Book a guitar teacher in Shanty Bay

In Shanty Bay, private guitar tutoring averages $40/h per session.

Pricing depends on a few key elements:

New guitarists benefit most from learning posture, tuning by ear or with a tuner, and a handful of open chords.

• Guitar anatomy: understanding terms like fret, nut, and bridge makes lessons much easier to follow.
• Posture and hand position: sit with the guitar body on your thigh, neck angled upward at about 45 degrees, and keep your wrist relaxed.
• Tuning: standard tuning is E-A-D-G-B-E from lowest to highest string, and staying in tune trains your ear.
• Open chords: these five shapes let you play countless popular songs within weeks.
• Strumming patterns: consistent strumming connects your chords into actual music.

Once you master these five areas, progressing to intermediate techniques becomes much easier.

The three-
fret rule is a shortcut linking two essential scales—minor and major pentatonic—using the same fingering.

• Example: the A minor pentatonic at fret 5 becomes G major pentatonic at fret 2—same shape, different root.
• The benefit: learning one pattern unlocks both minor and major sounds without extra memorization.
• When to use it: switch between them mid-solo to shift the mood from dark to cheerful.

Working with a tutor lets you practice this concept over backing tracks until it feels natural.
