This guitar lesson is for absolute beginners. It covers five simple steps that you can use to play your first song on the guitar. NO previous skill is required. This first guitar lesson assumes you haven’t even picked up a guitar before. It’s intended to be the very first guitar lesson you use as a beginner guitarist.

The five steps in this lesson are:

0:34 – Guitar Fundamentals
2:50 – Basic Guitar Strumming
8:06 – Basic Guitar Chords
12:24 – Changing Chords Smoothly
14:35 – Playing Your First Song

You’ll start by learning some fundamentals like how to hold the guitar and three simple numbering systems for the guitar. After that you’ll learn how to strum the guitar and how to play your first guitar chords. Then, for step four, Nate shares tips on how to change between chords smoothly as this is a common challenge for beginners. Finally, you’ll learn how to play your very first song.

I never touched a guitar in my 55 years of life and I think that you're a great teacher. Keep it up, thanks alot.

Funny, I stumbled on this song as a learner on my own. The second chord in the real song is all up strokes and syncopated on the upbeat. First chord down.

Any left handers out there? Im just starting to learn guitar, and Im left handed, a right handed teacher told me to learn to play as a right hander, that it will be just as easy, and later I will be able to pick up any guitar and be able to play, without having to restring it, to lefty…. Any thoughts?

Glad to have found a trustworthy playlist of good guitar lessons! Had a guitar that my dad's friend gifted us like four years ago. I always neglected it and let it collect dust because the strings were damaged and younger me didn't really have any competence to give it a try. I recently uncovered some old songs that I had written in the past and been listening to a lot of guitar covers lately, so I thought, "Maybe I can get it fixed?" Time to go get that guitar and purchase some new strings!

Thanks so much for the videos, Guitareo!

Can somebody help me like whenever I watch a tutorial on how to play guitar I notice that their strings are going from thickest to thinnest mine go from thinnest to thickest I'm confused like does it matter? Can I still play the same way as they are ?
