Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any prior music experience?
No. Our Early Beginner path starts from zero—how to hold the guitar, tune safely, and make your first clean chord.
How much should I practice?
Start with 10 focused minutes a day. We provide micro-drills that fit busy schedules and build consistency.
Will I learn full songs?
Yes. You’ll learn simplified versions first and then add rhythms and transitions to finish full arrangements.
Do I need to read sheet music?
No. We use chord diagrams, tabs, and clear plain-English instructions. Reading standard notation is optional.
What kind of guitar should I have?
A steel-string acoustic in good setup is perfect. If your guitar is hard to press, a setup from a local tech will help a lot.
How do refunds work?
If a course truly isn’t a fit, contact [email protected] within 14 days of purchase. We’ll review your case fairly.
Can kids use this course?
Yes, with adult guidance. Our language is clear and respectful, and lessons are family-friendly.
How is Emerald Tide Guitar different?
We avoid gimmicks. Editorial clarity, realistic goals, and song-first structure keep you advancing at a sustainable pace.
Do I need a metronome?
A metronome is helpful. We include timing cues and tempo ladders inside practice packs for steady growth.
