Guides

Learn guitar one clear step at a time

Short, practical guides for guitarists at every level. Each one explains a single skill — tuning by ear or with a tuner, practising with a metronome, changing chords without the gap, finding notes on the fretboard, using a capo, choosing an alternate tuning, improvising with the pentatonic scale — and gives you exercises you can start today.

Every guide links to the free tool you need to follow along, and to the chord, scale and tuning charts in our library. No fluff: steps, tables and the mistakes to avoid.

Want the routine done for you? FRET’s guided sessions turn these guides into a daily plan that fits the time you have, with a timer, a metronome and a streak to keep you going.
