Im Giving Guitar Lessons Today ?

We’ve had a reader question come in on the subject of guitar lessons. Let’s take a look:

Question: I think I’d start out with teaching my friend a G, C, and maybe a D. I don’t wanna go overboard with the chords, though. I plan on showing her 2 or 3 basic chords , names of strings, and how frets work.
Anything else I should show her? Oh yeah, tune a guitar.
Answer: Tuning is a major thing haha. Ummm, teach her what each string is (EADGBE). And briefly show various notes on the bottom E and A strings so she can kind of guess where barre chords are. Dont expect to show her harmonics for a while or hammer ons/pull offs just yet. Teach her the PROPER way of holding a pick and playing. Trust me, bad habits form early.
