Monophonic beginner track

Guitar Guide

Give guitar a real beginner lane instead of fake parity.

The guitar experience now starts honestly: setup, tuning, string names, tab reading, single-note riffs, open-chord readiness, and monophonic coaching. Chord-block timing and richer fretboard feedback stay on the roadmap until they are actually ready.

Setup And Tuning

Good beginner sessions start before the first riff.

  • Hold the guitar so fretting stays relaxed and the picking hand can move freely.
  • Tune before every session and re-check after a few minutes.
  • Memorize the six open strings so tabs and exercises stop feeling random.

Read Simple Tabs

Tab literacy is the fastest path to an early win.

  • Top line is the high string; bottom line is the low string.
  • Numbers tell you which fret to press on that string.
  • Start with single-note movement before adding chord changes or strumming patterns.

Recommended First Win

Treat accuracy as the milestone, not speed.

  • Tune the guitar.
  • Play an open-string or two-fret riff cleanly and evenly.
  • Use Guitar 101 missions and Coach Joy to clean up timing and intonation.
