 Whaley Bridge is around £25/h.

• 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)
