Learn guitar with GuitarBuddy Play
All of these tools come from GuitarBuddy Play, my free guitar app. Besides the tools, it has short beginner lessons that take you from your first chord to your first songs, one small step a day. You can add it to your phone’s home screen and use it like any other app.
Is your guitar holding you back?
If chords buzz, strings are hard to press or your guitar won’t stay in tune, the problem is often the guitar, not you. A proper setup makes any guitar easier and nicer to play. I set up and repair electric, acoustic and bass guitars in Zandvoort, for players in Haarlem and Amsterdam. Book a guitar setup.
