Buy your first guitar wisely; Buy an affordable guitar, but not the cheapest guitar in the store. Some teachers recommend buying an acoustic because it’s generic.
Detune your guitar strings; use a standard tuner to get your guitars into tune, I recommend the guitar tuna app, it’s on app store and google playstore.
Start with the basics; learn the little things first, practice finger exercises.
Practice scales; learn one first, master it before learning the next one, use them to play songs.
Learn and practice chords; start with chord C F G, and Am, use them to play songs, practice standing up.
Play Slow; play slowly and correctly, then you increase the speed little by little. Use a metronome, you will find it in the guitar tuna app.
Memorize the fretboard; learn and practice the 5 pentatonic scales, this can help you with memorizing the fretboard of the guitar. Learn how to use guitar tabs.
Learn barre chords; also called movable chords, it helps you to play on all keys conveniently on the guitar.
Learn guitar playing techniques; learn and practice techniques like strumming, legato, arpeggios, string skipping, string bending, palm muting, sliding, vibrato, hammer-ons and pull-offs.
Be patient; you need time to learn and grow with it, don’t be in a haste. Practice every day.
Know what to practice next; become curious, watch videos of other people playing, learn more to practice more.
Stop comparing yourself to others; Stop comparing yourself to others right now. Compare yourself to yourself! Do better than you did yesterday. Listen to recordings of you playing a month before.
