John D. says, "My name is John D and I am 49yrs old. My profession has me working in a demanding field. I can't tell you how much I look forward to my Monday night lesson timeslot with Howie Green. He and I both like hard rock and heavy metal. I have been with Howie just over one year now. I had no prior experience on the guitar. Howie has me playing songs I never dreamed about playing. At least not this soon. (And I am no special talent I assure you.) Crazy Train, Aint Talkin Bout Love, Nothing Else Matters by Metallica. I can play several Iron Maiden songs, some Black Sabbath and even some Beatles tunes. I'm learning some theory as well along the way. It is just a pleasure. Howie has removed much of the fear and intimidation I always had of the guitar. He has pulled back some of the curtain so to speak. Howie is positive and encouraging and always patient - yet challenging. He knows how to progress me from one proficiency to the next seamlessly. We play actual songs - or parts of songs that I can - and have fun. I always leave Howie somewhat surprised at what I can play after each lesson. It does take practice. There is no escaping practice. But Howie Green has me on my way. Good luck with whom ever you decide to take guitar lessons from. Just do it! You'll be amazed that in short order you can play. " Read more

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?

The guy's really cool. Over the years, he's taught me and my son a lot about the guitar and drums. He doesn't really beat around the bush and we both respond very well to that style of teaching.

I’ve had the pleasure of being one of Howie’s students for over five years now. I have spent my entire life watching my friends play guitar and decided it was time to join in on the fun. I was referred to Howie immediately after purchasing my first guitar. I was beyond impressed with Howie’s skills and repertoire of songs. Not only does Howie know how to play all of my favorite songs from start to finish with all the solos, he is excellent at teaching and explaining them. After playing for five years under the instruction of Howie, I can proudly say that I am beyond proud of my accomplishments in learning guitar. Howie has taught me chords, scales, rhythms, finger picking, music theory, and how to play actual songs. I strongly recommend Howie as a teacher for both beginners and advanced players. He is easy to work with and knows how to break things down. Howie’s years of experience of playing and teaching were evident on day one. If you are looking to learn how to play the guitar and live in the area, Howie is your guy.
