Return to the main lesson page Beginners What to expect during the first lesson I enjoy working with beginners and I'm a very friendly and patient teacher. During the first lesson, I will cover the correct way to hold your guitar and the basics of correct playing technique to ensure that no bad habits develop. When first starting the guitar, I feel that the top priority is to get playing music as soon as possible. With this in mind, by the end of the first lesson you will be playing your first tune. I will always try to plan my lessons around music you enjoy, and after a few months work you can be playing a variety of your favourite songs. What to bring - Guitar (if you have one). I have all the other equipment needed. No Guitar Needed If you don't own a guitar, I have several spare acoustic guitars that students can take home to practise with.
