Patricia B. says, "I wanted an instructor who focused on the instrument and music theory, not genre. And that’s exactly what I got. Mr. Joel is patient and understanding. He is also quite honestly supportive. Now, I can play the guitar, read music, know what I’m playing in tabs and figure out progressions by ear. So, I’m a happy student. Really, I am a guitarist.🙌🏽" Read more

Personalized service, teach what THE STUDENT wants to learn, not what I want to show them. ( Unless they ask) I love teaching people the magic of music. Especially if they are trying to have a career in music. Myself, I learned the basics on most stinged instruments. I believe that it's helpful, especially for doing demos.

Ted B. says, "John is not only an excellent guitarist, but he also has great pedagogical intuition, which is no doubt influenced by his own extensive experience being taught by world-class guitarists. Despite considering myself to be a pretty good self-learner, John has been able on numerous occasions to point out and help me eliminate various subtle inefficiencies in the motion of both my left and right hands, which has led to more fluidity and less flubbing in my playing. The result is a more enjoyable playing experience with less frustration, as well as more freedom to focus on artistic interpretation. I can't recommend John highly enough." Read more

You can learn from the comfort of your home with online lessons that cost $35 to $55 per hour. Regular monthly lessons would typically cost $170 to $315.

Are country guitar lessons worth it?

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

What's a good age to start country guitar lessons?

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 do I need?

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.

How do I find the best country guitar lessons near me?

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.

What questions do I ask when choosing a country guitar teacher?

Consider asking some of these questions to choose your country guitar teacher:

  • Where did you study music, and do you have any degrees?
  • How long have you been teaching country guitar?
  • Can I try a lesson for free to see if you can help me learn?
  • How old are most of your students?
  • What kind of guitar should I get?
  • Are you going to give me homework, and how much should I be practicing?
  • What books should I buy to learn country guitar?
  • Can you adjust your teaching style if I'm having trouble understanding it?
  • What should I bring to each class, and how long does a session last?
  • Can I get a copy of our class schedule?
  • What happens if I can't make it to a class because something urgent comes up?
  • Can I choose some of my favorite songs to learn?

John is an excellent teacher. Even though I have only had a few lessons with him, he has made a major impact on my playing. First, he improved my tone by carefully analyzing my fingernail shape and how I was striking the strings, and then showing me how to file my nails more effectively, The difference is tone was amazing. He then came up with new fingerings for some Bach and Borroso pieces I was working on that made difficult passages easier to play as well as more musical sounding. John also made other recommendations for phrasing and highlighting the melody lines, which came from his careful listening to my playing. Between lessons, he was available for lengthy email discussions and he send me PDFs of music I requested. Finally, John is very warm, personable, and approachable, and he offers critiques and recommendations in a matter-of-fact, generous manner that makes it easy to hear. He is also willing to share his own struggles with the classical guitar, which is disarming and reassuring. Oh-- and BTW he is an excellent player! I've loved listening to him play either live or in videos.

Without a doubt Mrs. Salmon is one of the best music teachers in South Jersey! Mrs. Salmon is teaching my daughter to play the guitar. Right away my daughter started learning to play. My daughter was in the 4th grade and started playing with the 5th grade band. Mrs. Salmon is very patient and dedicated to her students. She is also very reasonable with her prices for lessons. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to play any instrument.

Chris Oh is a very gifted guitar teacher. My son has learned so much from him and enjoys coming to his lesson every week and even enjoys practicing! The Dream School is a wonderful place to take lessons and the owners are a pleasure to work with. The recitals they have for the students are a perfect way to encourage playing in front of a group. Highly recommend the Dream School.
