Free Beginner Guitar Lessons

These free beginner guitar lessons are designed to help you understand how to start learning the guitar in an easy to follow and systematic fashion.

Simply choose a category below and start with the very first lesson in that category. As you progress down through the lessons in that category the lessons will get progressively more difficult.

When you are first starting to learn the guitar it can be a very frustrating yet exciting time.

The reason in can be frustrating is that if you have just started out you may be practicing quite a bit but still don't have the ability to play a basic song. This is true for every player so don't think it is just you. There are a few things you need to be able to do on the guitar before being able to put them together to pay a simple tune. But you will be rewarded immensely in the end. TRUST ME!

I also think the first few months of playing can be very exciting. If you consistently practice you will notice improvement literally everyday. Seeing this improvement should help keep you motivated. Later on when you have developed a lot more proficiency on the guitar your progress will become much more gradual and over longer period of time so enjoy it while it lasts!

I hope all of these free beginner guitar lessons will help get you started on your path as a guitar player. I have some nice free beginner level song lessons available on the songs lessons page that I think would be a great place for you to go after you have mastered a couple chord and rhythm lessons on this page. Here is a direct link to that page. Beginner Guitar Songs

After that the sky is the limit! Welcome to the wonderful world of the guitar!
