As a teacher, I enjoy digging deep into all things guitar, bass, or ukulele and sharing good information, skill sets, and resources with my students so that they have everything they need to be independent architects of their musical vision and I eventually become irrelevant.
My lessons generally focus on the 3 main areas of developing skills, applied music theory concepts, and working on student selected songs. I provide students with weekly practice objectives, and all relevant handouts as PDF files through Google Docs. Here is a rundown of my lesson topics:

In my lessons, I make it a point to understand the unique learning styles of each student. When I was growing up I had a string of guitar teachers who had a blanket approach to their teaching style, using tedious method books or just teaching song after song to their students, never pushing them any deeper. As a student, I found this approach to be uninspiring and it left me at a plateau in my progress as a guitar player. It wasn't until I was in college, studying jazz under the infamous musician and educator Joey Sellers, that I was able to see a real improvement in my playing. Over the years I have developed teaching techniques and strategi

You gotta love what you do. Except that in the case of a musical instrument, there are a number of things one must do first. You need a good technical foundation, tone, rhythm, and a grasp and understanding of the music (to know is to love) in order to develop a good interpretation. You will also develop good practice and sight-reading habits. I hope to involve you in ensemble playing at some stage. You need a large amount of patience and a commitment to practice diligently for about an hour a day. Only then can these skills grow (one of my teachers used to say that Rome wasn't built in a day).

Learn the best guitar chords, how to read guitar chords, and how to play guitar chords. Easy step-by-step lessons for beginners. Want to check out the lessons?
The average cost for guitar lessons is $40 per hour. Available for all ages and all skill levels of guitar playing, the pricing of individual or group guitar lessons can start as low as $20/hour. Teachers charge based on their location, years of teaching, levels of knowledge and expertise, and travel time (if applicable). Lessons can last from half an hour to a full hour, and are priced accordingly.
How long does it take to learn guitar?
If you just want to learn a few chords to strum along to some songs, then learning to play the guitar really isn't that hard for most people. Many students are able to learn a few chords and get a decent strumming pattern going after a few weeks. If you've had prior experience playing an instrument, you can expect to pick it up after just a few lessons.
Should I take guitar lessons online or in person lessons?
Private in person guitar lessons with a skilled instructor that is focused on you, your interests, and your progress is the most sought after experience and hard to replicate online. Plus, you tend to learn faster in person. On the other hand, online guitar lessons are quickly becoming popular. The selection of teachers is not limited to those in your geographical area and you can communicate via video in real time with your teacher in the comfort of your home. When filling out your request on Lessons.com, we recommend you select both online and local options, then compare your options and see what works best for you.
How old should children be before starting guitar lessons?
A child as young as 4 can begin to learn if they are really motivated and have a patient, creative, and devoted teacher. However, we've found almost all kids under six are too young to benefit from formal guitar lessons, as they require dexterity and levels of concentration children their age can't provide. That being said, lessons do not need to be formal right off the bat, and can just provide a fun introduction. Also, your child may benefit from using a ukulele to start, as it's smaller and easier to learn, but very similar instrument.

Featured Instructor
Matt Haller gives guitar lessons in Seattle’s Snohomish County, near Lake Stevens, and talks to Lessons.com about his guitar teaching and how he goes about teaching his guitar students how to play guitar. We’ve transcribed the interview with Matt, which you can read below, but to hear what he says, in his own words, please visit the Matt Haller guitar teacher page.
Matt Haller Teaches Guitar in Seattle's Snohomish County
Lessons.com: We’re here today with Matt Haller, who teaches guitar, and who has a guitar teacher profile on Lessons.com. Welcome, Matt. Thanks for being here today and talking with us about your guitar teaching.
Matt Haller: Hey, thanks for having me.
Lessons.com: It’s a pleasure to have you; it’s a pleasure to be here with you. Can you tell us first: Where do you teach guitar? What city and state are you in?
Matt Haller: I’m in Washington, and I basically have a studio on the lake, in Lake Stevens, so it’s a little bit outside of Everett, Washington, and, I’d say, about a half-hour outside Seattle, Washington.
Lessons.com: Got it. And do you teach all your guitar lessons there at your studio, or do you also travel to teach in students’ homes as well?
Matt Haller: I probably have about twenty students hometown here, and then I also do Skype guitar lessons, as well, worldwide.
Lessons.com: Excellent. And, if someone wants to contact you for Skype lessons, what’s the best way to contact you?
Matt Haller: Probably the best way is via email, or you could also call the cell, which is (425) 377-1344. Either way.
Lessons.com: Excellent. That sounds great. And could you tell us a little bit about the guitar lesson climate there in the Seattle and surrounding regions? Are there a lot of people there who want to learn guitar?
