Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe’ll start by discussing your musical interests and goals. I’ll introduce you to the guitar, correct posture, picking and fretting techniques, and basic rhythm. You’ll learn your first simple chords or melody, with the aim of playing some music from day one!
Lesson 2-3We’ll build on the fundamentals with essential open chords, smooth chord transitions, strumming patterns, and rhythm exercises. We’ll start learning a song you enjoy, developing coordination and confidence while introducing basic music theory in a practical, accessible way.
Lesson 4-10We’ll expand your chord vocabulary, improve rhythm and timing using a metronome, and explore techniques such as alternate picking, fingerstyle, and simple riffs. You’ll learn complete songs, develop your musical ear, and gradually explore scales and improvisation depending on your interests.
Lesson 11+Lessons become increasingly personalised as your confidence and abilities grow. We’ll explore more advanced chords, scales, improvisation, music theory, and techniques relevant to your favourite styles, whether that’s rock, pop, blues, jazz, or funk. The goal is to develop your own musical identity and become a confident, independent guitarist.
