Lessons for Beginners

Des has developed a tried and tested method to help absolute beginners to quickly gain confidence to read sheet music, train fingers to move efficiently between the frets, and ensuring that each note sounds sharp and sweet.

He also encourages beginners to have fun, and to sing along with friends or on their own while playing the guitar.  That is why learners are also encouraged to play the songs they themselves like best.

Here is a short beginner's lesson on how to play an acoustic guitar...
