Guitar lessons for beginners – Novi Zagreb

Never held a guitar? Perfect – we start from zero, step by step, with no previous experience and no guitar of your own needed.

From your first note to your first song

The first four modules of the programme are made for beginners:

  1. 1

    Get to know the guitar

    The parts of the guitar, proper posture and how to tune it accurately.

  2. 2

    The pick and a clean tone

    Alternate picking, the "Spider" finger exercise and your first work with a metronome.

  3. 3

    Tablature and diagrams

    You learn to read TABs and chord diagrams, so you can pick up songs on your own.

  4. 4

    First chords and rhythm

    The basic major and minor chords, smooth changes and right-hand rhythms.

After that come barre chords, expressive techniques, scales and improvisation. See the full 10-module programme.

Why learn with a teacher rather than alone?

Your teacher, Filip Šindler, started out on YouTube himself: his fingers hurt and he didn't know why he was playing what he was playing. He got as far as YouTube would take him, and it wasn't enough.

That's why in the lesson every chord and every exercise comes with an explanation – so that you understand what you're playing and why. Read Filip's story.

What makes starting easier for beginners

  • You don't need your own guitar

    In the lesson you play our Harley Benton guitar. When you want to buy your own, read how to choose your first guitar.
  • You can start with a single lesson

    A single lesson costs €25.00 and doesn't commit you to a package. Monthly packages start at €60.00 per person.
  • For all ages

    The lessons are suitable for all ages – from children to adults who have always wanted to play.

Questions beginners often ask

Do I need to read music?

No. In module three we learn tablature and chord diagrams, notation made specifically for guitar.

Am I too old to start playing guitar?

No. The lessons are suitable for all ages and we start from your level.

Will my fingers hurt?

At first that's normal. Your fingertips get used to the strings over time, and short, regular practice helps it pass more easily.

How fast will I progress?

That depends mostly on how much you practise between lessons. Read more in How long does it take to learn guitar?
