Learn to be able to explain and/or demonstrate the following guitar fundamentals:
- How to tune a guitar to ‘Standard’ tuning
- How to locate all of the notes across the fretboard
- How to ‘warm up’
- Basic music theory and some chords to get you started
- Where to go and what to focus on when you are ready to take your education to the next level!
In other words, you’ll learn everything you would learn from a guitar teacher at your very first lesson, assuming you’re approaching the instrument for the first time.
The purpose of this guide is to help the absolute beginner guitar player. I want to give as solid of a foundation as possible so that your future lessons, wherever you receive them, will go smoothly.
I know you’re eager to get started by now, so let’s go ahead and dive in to your first guitar lesson!
