Frequently Asked Questions
How long until I can play basic songs?
Most beginners can strum through two-chord songs within 2–3 weeks with 15–20 minutes of daily practice. The key is slow, consistent rhythm and learning smooth chord changes.
Do I need any previous music experience?
No. Our “Absolute Beginner” path assumes zero experience and explains every step, from holding the guitar to reading simple chord diagrams.
What guitar should I buy as a beginner?
Choose a comfortable steel-string acoustic with low action. You don’t need an expensive model—reliability and setup matter more than brand. Our catalog includes a setup checklist PDF.
How much should I practice?
Aim for 15–25 minutes a day, five days a week. Short, frequent sessions outperform marathon practice. Use the Tempo Tapper on our home page to check your groove.
Can I get feedback on my playing?
Yes. Selected courses include Live Q&A and guided feedback prompts. You can also record short clips to track your own progress privately.
What if I’m left-handed?
Our chord diagrams and instructions include left-handed notes where it affects grip or strum emphasis. The fundamentals remain the same.
Do you offer refunds?
Yes. We provide a 14-day satisfaction window on eligible digital courses that have not been fully consumed. See our Terms for full details.
How do I access purchases?
After checkout, courses appear in your account library. Use the Sign In button in the header. PDFs and practice tracks are downloadable within each course page.
Will I learn music theory?
You’ll learn just enough theory to make progress: counting beats, understanding chord families, and recognizing common progressions used in beginner songs.
