Country guitar lessons are worth it because they teach you how to play like the top country music stars in Nashville. Many playing techniques are specific to this musical style only, so you'll want a teacher who knows this genre well.

In country guitar lessons, you'll learn:

• How to fingerpick and flat-pick with the right techniques
• Country licks and the various uses of the major pentatonic scale
• A range of sub-genres from bluegrass to modern country pop

A good age for kids to start country guitar lessons is 6 to 10 years old. Otherwise, they can start whenever they're big enough to hold the guitar and press the strings.

Adults of any age can pick up some country guitar skills with a little bit of help from a teacher and plenty of practice.

How many country guitar lessons you need depends on what you want to do with your guitar and how much you're willing to practice. If you're just looking to play a simple song, you're looking at about 2 to 6 months of weekly lessons.

However, if you want to strum like the pros, it can take 4 to 10 years of dedication.

You can find some of the best country guitar teachers listed right here on the Lessons website or at your local music store.

When you're considering which teacher to hire, you should:

• Check out prices from at least 3 teachers and ask what their lessons include.
• Look up what others have said about them on Google and here on Lessons.
• Ask them for some student references.
• Talk to other parents to see what their little ones think about the teacher.
• Make sure you get a written schedule and agreement before the first lesson.
• Pay just a little bit at a time to make sure the teacher is right for you before booking a full month.