Matt Haller: Absolutely! You might recall, back in the nineties and well into two thousand and so, it was a big Seattle grunge scene here, so there’s always been a hot Seattle music scene. Jimi Hendrix is a hometown hero, as everybody kind of knows. Heart, who was just inducted into the Hall of Fame, I believe it was last year. There’s some hometown heroes. I’ve even played with a couple of those people. Just a lot of local talent around here, and even people that aren’t famous – there’s just amazing talent around here – people that aren’t famous, but maybe should be, and, we hope, up-and-coming artists.
Lessons.com: That sounds like a great place to teach guitar.
Matt Haller: Absolutely.
Lessons.com: What styles of guitar do you find your students most often interested in learning?
Matt Haller: A little bit of everything, but I would say mostly pop and rock. We’ve got, I’d say, about eighty percent of the people that I teach are rock, and then we have some of the people that come in and want to know what’s current, maybe like some Taylor Swift or … yeah, let’s see, what’s hot right now? Taylor Swift, One Direction, I’ve even taught a couple of Bieb songs. So, there’s just kind of everything. We go from one side of the spectrum to the other side, but I pretty much love it all. There’s really nothing I really don’t like. There are maybe certain songs that I don’t like, but it’s very rare that I have a song that I don’t like. I get a lot of variety, which keeps it interesting for me, as well.
Lessons.com: And, what style of music are you personally most interested in? Like, if you’re playing on your own, what do you play?
Matt Haller: We definitely play rock and classic rock, but I’ve always got one foot in the blues, cause that’s kind of where all that stuff, as everybody knows, where all the stuff came from.
Lessons.com: It certainly does.
Matt Haller: Yeah, absolutely.
Lessons.com: And, you said “we”. Are you in a band?
Matt Haller: Well, I have a bunch of people that we play with. We’re not really in a band per se. Just a lot of the people that are around the area – a lot of former rock stars, like I said, a lot of people that probably should be rock stars, but, for whatever reason, never made it. And we hit a lot of the open mic nights, and the nice thing about that is that everybody’s kind of a regular – you recognize people. You go into the bars, and you’ll know at least half the people in the bar, so it makes for great music, and you know what to expect from the people that are there, when you get up on stage and play with them. It’s great!
Lessons.com: Yeah, a feeling of community – it’s what music can be about.
Matt Haller: Exactly.
Lessons.com: Well, you have the Les Paul there with you. Would you like to play a little bit? It doesn’t need to be something that you’d show a student, but, say if you’re sitting at home with the guitar, maybe play a segment of a song that you might play when you’re just sitting on your own.
Matt Haller: Sure. I’m into a lot of stuff, but I always like to pull out the AC DC for the warm-up stuff, just because there’s a lot of cool things that he does. I think he plays them when he’s not even warmed up, but I have to be a little bit warmed-up to do it. I’ll pare down the screen here, so you can see what I’m doing on the guitar here. (Editor’s note: Matt adjusts the lens of his camera to focus more clearly on his guitar and his hands.) I always like to start with anything that gets my fingers warmed up, and I will admit I’m a little cold right now. (Editor’s note: Matt plays a deep riff from AC DC’s “Big Gun” on his Les Paul. To hear him play, check out the video on Matt’s guitar teacher page) Anyway (After he plays …), I could go on for a bit, but it’s pretty much the same thing until the solo.
Lessons.com: That is awesome. Which song is that? Is that AC DC?
Matt Haller: Yeah, that is “Big Gun” from AC DC, and that I believe is from one of the sound tracks – what was it with Arnold? – “Last Action Hero”. So, it was never on an album; that’s kind of why I like it.
Lessons.com: Yeah, it’s a great riff, and, as they do with so many of their songs, it’s based so strongly in the blues.
Matt Haller: Absolutely. Absolutely.
Lessons.com: Great. In your guitar lessons, do you teach both adults and children?
Matt Haller: I do. I have mostly adults, but I have a few kids … I’ve got, let’s see, age ranges from five to … I actually have a guitar student that’s about eighty-seven. The five-year-olds, I usually recommend to parents, anywhere from five to eight or nine, book the thirty minute sessions. Most five-year-olds can not hold an attention span for more than maybe twenty minutes (he laughs), so half-an-hour is perfect for the younger guitar students.
Lessons.com: And for your older students, do you work with them for longer guitar lessons?
Matt Haller: I generally do. Again, it just depends on the individual, but generally, older students are forty-five minutes to an hour, somewhere in there. If they’re really looking to get their money’s worth, they’ll usually be forty-five minutes to an hour. And, if they’re having fun, that can go really fast – it usually does.
Lessons.com: It can go really fast. How often do you work with your guitar students? Do you work with students once a week or more than once per week?
Matt Haller: Yeah … generally … let’s see … I would say I probably have about twenty-five students currently, and most of them are weekly. I’ve got a couple that are twice a week, and, coincidentally, those are the ones that get better, faster.
Lessons.com: It always works that way, doesn’t it?
Matt Haller: Absolutely.
Lessons.com: And, what are your guitar lesson fees, Matt?
