Victor G. says, "If you're looking for a guitar teacher who can truly transform your playing, look no further than Chris Peterson. I’ve been playing guitar since I was a kid, and while I had a decent grasp of a few pentatonic shapes, chords, and power chords, everything changed when I met Chris. In just a few months, I learned more than I had in the previous 25 years of self-teaching and short courses combined. Chris has a remarkable ability to break down complex concepts into manageable steps, covering everything from scales and arpeggios to music theory, all while keeping the lessons engaging and enjoyable. One of the standout aspects of Chris's teaching is his knack for building on the foundation I already had. Even the pentatonic scales I thought I knew became more refined and expressive under his guidance. His personalized approach not only improved my skills but also deepened my understanding of music. Though I’m currently taking a short break to finish a work project, I’m already looking forward to returning for more lessons. Chris is undoubtedly the best guitar teacher I’ve ever had, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Chris, for all your support and encouragement! Victor" Read more

Hello there! I have a college degree in music, have taught dance since 2015, and am a native Spanish speaker. In terms of music, I can teach how to read music and play chords, but that's about as far as I can go when it comes to piano and guitar. I am not classically trained in those areas, so I do not know how to play finger-style guitar or how to play with both hands on piano. In terms of dance, I specialize in Latin Dance (Salsa, Bachata, Merengue, Cumbia). I am a Zumba instructor as well and have choreographed for over 80 weddings and quinceañeras. I like to focus on what the student actually wants to learn, so my teaching style is

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?

Ivan C.
Ian's great! He helps you become the guitar player YOU want to be as he patiently guides you towards what you need to do to improve. Never have I felt judged by him, as he clearly understands the struggles one might face in their musical journey. Despite his many years of experience, he's very humble and will empathize with you every step of the way.
