Janet L. says, "Chris is an excellent teacher who really emphasizes technique and mastering the basic foundations of classical guitar in order to be the best player that you can be. He is also just an outstanding human being, always giving me so much grace and encouragement whenever I do a great job following his instruction and end up playing a piece beautifully. Part of being his student is getting to learn from someone with lots of experience and wisdom playing guitar, but the other part is simply getting to know him as a person. Getting both is very special. I would highly recommend him to anyone!" Read more

Hello! My name is Jamari Eaden, and I’m a 25 year old guitarist from Berklee College of Music, who began playing the guitar at the age of 15. Starting out focused on Rock as well as Blues, I steered towards genres including Jazz, Funk, R&B, Hip-Hop, and Neo-Soul in later years. My influences cover a wide spectrum of guitarists; such as George Benson, Wes Montgomery, Mansur Brown, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Jimi Hendrix, Eric Johnson, Joe Pass, Isaiah Sharkey, Morgan Burrs, Tom Misch, and the list goes on! With my Rock background, I developed a style synonymous to Jazz Fusion. My experience working and playing professionally established a solid foundat

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...

How much do electric guitar lessons cost near me?

Electric guitar lessons cost $35 to $70 per session with lengths of 30 to 60 minutes each. Private tuition costs $45 to $70 per hour, while group sessions are more wallet-friendly at $25 to $35 per class.

  • For ongoing classes, you'll pay $170 to $315 per month with the prepaid discount.
  • Online lessons cost anywhere from $35 to $55 per hour and let you jam with a teacher from the comfort of your own home.

Are electric guitar lessons worth it?

Electric guitar lessons are worth it if you want to learn more at a faster pace, develop a better technique, and get customized instructions to improve your style. Only an experienced electric guitar player can understand how to help you improve, so don't settle for a general guitar instructor.

What age is good to start electric guitar lessons?

A good age for kids to start electric guitar lessons is from 6 to 10 years old. Another indication they're ready to learn is whenever they're physically able to hold the guitar and have the hand strength to press the strings.

Adults of all ages can also start electric guitar lessons at any time. With the right guidance and consistent practice, anyone can master the electric guitar.

How many lessons does it take to learn electric guitar?

The number of lessons it takes you to learn electric guitar depends on your goals and how much time you dedicate to practicing those epic solos. Playing a simple tune might take 2 to 6 months of weekly classes.

If you're aiming to rock out like a pro, expect a time investment of 4 to 10 years.

Are acoustic and electric guitar lessons the same?

Acoustic and electric guitar lessons aren't the same because these are two entirely different instruments with unique equipment features.

Learning to play electric guitar requires:

  • Knowing how to use an amplifier and pedals that create sound effects
  • Understanding how to adjust the speaker connection
  • Knowledge of genres like rock, metal, blues, and jazz
  • Special techniques like power chords, palm muting, and string bending

Learning to play an acoustic guitar means you focus on classical, folk, country, pop, or blues music. A pick is optional in acoustic lessons, and you don't need amplifiers or cables. Acoustic teachers also place more emphasis on fingerpicking patterns.

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

You can find the best electric guitar lessons nearby to suit your needs by checking out our teacher listings her on the Lessons website. Your local music stores are also great places to start when scouting for the best guitar instructors.

Before making a decision, you should:

  • Compare prices from 3 different teachers and ask what their lessons include.
  • Check out their reviews on Google and Lessons.
  • Request for a references list of past students to verify their track record.
  • Ask for opinions from other parents on what their kids think of the teacher.
  • Obtain a written schedule and contract before the first lesson.
  • Pay for a couple of sessions to see what you think before fully committing to a month's worth of lessons.

What questions do I ask when choosing an electric guitar teacher?

Ask potential electric guitar teacher these questions before hiring:

  • Did you study music in school, and what qualifications did you earn?
  • How long have you been teaching electric guitar?
  • Can I sample a lesson to gauge if your teaching style suits me?
  • What's the average age of your students?
  • What type of electric guitar would you recommend for me?
  • Will you assign homework, and how much practice should I put in?
  • What resources or books would you recommend for learning electric guitar?
  • Can you adapt your teaching methodology if I'm struggling with a concept?
  • What should I bring to class, and how long does each session last?
  • Could I get a copy of our timetable and contract terms?
  • What's your policy regarding missed classes due to unforeseen circumstances?
  • Can I choose some songs that I'd love to learn?

Reviews for Dallas electric guitar lessons

Recent success stories from people in the Dallas area.
Austin Y.
In my short time with Jeff, I have learned as much or more than I had in 3 years of prior guitar lessons. He draws from a wealth of knowledge about the guitar, music theory, and the science behind how we learn. His passion is evident, and it’s clear that he gets as much joy from teaching as I do from learning. Jeff is not for the casual guitar player looking to impress at parties. He’s for people who have a passion for music and want to become true musicians. Given that he doesn’t do this for a living, he’s incentivized to only work with students with whom there is a good personal fit. There’s no harm in giving it a shot - after the session you can decide together if it’s a mutually beneficial partnership. I chose Jeff over several highly-marketed music studios in DFW, and I’m very glad I did.