Matt Haller: Well, right now, they’re negotiable, because it’s summer, and usually I’ll have a little bit of a taper-off in the summer, cause people get out and do things – boating or whatever they do in the summer – but generally, I start at about forty dollars an hour. It just depends on whether you’re getting half-an-hour or forty-five minutes or a full hour. If you do the full hour, it’s forty bucks an hour, if you do half-an-hour it’s like twenty-five, and for forty-five minutes, it’s like thirty-two – somewhere in that range.
Lessons.com: Got it. And do you offer guidance to guitar students about what guitars to buy?
Matt Haller: Absolutely. Absolutely. You know, when it comes to buying guitars, everybody has an opinion about what they like. I actually like the Gibsons a lot. I have one Stratocaster, just because everybody says, “Well, you gotta have at least one Strat”, so I bought a fiftieth anniversary Strat, but, mainly I have my Les Pauls. And then, recently, we have kind of a hometown hero that lives in – over in – near Redmond area – kind of Redmond-Seattle area – which is Floyd Rose. And he’s the guy that invented – well, he didn’t invent the whammy bar, obviously – but he’s the one that came up with the double locking tremolo system, so, lately, I’ve been buying his Floyd Rose guitars. In fact I’ll show you one here – (Matt reaches in back of him to pick up a Floyd Rose guitar – They’re very distinguishable, because they have the headstock that has no tuning pegs – and you can actually put a pack of cigarettes there, if you wanted to. You tune strictly from the bottom. But lately I’ve been using these, and, I probably shouldn’t tell anyone this, but you can get the American version for I think about a thousand. You can get the Chinese or the Japanese versions for about – I bought this for a hundred dollars, and it’s been one of my best guitars ever – the best bargain. It sounds almost as good as my Les Paul, and I paid a hundred dollars for it.
Lessons.com: That’s great to hear. It sounds like for a guitar student just starting out, a deal like that would be perfect to get them into a good sounding guitar and also for not that expensive a price.
Matt Haller: Absolutely. And, that’s kind of what I lean towards. I like Guitar Center’s Laguna guitars. For the money, they are great! And, you can actually pick them up used – second hand – and, when it comes to guitars – you probably already know – second hand doesn’t necessarily mean bad when it comes to guitars. In fact some of the second hand guitars do circles around the new guitars. It’s all in how it sounds. I even have a friend that plays a Hello Kitty guitar. We couldn’t figure out why it sounded so good, until we looked at the back of the headstock, and it had a Custom stamp in there. So, now it’s kind of a gimmick, but when he first got it, he’s like “I really don’t want this guitar because it’s pink.” It sounded incredible, and I said “It’s all how it sounds – you shouldn’t care what it looks like.” So now he actually plays it as a gimmick onstage, and it sounds awesome.
Lessons.com: Wow, that’s wonderful. That’s a great story. Before we end our interview for today, maybe you could tell prospective guitar students watching the video, just in simple terms, what is your approach to teaching them? If you meet a new student who contacts you, what is your plan to help them improve with the guitar?
Matt Haller: Well generally it involves, you know, assessing where the student is at, like if they’ve had any previous guitar lessons or music lessons in general. And then, if they have, then the first guitar lesson is just kind of face to face, one on one, figuring out where they’re at in the musical whatever you’d call it – your musical history. And just, once I’ve determined about where they’re at level-wise, whether they’re beginner, intermediate, or advanced. Then usually we’ll set up some kind of a game plan to figure out their short-term goals – where they want to be maybe in three to six months on guitar – or whatever instrument that they’re learning. Then we’ll go with maybe the longer term goals – three to five years. And then, basically, I’ll write out a game plan for how we’ll achieve to get there. And then I generally will find out right away what their favorite artists are – or maybe favorite songs. And then we’ll have them pick three to four songs, and then we’ll start with one of those. I usually break right into teaching them stuff that they want to learn, otherwise, they lose interest.
Lessons.com: That’s the best way to do it. I found the same thing in my guitar teaching, as well.
Matt Haller: Yeah. When I was learning guitar very young, the guitar teacher was teaching me “Michael Row The Boat Ashore” and real simple stuff. Luckily, my parents kept pushing me into it a little bit, because I was kind of bored, to be honest. Then I got a teacher that showed me “Crazy Train”, and the whole thing changed. Then I was hooked.
Lessons.com: That would be the song to do it. That’s the doorway into everything else.
Matt Haller: Right. Absolutely. And, coincidentally, that’s one of them I get asked for, I would say, probably fifty percent of the time. People want to learn that song.
Lessons.com: Wow. That’s great. It’s good that you’ve got that in your back pocket. Well, Matt, I want to thank you for taking the time to be with us today and to talk with us about your guitar teaching. It’s been great to hear you describe your teaching and also to hear you play, as well.
Matt Haller: Sure. Thank you. I appreciate the opportunity to do it and thanks again.
Lessons.com: Thank you, Matt. And best of luck in your guitar teaching.
