- At what age can a student begin lessons? – Ideally, seven years and above. This depends on how keen the student is…as the first lesson is without cost or obligation, I do assess if I think they are ready.
- How often should I play the guitar? – I advise at least 15 minutes per day. If this is not possible every other day.
- How do I know when it’s time to change strings? – Your strings will sound dull and they will be discoloured.
- Why do my strings buzz when I try to play a chord? – One of two reasons. 1. Your fingers are not pressed down hard enough on the strings, creating buzz. 2. The set up of the guitar is incorrect; we can help if this is the case.
