James Zota Baker Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach: My approach to teaching Guitar is a friendly, but structured approach. Just showing students how to play part of a song is "Candy" Showing students how to really understand the Guitar and Music Theory inside and out is the "Main Course" I like a Healthy Blend of the two. When my students go out into the world I want them to be armed with all the tools necessary to be a complete guitarist. I will teach you Open Chords, Barre Chords, Rock Chords, Scales, Chord Scales. Sight reading and Ear Training and the confidence to make it all work. If you come to my studio for lessons, we can record the lessons on Logic X so you can

My music history:
I am a music major from CSUN. I started playing guitar when I was nine years old. I took private lessons right away until I began learning by ear. I spent the rest of my childhood by playing in bands, finally playing with the best band out, the Novelles, a Happening. We recorded an album in 1968 which wasn't released until 2005 and again in 2007 on Radioactive label. We haven't seen one cent. As for Ed Benson, he enrolled at Los Angeles Valley College near the age of 33. He learned a lot about music composition and classical guitar. I took classical guitar lessons my entire tim

Justin Smolian Guitar Lessons

My teaching approach:
I like to base my lessons around what the student wants to learn whether it be very strict classical guitar instruction or very relaxed lessons focused learning to jam with your friends. I always include technique and a little theory in my lessons but I prefer to end the lessons by teaching the student a song that he/she wants to learn so they have something fun to practice during the week
My influences are:
anyone who makes passionate music
My guitar lessons take place in:
The teacher's studio or the student's home

Frequently asked questions
How much do guitar lessons cost?
The average cost for guitar lessons is $40 per hour. Available for all ages and all skill levels of guitar playing, the pricing of individual or group guitar lessons can start as low as $20/hour. Teachers charge based on their location, years of teaching, levels of knowledge and expertise, and travel time (if applicable). Lessons can last from half an hour to a full hour, and are priced accordingly.
How long does it take to learn guitar?
If you just want to learn a few chords to strum along to some songs, then learning to play the guitar really isn't that hard for most people. Many students are able to learn a few chords and get a decent strumming pattern going after a few weeks. If you've had prior experience playing an instrument, you can expect to pick it up after just a few lessons.
Should I take guitar lessons online or in person lessons?
Private in person guitar lessons with a skilled instructor that is focused on you, your interests, and your progress is the most sought after experience and hard to replicate online. Plus, you tend to learn faster in person. On the other hand, online guitar lessons are quickly becoming popular. The selection of teachers is not limited to those in your geographical area and you can communicate via video in real time with your teacher in the comfort of your home. When filling out your request on Lessons.com, we recommend you select both online and local options, then compare your options and see what works best for you.
How old should children be before starting guitar lessons?
A child as young as 4 can begin to learn if they are really motivated and have a patient, creative, and devoted teacher. However, we've found almost all kids under six are too young to benefit from formal guitar lessons, as they require dexterity and levels of concentration children their age can't provide. That being said, lessons do not need to be formal right off the bat, and can just provide a fun introduction. Also, your child may benefit from using a ukulele to start, as it's smaller and easier to learn, but very similar instrument.
