If you need this…	AI does this
🗺️ A starter plan	A 4-week beginner roadmap
🛒 Gear	The minimum for beginners
📅 Daily practice	A 15-minute daily routine
❓ When you're stuck	Answers at your level

Let's take them one by one. 👇

🗺️ 1. Make a starter plan

"I'm a total beginner at guitar — make me a 4-week plan." → It builds a step-by-step roadmap of what to do first.

🛒 2. Choose your gear

"I'm starting home workouts — just the essentials." → It tells you the beginner gear you actually need, nothing over the top.

📅 3. A daily practice routine

"A 15-minute-a-day drawing routine." → It builds an easygoing habit you can keep.

💡 When you get stuck, just ask. Ask something specific like "my fingers can't press this chord" and it'll share the trick. It's your very own 24/7 tutor.

❓ 4. Clear up your questions

Ask about terms and basic theory "at a beginner's level." The things that had you stuck will finally click.

⚠️ A heads-up. ① Don't overdo exercise or dieting, and if you have pain or a medical condition, talk to a professional (health info here is for reference only). ② AI advice isn't always right, so pair it with practice videos and expert material.
