New to the instrument?
Start by getting familiar with the guitar, then learn how a chord diagram maps to its strings and frets. You do not need a long list of chords for your first session.
Our beginner starting page connects the first steps in order. You can work through them at a pace that feels manageable.
Picking it up again?
Begin with a chord you recognise, check its notes one at a time and use a small routine to make practice easy to repeat. Returning to a familiar instrument does not mean every movement will feel familiar immediately.
Try the clearer-chords check, then choose a task from our ten-minute routine.
