๐ŸŽธ Free Online Beginner Guitar Program

Learn Guitar in 1 Month โ€” Must Have a Guitar

I'm offering **10โ€“20 spots** for a 1-month free online program. Learn your first chords and play your first song โ€” only for students who already have a guitar at home. No experience needed!

Program includes **one 30 min live online lesson per week for 4 weeks**. After each lesson, you'll receive **practice guidance via email** to help you prepare for the following week.

๐Ÿ“‹ One quick note: This free month is also a chance for me to get your feedback. I'll ask you about what's working, what's tricky, and what would make the program even better. Your input helps me improve the experience for everyone!

Only for students who have a guitar at home. Limited to the first 20 signups. No obligation after the free month.

How It Works

Three steps to your first song.

No experience needed. You'll need a guitar โ€” for online lessons bring your own, and if I'm coming to you I can bring one along - if you don't have one!

About Garth

A teacher who genuinely loves what he does.

Hi! I'm Garth, and teaching guitar to kids and beginners is honestly one of my favourite things in the world.

There's nothing quite like seeing a student's face when they play their first chord or strum a song they actually recognize. That moment of "wait โ€” I just did that" is why I do this.

I teach in a way that's encouraging and patient. We go at your pace, follow your interests, and celebrate every small win. Whether you dream of playing rock, pop, folk, or something you just heard on the radio โ€” we'll get there.

Every student is different, and that's what makes teaching so rewarding. I tailor every lesson to match where you are and where you want to go.
