Hi, I’m Allen Mathews.<\/p><\/div>\n

Hello Guitarist,<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for beginner guitar lessons, you\u2019re in the right place. (If you\u2019re not a beginner, perhaps you’re an intermediate guitarist<\/a> or an advanced guitarist<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

This is a big website with hundreds of tutorials and resources. But not all are appropriate or useful for you now. So below, I\u2019ll point you in the right direction.<\/p>\n

First, your main challenges as a beginner are these:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Training your fingers to work on the guitar<\/li>\n
  2. Learning the common terms and general mechanics of the guitar<\/li>\n
  3. Figuring out what to do each day (specifically)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    ClassicalGuitarShed.com can help you with each of these.\u00a0Here are some options to get you started. You can return to this page anytime and work through the list.<\/p>\n
