Sound familiar?

Most beginners quit in the first month — not because guitar is too hard, but because lessons are too big.

You sit down to practise and forty minutes later you've watched three videos and played nothing.
You keep starting the same beginner course and stopping around lesson four.
Your fingers hurt, your brain is tired, and the lesson wants you to learn seven chords.
You feel like everyone else got it and you're just… bad at this.

None of that is your fault. It is the format. Five minutes a day — done properly — beats an hour on Sunday you never actually do.

How it works

Three tiny steps. That's it.

1

Answer 4 quick questions

We shape your first week around your guitar, your time, and your goal.

We remember where you were. Miss a day? Just carry on. You're not behind.

The six-stage course

A calm path from 'never touched a guitar' to 'actually playing songs'.

Stage 1

Hello guitar

Hold it, tune it, play your first sound.

Stage 2

First two chords

Em and Cadd9. Change between them slowly.

Stage 3

Your first song

Play along to a real song, one strum at a time.

Stage 4

Rhythm you can feel

Simple strumming that actually sounds musical.

Stage 5

More songs, more chords

G, D, Am — the ones every song uses.

Stage 6

Playing on your own

Pick songs you love and work them out yourself.

Why five minutes works

Small enough to actually do. Often enough to actually stick.

Acoustic and electric guitars laid out with plectrums and coffee

Your brain likes tiny wins

A five-minute lesson has almost no friction. You'll start it on days you'd normally skip. Those daily reps compound — this is how skills actually build.

Your fingers need reps, not hours

Short, frequent practice trains muscle memory better than the occasional long session. Five minutes today beats an hour "when you have time".

FAQ

Questions we hear a lot

Do I need a guitar first?

Yes — any acoustic or electric works. If you're picking one, we've got a short guide in the beginner course.

Is it really only five minutes?

Yes. Each daily lesson is designed to be done in one sitting under five minutes. You can always practise more if you want to.

I've tried apps before and quit. Why would this be different?

Because we made the lesson small enough that quitting feels silly. There's no streak-shaming, no big commitment — just today.

Can I cancel?

Anytime, in one click. You keep any progress and the free plan is always available.

Is this suitable for kids?

The pacing suits ages 12+. For younger children we recommend an in-person teacher.

Five minutes today. That's all we're asking.
