Clear strum targets
Every lesson says exactly which strings to strum and marks the strings that stay quiet.
Beginner guitar mini-course
Learn guitar one string at a time.
Start with tiny 3-string chords. Add strings level by level until full open chords feel playable.
Why it works
Make the guitar smaller first.
New players often get handed six strings, full open chords, and too many things to control. String by String Guitars starts with a small target, then expands the instrument only after each level feels comfortable.
Plain fingering cards
Each chord lists open strings, fretted notes, muted strings, and finger numbers in beginner-readable language.
Real progressions
Practice useful loops like C - G - Am - Em and G - D - Em - C from the first lesson.
The string ladder
Four levels from tiny chords to full open shapes.
3 strings
Three-string song loop
C - G - Am - Em on the G, B, and high E strings.
4 strings
Add the D string
Bring in the fourth string so familiar shapes start sounding fuller.
5 strings
Add the A string
Use C and Am shapes, then learn why some chords still begin on D.
6 strings
Use the full guitar
Finish with G - D - Em - C and the control to avoid strings each chord does not use.
Inside the app
See each step before the guitar gets bigger.
The course keeps the screen focused on the current string set, the exact chord shape, and the strings a beginner should avoid.
Keep going
After the string ladder, move into deeper guitar tools.
String by String Guitars is the free first step. These apps pick up when the first open-chord path starts feeling playable.
