The 4-Week Beginner Practice Plan

Four weeks, one focus each week, using the tools already on this site. No fluff, no upsell — just a sequence that gets you from "I don't know where to start" to actually playing something on purpose.

Week 1 — Feel the time

Before notes, timing.

Most beginners chase notes before they can keep a beat, and it shows. Set a slow, steady click and just tap or strum along until you stop having to think about it.

Week 2 — Learn the neck

Know where every note lives.

Start with the natural notes (no sharps or flats) on the low three strings. Tap the fretboard to hear each pitch, then try the Find-the-Note game to test yourself.

Week 3 — Your first scale

One scale, played on purpose.

The blues scale is a forgiving, useful place to start — it sounds musical almost immediately. Learn where the notes sit, then use Path to hear how each one pulls toward or away from home.

Week 4 — Train your ear

Recognize what you're hearing.

Step through intervals with Ladder so you start recognizing distances by ear, not just by fret count. If a term trips you up along the way, Gap has the plain-English version.
