FAQs

Does playing guitar hurt your fingers?

The bad news is that sore fingers go with the territory when learning guitar. The good news is that if you persevere for a few days up to a couple of weeks of regular playing, your body will adapt on its own.

Do I need to have my own guitar?

In order to improve, you need to spend time practicing and playing on your own, and therefore you need to have regular access to a guitar. So beg, borrow or buy. Guitars can be found at low enough prices that renting makes little sense.

Can I take guitar lessons with friend or relative?

Absolutely. Taking guitar lessons with a friend or loved one gives you someone to learn, troubleshoot, and jam with, and can be incredibly motivating.

How long does it take to get good?

A complete beginner who puts in regular practice can start playing pieces very well within just a few weeks, and can play beautifully within a few months.

More information can also be found on the FAQ page of our website.
