Why Five Minute Guitar exists

A calmer, kinder way to actually learn guitar.

Most guitar courses are built for people who already play. They dump seven chords on you in week one, assume you have an hour every evening, and treat any missed day like a moral failure. Then they wonder why 90% of beginners quit inside a month.

We wanted the opposite of that. A lesson small enough to actually do on a Tuesday night when the toddler is finally in bed. A path that forgives you for missing Wednesday. A teacher who talks to you like a friend, not a drill sergeant.

So Five Minute Guitar is exactly that: one five-minute lesson a day, a warm-up, a skill, a play-along, and a kind word at the end. That is the whole thing.

What we believe

Four quiet principles

Small beats big

A five-minute lesson you do beats an hour you don't. Every time.

Kindness beats shame

No streak-shaming, no red badges, no 'you've broken your streak' guilt trips.

Songs beat theory

You learn faster when you're playing something you actually recognise.

Honest beats hyped

Free forever plan. No trial that auto-charges. Cancel in one click.
