Mustang Guitar Instruction
4 Reviews
Why pay a fortune at a guitar store when you can get as good, if not better at a better price and have an instructor that can come to you if needed. Straight forward ground up instruction, designed to build the skills you need for any kind of music interest. Specializing in the begginer student to intermediate student that feels their playing is lacking. What I want to give to you is a proven, scientific approach to Guitar instruction. Why do you hire a guitar teacher? Because you are unsure of of what to study, in what order to study, and about your technique. My goal is for you to be able to teach yourself. I can have you able to take over

Everyday Guitar Lessons

I focus on teaching students how to express themselves through the guitar with a heavy emphasis on creating music from the first lesson; giving students the tools and musical theory they need to create their own music at a pace that's tailored to each individual's learning style.
I first picked up the guitar at age eleven and began taking lessons from a classically trained pianist. From the first day I learned a chord I knew this is what I wanted to do. After studying under a variety of guitar instructors I knew I could provide a different kind of instruction catered to students looking to create music and express themselves through the instr

Meaningful Music And Performance Lessons

I love learning and growing as a musician. I have earned an Associates Degree in Music Performance and am capable of playing as well as teaching multiple instruments. Young or old I enjoy teaching and helping people start or continue their journey as a musician. However, if you are a prospective student who wants to request a quote from me but has not yet obtained an instrument then chances are I will most likely not give you a quote. It is not because I am only in teaching for the money it is just the simple fact that when I choose to give somebody a quote I get have to use my tokens which I have to pay out of pocket for to Lessons.com and I

Frequently asked questions
How much do guitar lessons cost?
The average cost for guitar lessons is $40 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.
How long does it take to learn guitar?
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.
Should I take guitar lessons online or in person 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.
How old should children be before starting guitar lessons?
A child as young as 4 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.
