Learning Guitar

Learn chords and songs on acoustic or electric guitar.

Guitar is one of the most forgiving instruments to start on because a handful of chords unlocks hundreds of songs. Free lesson videos and apps make it easy to teach yourself the basics.

Getting started

Learn four basic chords (G, C, D, Em) first. That alone plays a huge number of songs.

Setting: indoor
People: solo
Budget: $$
