Thomas S. says, "Heidi is an incredible teacher. She is always working to help me achieve my musical goals. As a voice instructor, she has helped me strengthen my diaphragm, find proper placement, and cast aside stubborn self doubt. She is an extremely proficient piano player, singer, and songwriter, as well as a great person to talk with.

I am flexible to a student's learning style, and offer YouTube video recaps to help the student retain the info discussed in our lesson It is extremely gratifying when it "clicks" for a student, and they begin to believe that they can really play music. I also enjoy learning about music that I otherwise would not know about through my students

Gavin H. says, "Matty is an extraordinary musician, and is a really intuitive teacher! Even though he didn't teach me for very long the amount I learned from him in the time that I DID spend with him helped fuel me to be where I am today. Matty is an awesome guy and a great teacher and he built me great fundamentals and explained things to me in a clear way that I was easily able to drive myself in the direction I wanted once we had reached a milestone with my skill set. I would recommend anyone affiliated with Common Courtesy because they are all talented, but I would absolutely recommend Matty to anyone who has a passion and is willing to learn! " Read more

Your Guitar Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

Guitar lessons can be one of the most useful ways to improve your ability and have more fun playing guitar. Finding the right guitar lessons and the right guitar instructor can be a difficult task: you don't know what you are getting until you try it. Lessons.com is a great space for you to figure out what the best guitar lessons for you are - this can be done with ratings on the site and in extra teacher information. In addition to this, here are some things you can do to find the right guitar lessons and teachers.

Start off figuring out what style you are looking for. Is it acoustic or electric? What music styles are you looking for? From country and bluegrass all the way to heavy metal and rock, there are so many different styles of guitar music. If you are just starting out and are not sure what to begin with, this is okay. Some instructors are very good at teaching beginners and helping them find out what they are passionate and good at. If you do know what you are interested in, the best thing to do is to find an instructor that teaches that style. On Lessons.com you can do this by reading through the teacher's description.

After you have selected a style and a teacher, you may want to keep some extra questions in mind for your first guitar lesson. An in person lesson can be very valuable, if you show up, and if you do the work that the instructor gives you for when you are not meeting. One of the greatest methods of improving is to consistently play. Play multiple times a week, get those practice repetitions in.

Once you have made it to your first lesson, there are some questions you should consider asking. Ask the guitar teacher about their experience. How long have they been playing? How long have they been teaching? What are they best at? What styles do they teach? What is their method of teaching guitar lessons? What extra resources can you use to further your learning? It is key to ask these questions and listen.

Once you have taken your lesson, you may want to look for free online resources to take a guitar lesson. From finding free guitar song tab sheets to watching YouTube of the best ways to learning guitar lessons, there is a wide range of free content when it comes to learning guitar lessons. Be sure to check back here on Lessons.com for free online guitar learning content.

Right now, you are at your jumping off point. Find what you are interested in, and pick an instructor and try it out. There is no time like the present, and jumping right in to lessons can take you one step further than you were before. Before long you will discover the fun of taking lessons for guitar.

The average cost for guitar lessons is $40 to $60 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.

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.

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.

A child as young as four 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.

Stephen is an extremely experienced and effective teacher. He tailors lessons to the student's skill and objectives and closely monitors progress to ensure the plan is still appropriate. He is a very good listener and works to ensure the student is comfortable and understanding the concepts. Stephen effectively structures the next lesson based on the progress achieved at the last lesson. He is an excellent communicator and explains complex concepts in plain English. He is always on time for lessons and is totally reliable. Overall an outstanding guitar teacher.
