If you have always dreamed of playing the guitar but didn't know where to start, our Guitar for Absolute Beginners course is the perfect place to begin your journey.
Key Course Information:
Course: Guitar for Absolute Beginners.
Term Starts: Thursday, 24 September 2026.
Time Slot: 6.00pm-7.15pm.
Commitment: 10 weekly sessions.
Investment: £62.50 (Full course fee).
About the Class: This course assumes absolutely zero prior knowledge. You do not need to know how to read music, and you don't need to have any musical background whatsoever. We start entirely from scratch.
Our expert tutoring focuses on building a solid baseline of fundamental skills. By focusing on correct habits early on, we ensure you have the tools needed to enjoy the guitar for years to come.
Our 5-Point Core Curriculum:
Tuning Basics: Learn to tune so your instrument always sounds great.
Timekeeping: Develop a strong internal clock to keep perfect time.
Rhythm Essentials: Master basic strumming patterns used in everyday music.
Song Accompaniment: Combine chords to accompany singing or other instruments.
Aural Development: Train your "musical ear" to understand song structures.
What Equipment Do I Need? Students are required to bring their own instrument and accessories. You will need:
An acoustic guitar (nylon or steel strings are both fine).
A few guitar plectrums (picks).
A folder or notebook for your course handouts.
Speak to Our Tutor
We understand you may have questions about the course before you fully commit to registering. Our expert tutor is incredibly passionate about welcoming new students and calming any pre-course nerves. If you would like to ask any questions or have an informal chat with them over the phone before signing up, please let us know and we will gladly arrange it.
