Welcome to Guitar Kitchen!

Guitar Kitchen is a study method intended for the first 3-6 months of learning guitar. It currently consists of 12 progressive lessons that teach the beginner the basics of playing music on the guitar. There are also 3 lessons on how to play folk guitar.

Organization

The lessons section contains all the lessons.

The tools section has links to items that we recommend for learning. So far, this means a "favorite" metronome and what we think are the best albums to start out playing along to.

The help section has answers to commonly asked questions.

If you have a question or comment, go to our contact section.

Guitar Kitchen philosophy

Our teaching philosophy in brief:

• Musicality over technicality
• Proper technique + stay relaxed
• Play with people and records
• Make your own music

Teachers > internet!

Sure a bunch of amazing musicians learned music on their own. But taking lessons from a good teacher is the way to go! Guitar Kitchen strongly recommends finding a very good teacher in your area.

If, for some reason, you do not take lessons, learn from your friends, from music and from places like GuitarKitchen. Even if you do take lessons, talk to your friends, listen to music and check out Guitar Kitchen.
