## What is First Guitar?

First Guitar - Your Friendly Companion from Zero to "I Can Play a Song!"

"I don't know where to start." "I can't keep up with chord changes."
…You bought a guitar, but it's just sitting there, right?

'First Guitar' breaks one song into surprisingly small steps, letting you progress at your own pace, one step at a time. No need to read sheet music. Detailed, careful, and supportive all the way through.

▼ Perfect for you if:
・You just bought a guitar and don't know where to begin
・YouTube lessons move too fast to follow
・You have a chord book but can't figure out how to use it in real songs
・You tried before, gave up, and want to try again

▼ Small Steps, Steady Progress
Each song is broken into 10–20 mini-steps. "Let's just press this one chord first." "Now let's try switching between two chords." We minimize what you need to do and guide you clearly.
The "locked" system won't let you skip ahead until you've completed the previous step—so no stumbling by skipping. The feeling of "I did it!" builds up and keeps you going.

▼ Key Features
【Practice Mode】
・Single Chord Practice: Get the feel of pressing one chord slowly
・Chord Rhythm Practice: Strum in rhythm with the metronome
・String-by-String Practice: Check each string while memorizing finger placement
・Full Playthrough: Play a whole song using what you've built up step by step

【Support Features】
・Tuning Guide: Screen-guided tuning steps
・Capo Guide: Photo-illustrated guide for where to put your capo
・Chord Encyclopedia: Check fingering for chords with photos & diagrams anytime
・Metronome: Adjust tempo freely for practice

【Motivation Design】
・Exaggerated praise every time you clear a step
・Screen won't sleep during practice so you stay focused
・SafeArea support for a clean experience without notch or home bar interference

▼ No Registration Required, Start Immediately
No email registration needed. Open the app and start practicing right away. Progress is saved, so you can pick up right where you left off tomorrow.

▼ Premium Plan (Subscription)
Unlock all songs and advanced content with a Premium Plan.
・Monthly Plan
・3-Month Plan (Great Value)
・Annual Plan (Best Value)

▼ Song Lineup

------
Now, pick up your guitar and take your first step toward "that first song."
Even if you stumble, it's okay. I'm right here cheering you on.
