Beginner Guitar Lessons for Adults in Bromley

If you’ve never picked up a guitar in your life, this is exactly where to start. Lessons begin from absolute zero — how to hold the guitar, how to tune it, your first chords and notes — with nothing assumed and no embarrassment about starting from nothing at whatever age, because that’s precisely the normal starting point for almost every adult student who comes through the door.

What the first few lessons cover

• Holding the guitar correctly and comfortably
• Basic tuning (and how to do it yourself between lessons)
• Your first notes, then your first simple piece or chord pattern
• Reading either standard notation or chord/tab notation, depending on whether you choose the classical or fingerstyle route
• A realistic, unrushed practice routine that fits around your week

Classical or fingerstyle — which should a beginner choose?

There’s no wrong answer, and many students only decide after a first lesson. As a rough guide: choose classical if the discipline of proper technique and reading music appeals, and you like the idea of working towards recognised repertoire. Choose fingerstyle if you’re drawn to a specific style of song and want to be playing something recognisable as early as possible.
