Lockdown doesn’t have to be so bad, you could learn a new skill such as playing the guitar…why not check out some quick guides from Kevin O”Byrne. All you need is a guitar to practise with and a minimum of 15 minutes a day. Step 1 – Getting to know your guitar…

If you don’t have a quitar let us know your situation and we will try and see if we can connect you with someone within your 5km that might lend or donate one to you.

Choose the cord you wish to practise from the list below and get started. Don’t worry if you don’t get it at first, just like the greatest musicians and athletes it takes lots and lots of practise. The more you practise the easier it will get. You don’t need to sound like The Edge, so long as you’re enjoying it – that’s what counts.
