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

GUITAR: THE SHORT, SWEET & SIMPLE WAY Tutoring beginners is my specialty because I have lived through and experienced the frustration of what it feels like to be lost in the sauce and not have someone to lead, guide, and help me get off to a very good start down the road of my musical journey. My goal is to help my students get started in the right and most efficient way on their journey through the music wonderland. Therefore, I will help to reduce the mental and academic stress that most people seem to carry as a stumbling block when it comes to learning to play a musical instrument. I think that I have some valuable knowledge that I h...

Anne W. says, "Stephen was a lifesaver during COVID. The virtual lessons gave the kids a sense of connection that wasn't academic- a portal to the outside world. He is a patient teacher and incredibly understanding and helpful to me as a parent with all aspects from technology to scheduling. Before each lesson, he communicates pro-actively so we know what's coming and is always prepared. Both kids enjoy the lessons. They continue to gain confidence and grow their interest and skills almost a year and a half later. We would all highly recommend guitar lessons with Stephen." Read more

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?

Brent is a fantastic teacher. He goes at the student’s pace and really helps you understand concepts before moving on. I am thoroughly enjoying my lessons and believe, finally at age 47, I’m becoming a true guitar player!

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.

Chas really goes in-depth with some of the harder to understand concepts and explains them thoroughly. Enough to the point where even when I knew nothing about music theory I was still able to understand the concepts. A great teacher and very supportive mentor when I shared musical ideas that I had been developing with him.
