Esther G. says, "I like how Jeff sends us a bunch of materials he's created himself to help us with technique and theory, as well as emailing updates to all his current students together, making it feel like a little community (which I didn't expect, and I was pleasantly surprised). He caters the lessons to your goals as I'm trying to learn more advanced theory for songwriting. Even though most lessons are through zoom, he can see each little nuance of my guitar technique, and he does a great job explaining how to correct it in a way where I can really visualize and implement the changes. He doesn't chastise you for not practicing when life gets busy, especially as I'm a full-time working adult trying to learn in my limited free-time. Lastly, I really appreciate how he sees and acknowledges my progress, especially when it's hard to see it myself!" Read more

I have been teaching private guitar and bass lessons in my home since the 90s. I have worked as a professional musician since I was 14 years old and have experience playing many, many different styles of music, including rock, pop, blues, jazz, classical, country, R&B, acoustic folk (and other styles). Because of this I am able to meet students where they're at in their development and help to get them playing the music they love. I have taught at two schools, each for seven years: The Rockwall School of Music, and Dallas Academy. I also taught at Larry Morgan Music in Garland for three years until they closed their doors and at The Music St...

Christina R. says, "Jessie is amazing to work with. A lot of people can sing and play, but not everyone can teach. And she can teach! From the moment we started together, she has always made me feel incredibly comfortable. Singing is a very vulnerable thing, and she never made me feel judged or like I needed to be perfect. In fact, she has helped me let go of my need to be perfect while singing and I feel as though my voice is stronger and better than it has ever been. I am now way less shy to take risks with my voice and I feel fully supported by her when I do. She has also been adaptable to my goals. In the last year that we have been working together, I have picked up other styles of singing and she has brought an open heart to me exploring those and has helped me develop skills to translate to all different forms. I think her strong suit is that she really cares about the emotional aspect of singing and understands that so much of it is mindset. She isn’t afraid to tackle that and knows that you can learn all the techniques you want but if your mindset isn’t right it will be so much harder. This has really expanded the way I relate to my voice. I feel really lucky to have Jessie as my teacher." 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?

From the start Jeff has been great. The study material and his teaching technique show passion about his craft and desire to teach. I highly recommend especially for those "older" students that want to learn but are hesitant for any number of reasons. Jeff will help you feel comfortable and eager to move forward.

Daniel Finch is a wonderful piano instructor. He has been teaching my son Josh for several years now during which he has patiently worked with him no matter the pace at which he progresses. Daniel works hard to teach music concepts in a personalized way, so that each student can understand. He also wants everyone to enjoy learning and playing the piano, so he helps them choose music that they know that is challenging while still being achievable. I have recommended he to many of my friends, and will continue to do so in the future.

Jessie has been an amazing music teacher for our two daughters. I'm impressed at how well she works them online and how much they have learned about playing piano. They are both getting really good. And Jessie has such a positive attitude that it motivates the girls to learn more. Thanks for all your awesome work, Jessie!
