The main purpose of the article is to present textbooks for guitar written by Slovenian authors and published between 1925 and 1950. With basic instructions for playing in Slovenian and mostly domestic musical examples they satisfied the needs of selftaught people for the basics of guitar technique and chordal accompaniment to singing. The first textbooks were entitled Kitarska šola (Guitar School), the basic problems of the guitar playing were treated comprehensively and as such did not envisage continuation. In addition to the basics of the guitar playing, they also included music theory, which was essential for self-taught people without prior musical knowledge, as this was the only way they could follow the practical instructions for playing according to the musical notation. With the reintroduction of guitar teaching into public music education, textbooks were created from the end of the 1960s, entitled Začetnica za kitaro (The Textbook for Beginners) with sequels, and followed the guidelines and development of public music education.
