The core building blocks of learning guitar
Learning guitar is built on a few core elements. At the most basic level, it comes down to chords and songs.
Chords
Start hereYou can both find the chords here in these pages, and in the app, where you also can play them and get feedback on your playing.
Most songs are built from a small number of common chords. Learning how to play chords cleanly, switch between them smoothly, and recognize how they’re used is one of the first steps for every guitarist.
You’ll learn:
- Open chords for beginners
- Proper finger placement
- How to avoid buzzing or muted strings
- How to move between chords
You can explore individual chord guides here on our site, including step-by-step explanations and practice tips.
Songs
Coming soonIn the Gibson App you can learn a wide range of songs, here we will present a selection of them to get you started.
Once you know a few chords, the next step is using them in real music. Song-based learning helps you understand how chords are used together, practice rhythm and timing, and stay motivated by playing recognizable music.
