New Guitarist? Start here!
Welcome to the Andy guitar beginner's course for acoustic guitar. For the returners, this is everything you enjoyed about the original beginner's course, but bringing it bang up to date and making it far more of a holistic programme with all the jam tracks and community sport we offer with the Andy guitar membership. For any new players that have perhaps never even held a guitar before, this course is the perfect starting point. As part of a bigger syllabus and a bigger programme that is designed to get you results and playing real songs as fast as possible, but also give you the support you need as part of the end of guitar membership. Don't delay, get started right away, check out what's available, and get involved with the community aspects that we have available and also the live streams for the best support you can get online, and I'll see you there.

Welcome to Andy Guitar!
If you've just picked up an acoustic guitar, or you're coming back to it after a few years, you're in exactly the right place.
I'm going to take you step by step from your very first chords and strumming patterns to playing real songs you love.
You've found yourself at the very start of my beginners' course. This takes you from never having played to strumming your first songs, one manageable step at a time.
Don't just take my word for it. See what my students say.
Everything is laid out in the right order, so you'll always know what to learn next.
And if you want extra support, Andy Guitar membership gives you jam tracks, weekly live lessons and a community of guitarists learning alongside you.
So grab your guitar, start with the first lesson below, and let's get playing!

New to guitar? Level 0 will get you set up properly before you play your first chord.
Got a guitar and want to start playing? Get in tune, then learn your first chord in Level 1. You can come back to these basics whenever you need them.
