I have a different approach than most “professional instructors“… As I taught myself over the last 35 years and seem to have a pretty decent approach to it, I won’t teach people how to play songs. I will teach people how to understand the mechanics of learning how to play the guitar your desire to play the guitar determines how much progress you make, how much time you’re willing to invest into it and trust me that is number one on the list of commitments you must make to yourself if you ever wanna sound anything near what the music in your head is sounding like I created my own practice techniques and they were all geared towards building my

As is states in the name, these are not limited to simple guitar lessons. I have been an avid songwriter for almost 20 years. Yes, I can help you learn to read tabs, play scales, chordes, strum, fingerpick, and develop styles from folk to heavy metal—but what I am truly passionate about is helping you become a songwriter. I started off as an intimidated teenager with a horrible singing voice and crippling stage fright. But with persistence and passion, I got to the point of headlining venues, as well as running my own open mic in San Francisco. These lessons can start at any point in your musical development, though I will take you through e...

Hello my name is Ruben Gonzales, i am 23 years old and have been playing guitar for 7 years now. I’m not the most technically adept player myself but anything I ever wanted to learn I gave it my all and figured it out and through those trials and errors I believe I built a good skill set and foundation for my playing and so I believe I could be of great assistance to any beginners or people struggling to make progress. I like to think music is not a talent or gift that one has but can be formed around one’s own idiosyncrasies

Your Guitar Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

How much do guitar lessons cost near me?

Guitar lessons cost $35 to $70 per lesson, depending on if they last 30 minutes or up to 1 hour. If it's a one-on-one lesson, it'll cost around $45 to $70 hourly. Learning guitar in a group is cheaper at $25 to $35 per session.

If you're taking lessons every month, it adds up to $170 to $315 with the typical prepaid discount.

Are guitar lessons worth it?

Guitar lessons are worth it since only a professional teacher giving you live feedback can guide you to learn faster. A good instructor helps you understand your mistakes and prevents you from developing bad habits.

Learning guitar by yourself takes a lot longer and won't prepare you as well to play in public.

At what age should I start guitar lessons?

Children can start guitar lessons from the ages of 6 to 10, or when they can comfortably hold the guitar and press the strings. Adults can start guitar lessons at any age, provided they practice regularly and patiently.

How many guitar lessons do I need?

The number of guitar lessons you need varies according to your goal and your practice routine. For many people, it typically takes about 2 to 6 months to play a simple tune. Mastering the guitar like a professional can take anywhere from 4 to 10 years.

What do you learn in guitar lessons?

In most guitar lessons, you can expect to learn:

  • How to correctly position your fingers to play chords
  • How to tune your guitar
  • How to play various scales
  • New techniques for plucking and strumming
  • How to read sheet music.

Are online guitar lessons good?

Online guitar lessons cost $35 to $55 per hour and are good for getting personal instruction from skilled teachers worldwide. Take advantage of flexible scheduling and immediate feedback while learning new guitar-playing styles. Plus, you can easily record lessons to review their advice later.

How do I find the best guitar lessons near me?

In order to find the best guitar lessons for you, look through nearby teachers listed here on the Lessons website. You can also ask for teachers at local music stores or community colleges.

Before you hire a guitar teacher, make sure to:

  • Check out prices from at least 3 different teachers.
  • Read their reviews on Lessons and Google.
  • Ask for a list of their current or previous students that you can talk to.
  • Talk to other parents about the teacher's reputation with their children.
  • Make sure you get a written agreement and schedule before your first lesson.
  • Avoid making a big payment upfront for a month of lessons until you're comfortable with the teacher.

What questions do I ask when choosing a guitar teacher?

To find the right guitar teacher, you can ask them these questions:

  • What kind of music degree do you have?
  • How many years of experience do you have in teaching guitar?
  • Can I have a free trial lesson to see if your teaching style helps me?
  • What is the average age of your students?
  • Will you assign me finger exercises as homework?
  • How often should I practice between lessons?
  • What textbooks do I need, and where can I buy used ones?
  • How many guitar-playing styles are you an expert in?
  • Can you modify your teaching style to suit my learning abilities?
  • What should I bring to our lessons, and how long is each one?
  • Can I get a copy of our schedule, agreement, and payment terms?
  • What is your policy if I have to cancel a class due to an emergency?
  • Can I choose some of my favorite songs to learn on the guitar?

Joshua and his wife Tara are great people. My son had zero experience going in, and within a year he was coming up with his own songs, and even some lyrics too!!!!!! Joshua even got my son to play an open mic in front of a room full of people. Definitely a proud mama moment.
