Guitar questions, answered

Do I need to read music to learn guitar?

No. Most guitarists learn from chord charts and tablature rather than standard notation, and Learnr teaches you to read both.

How long until I can play a song on guitar?

Many beginners play a simple song using a few open chords within their first couple of weeks of regular practice.
