I don't teach guitar in my classes in grade 7/8, but I get a lot of students who show interest in learning to play. Here are some resources to help you teach yourself.
NOTE: Nothing is better for learning to play the guitar than studying with a guitar teacher. If you are serious about learning the instrument and can afford it, please consider this option first. Click here to search for local private music teachers.
