Gregory J. K. says, "I am a "senior citizen", and believe it's never too late to learn new skills. I was fortunate in finding Mark Avery on your website, and have been taking lessons from him for a couple of months now. Mark is an excellent teacher. I've always been able to strum a few chords, but Mark has me learning to read music and tackling jazz pieces I couldn't imagine trying previously. In addition to his extensive knowledge of the guitar, Mark is also very patient, which really helps. I highly recommend him…if he can work you in." Read more

Hello, my name is Jacob. I have been playing guitar since 1994. I consider myself an electric player, though most of writing, etc is done on acoustic. My personal style is greatly influenced by the Grateful Dead and psychedelic blues from the late 60s. As I’ve aged, I find myself playing and listening to more Roots Country and Americana. I have experience teaching beginners to intermediate players in most genres- though I don’t do Metal, Jazz or the classical arts. I have written quite a bit as well and earned enough popularity where I was in California to be invited out to meet a producer in Wyoming to try and make a go of it as a song writ

I'm always thrilled to meet to guitar students! My primary speciality is classical guitar. It's a wonder to explore new and old methods. We will look at new ideas in guitar technique as well as dig through centuries-old tomes of ancient guitar wisdom to conjure up a forgotten melody ;) I also play and teach many other techniques: jazz, blues, folk, rock, prog-rock, metal, and Renaissance lute! (I perform as part of the ren-faire duo, The Lute and the Lady). Niche genres like Celtic, Spanish, Mariachi, Bossa Nova are also welcome -- even if it's new to me (shoegaze?), I can help you explore your musical passion. If you want to learn to sin

Your Guitar Lessons questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.

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?

Reviews for Carmel guitar teachers

Recent success stories from people in the Carmel area.
Sara C.
I'm a 35-year-old healthcare professional who had never picked up a guitar in my life until 2.5 months ago - and now, with many thanks to Mark, I am playing melodies and chords and learning increasingly complex pieces! Mark is very patient and encouraging, but he does not hesitate to provide correction and steer away from "bad habits" where needed! I greatly appreciate his insistence on learning to read music, as it opens up so many possibilities to playing that I would not have had otherwise. His passion for the instrument and for music in general feeds my enthusiasm, and he is very open to my questions and further explorations of music theory, playing techniques, and songs I want to learn. So glad to have him as my teacher!

John is extremely professional. We have a 13-year-old with mild special needs, and John has been patient with him, encouraging him but allowing him to move at his own pace. We've seen tremendous growth in our son over the past year, and cannot recommend John highly enough. His talent and passion for teaching music is evident in everything he does, and we have been very pleased with our overall experience.

Our son has been taking piano lessons with Mr. Hawes for 2 years and we couldn't be happier! He is a wonderful teacher, and we have seen our son grow and learn and get excited about lessons! Mr. Hawes has patience in working with students, and I am always amazed at his knack for getting even squirrely little boys to sit still and get engaged in a lesson! Mr. Hawes is a wonderful teacher, who is passionate about his students and loves working with them, which is apparent in each lesson. We are truly blessed to have found such a wonderful teacher for our son, and would highly recommend him.
