Guitar tuition to all ages in all styles from beginner to professional. My names Deen. I live in Hollywood and I am from Liverpool UK. I am a professional guitar player, guitar instructor, band member, songwriter and touring artist and I have given private guitar tuition for over 35 years. I have dealt with all aspects of the music industry from professional studio recording to rehearsal to live performance including extensive touring experience. I firmly believe that the best approach to teaching is on a ‘friend to friend’ basis, as this relaxes the student and gives them confidence, which in turn greatly improves their learning curve. Basi

Are acoustic guitar lessons worth it?

Acoustic guitar lessons are worth it because the structured teaching style motivates students and enhances faster progress. A private instructor also helps to prevent the development of poor techniques common in self-taught musicians.

What age is good to start acoustic guitar lessons?

You can start acoustic guitar lessons for children from ages 6 to 10 years old while adults can start lessons at any age. The journey of mastering the guitar is dependent on your dedication to practice and your teacher's qualifications.

How many acoustic guitar lessons do I need?

The amount of acoustic guitar lessons you need will depend on what you want to accomplish and how frequently you practice. Learning a simple song takes 2 to 6 months on average. However, mastering the guitar like a professional musician takes 4 to 10 years.

Is there a difference between electric and acoustic guitar lessons?

There are many differences between electric and acoustic guitar lessons because these instruments have unique features.

An electric guitar requires you to learn:

How to use an amplifier
How to work with effects and foot pedals
What makes a wide range of sounds for rock, metal, blues, or jazz
Techniques like power chords, palm muting, and note bending

However, learning to play an acoustic guitar is simpler because it doesn't connect to amplifiers or cables. Acoustic guitar playing uses different finger techniques to make a resonant sound suitable for folk, country, pop, and blues music.

How do I find the best acoustic guitar lessons near me?

Before settling on a guitar teacher, it's crucial to:

Review the prices from at least 3 different teachers.
Examine reviews about them on Google and Lessons.
Ask for references from other students they've taught.
Consult with other parents to gauge their children's experience with the teacher.
Get a written schedule and contract prior to the first lesson.
Evaluate the teacher's compatibility before signing up for a full month.

Noel is an amazing player and teacher, together we have worked on proper technique, ear training, music theory, composition, and various practice methods. Since meeting him I have become a much better guitar player, and overall musician. My favorite part about working with him is his ability to learn any song by ear within minutes, which we can then dissect together. He is truly the full package, and I strongly recommend him to any student, beginner, or professional looking to improve. Very grateful to have met him, and am looking forward to taking lessons for the foreseeable future!

There are dozens of talented musicians in LA. But not all of them are talented teachers. Ozzy is both. So when you get lessons from him you're not just getting someone who knows music really well you're getting someone who knows how to teach YOU music really well. Not only that, he's talented on multiple instruments so you could basically hire this guy to train you're entire band if you wanted to.

Dylan is by far one of the best guitar teachers I've ever had. I haven't been playing guitar for very long and most of the teachers I've had mad me feel rushed when it came to trying to master the basics. Dylan however was so easy to work with and didn't make make me feel pressured to learn everything on the dot. He took the time to work with me and made me the center of his attention for the entire lesson. I felt like I had more improvement with myself as a player under his instruction than with my previous teachers.
