Tim B. says, "Keith is a wonderful guy. His patience is astounding. I am in my early 50's with no real musical experience and am now about 6 months into these lessons and have enjoyed the process very much. I'm not progressing terribly quickly which is entirely my fault due to it being difficult to make time to practice enough. His instruction is great and he will tailor lessons to your specific interests. It's unlikely I will ever become a rock star so the most important aspect of taking lessons for me is to enjoy the process and have fun. I think one of Keith's great strengths is his ability to read people and meet them where they are - I really enjoy going to guitar lesson every week even if I haven't practiced much. I always have fun and he's a cool guy to hang out with. If your desire is to learn and improve rapidly, Keith will have a plan for that too, and you will be challenged. He's generous with his time and a likeable person, and he has strong teaching skills and vast knowledge about playing the guitar. I don't think you could find a better person to learn from."

Learning to play an instrument involves practicing. Wow, what a stupid sounding statement. Practicing is only marginally profitable unless you know “how” to practice. I could tell you right here, in a few words, how to practice and you might say, “ Well, of course, anyone would know that.” The problem is, knowing and doing it two different things. I like to ask a new player, “What are you hoping to song or melody are you hoping to learn to play?” For me, this way of learning an instrument is a lot more fun than playing scales and arpeggios for years, in hopes to someday being able I to play some of the stuff really want.

Are electric guitar lessons worth it?

Electric guitar lessons are worth it if you want to learn more at a faster pace, develop a better technique, and get customized instructions to improve your style. Only an experienced electric guitar player can understand how to help you improve, so don't settle for a general guitar instructor.

What age is good to start electric guitar lessons?

A good age for kids to start electric guitar lessons is from 6 to 10 years old. Another indication they're ready to learn is whenever they're physically able to hold the guitar and have the hand strength to press the strings.

Adults of all ages can also start electric guitar lessons at any time. With the right guidance and consistent practice, anyone can master the electric guitar.

How many lessons does it take to learn electric guitar?

The number of lessons it takes you to learn electric guitar depends on your goals and how much time you dedicate to practicing those epic solos. Playing a simple tune might take 2 to 6 months of weekly classes.

If you're aiming to rock out like a pro, expect a time investment of 4 to 10 years.

Are acoustic and electric guitar lessons the same?

Acoustic and electric guitar lessons aren't the same because these are two entirely different instruments with unique equipment features.

Learning to play electric guitar requires:

  • Knowing how to use an amplifier and pedals that create sound effects
  • Understanding how to adjust the speaker connection
  • Knowledge of genres like rock, metal, blues, and jazz
  • Special techniques like power chords, palm muting, and string bending

Learning to play an acoustic guitar means you focus on classical, folk, country, pop, or blues music. A pick is optional in acoustic lessons, and you don't need amplifiers or cables. Acoustic teachers also place more emphasis on fingerpicking patterns.

Music By Ear and For The Heart
Seth M.
I first picked up a guitar when I was 14. Ever since I first started with Francisco he was informative, patient, and energetic. His willingness to meet me where I was at in my musical journey at the time made me want to push myself harder and find success. Francisco worked with me to find songs that I liked that also helped me learn more about music and understand the process each step of the way. I highly recommend Francisco Rojas as a guitar and vocal teacher!
