Guitar lessons for beginners free

(Edited)


This is the first guitar lesson for beginners. You will learn how to hold the guitar and the differences between various types of guitar. The note names and numbers of each of the guitar strings. You will then learn how to tune a guitar by ear.

The advantage of tuning your guitar by ear is that you will also be training your ears at the same time. This is an often overlooked skill that you need for any form of music making.

Tuning by ear can help you to locate and understand where the various tones are on the fretboard.

There is a time and place for using electronic tuners but not when you are learning to play the guitar. Using an electronic tuner is depriving you of leanring a valuable skill and what do you do when the technology fails?

Thanks for making this video. Brings back memories of when I first started learning. Back then all I had to tune the guitar was a tuning fork in the key of A. You would have to ding the fork then place it on the body of the guitar to hear the tone ring out.
