5 things I wish every guitar beginner knew
Aug 08, 2026A lot of beginners start learning guitar by trying to play a bunch of different chords.
But that can quickly lead to frustration and feeling overwhelmed.
In my newest video, I share the 5 things I recommend every beginner learn first so they can build a strong foundation and actually enjoy playing guitar.
I’ll walk you through:
- How to hold the guitar correctly
- How to tune your guitar
- A simple riff that makes you feel like a guitarist
- An easy melody to start making music
- The easy chords that open the door to hundreds of songs
If you’re just starting out (or helping someone who is), I think this video will give you a much clearer path forward.
Watch it here.
Keep making music!
