Questions
Is 20 minutes a day enough to learn guitar?
Yes. Twenty focused minutes daily is more effective than two hours once a week, because your hands and memory consolidate between sessions.
What should I do first when I practice?
Warm up for two or three minutes with easy finger exercises or strumming a chord you know. It prevents strain and gets your hands moving.

Yes. Enter your first name and email once and every Fretwork printable unlocks on your device. There is nothing to pay and no card needed.
