Based in the Metro Detroit area, I've been playing guitar since the mid 1990's. Music is my biggest passion and has been for most of my life I play lead electric in a local church band every week, I'm also in another band playing an eclectic mix of mostly classic rock. I have a wide range of influences from progressive, rock, jazz, classical, instrumental, pop, alternative, Christian, 80's /90's metal, to name a few. NOTE: I am currently only able to offer online/virtual lessons, but have some time slots available. If you're interested in guitar lessons, I would love to hear from you to see if I can be of help on your music/guitar journey

Her positive attitude and push to be better is so important- from novice to advanced students- Rumbell Music is certainly our first choice and should be anyone looking for lessons. " Read more

Well, it took awhile for me to teach myself, but after years on self training, i finally achieved a piece of what I was after. I will continue to seek everything I need to achieve musically what I need to further myself. I really enjoy going after what makes me feel good when i practice the guitar, and all ways learning new things in regards to the music that I seek. I am heavely into new software and hardware that promotes music in anyways that inspires me more to play.

I believe every student has unique abilities and it's my job to fit the lessons to their strengths and weaknesses. My first goal in the lessons is for them to be enjoyable and useful. If your goal is to sing and play or prepare for a university degree, I want to make sure you reach your goal. I absolutely enjoy more than anything else to see people do something they didn't think they could do.

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?

John is very patient and encouraging. Took lessons about 11 years ago and nothing was really explained, and I didn't learn very much. John answers my questions.

Grant is a great instructor! His knowledge about playing and his passion for helping others learn is inspiring. He has a broad and deep understanding of musical theory and integrates it seamlessly into pragmatic application. His great guitar playing, singing, joking, and student empathy all contribute to great lesson experiences. Grant has an uncanny ability to meet students where they are, factor in their aspirations, personalize his approaches, and help them consistently advance. I’m learning at a good pace, enjoying the journey and becoming increasingly confident. I would highly recommend Grant, particularly to adults who have become interested in playing guitar.

Crystal taught my son French horn and mellophone for 4 years while he attended Churchill High School. She was always very professional, kind, and cheerful. Her enthusiasm for instrumental music, and her many tips and tricks specific to my son's instruments, inspired him to grow from an average freshman musician to a senior leader in the wind ensemble. Crystal gently but firmly pushed my son out of his introverted comfort zone, encouraging him to participate in annual MSBOA ensemble competitions, and finally convincing him to compete as a soloist his senior year. Crystal has passed down her love of the French horn and mellophone so thoroughly that she has inspired my son to continue to play in his college band. Crystal has shown herself to be a passionate supporter of our community by donating her lesson time as auction items for a Churchill High School marching band fundraiser. She is a 2002 graduate of Churchill High School, and was section leader of the mellophone section while there. She earned her Bachelor's Degree in Music Education through Western Michigan University, where she also marched in the Bronco Marching Band and served as mellophone section leader. She has a Master's Degree from Boston University. In addition to French horn and mellophone, she teaches trumpet/cornet, trombone, baritone/euphonium, and tuba. If you are looking for a quality instructor for your son or daughter, I highly recommend Crystal Rumbell. She has a very strong positive reputation among all local instrumental music teachers, and among accompanists for solo competitions.
