Megan O. says, "Heidi is so genuinely caring and attentive no matter what skill level you go into lessons with. I had no formal teaching prior to working with Heidi, and she made me feel so comfortable and confident in my abilities right off the bat. She cares so genuinely about her students, both as students and individuals - and always made me feel right at home with her, through both in person lessons and virtual. On top of that, Heidi was very flexible in how we worked together - and was incredibly patient with my schedule through a job change and physical move. Working with Heidi was an amazing experience I would recommend to anyone looking to improve their musical abilities." Read more

Hello! I've been teaching guitar and piano in the Seattle area for about twenty years now. I specialize in beginner students, but I am also available to help hone your technique if you're already off and running. I am classically trained, but I can teach any genre. I generally like to get to know what kind of music my student likes, and base the lessons off of that material. That way, everyone is having fun! Music is and should be fun, but practice is definitely the key to learning! I earned a BA in Music in 2002 and more recently completed a Masters in Teaching and Learning in 2015. I look forward to working with you and learning about the t...

Your electric guitar questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Lessons.com.

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?

Bryan is a wonderful teacher. My daughter really enjoy working with him.

I started classical guitar lessons with Mary a few months ago and the experience has been so wonderful. I really feel that she cares about me as a student which is very encouraging. I have previous experience playing the harp but am an absolute beginner on guitar. Mary immediately knew what things would be harder for me and what things I would already know without her teaching. Before starting with Mary I had tried just googling chords and guitar tabs to just memorize the fingering for some songs to play with people, but I didn't know the notes or what I was doing really. After learning from her I understand basic music theory finally! No one ever really explained it to me before. Also, after three months I not only know my way around all the notes but also am starting to have a feel for how my hand needs to move around the board when I am playing in different keys. Also her emphasis of legato and good fingering at the beginning is so helpful because it have become quite natural. Ursula Peter's books is very good for a beginner! I'm excited to start playing more complicated pieces soon.

Heidi has been my private music teacher for more years than I can count on my fingers (14 years). Through all my phases, (elementary - university) she has supported me so much. I play the flute, and when I was first learning it took a while, but Heidi was kind and patient and let me have all the time in the world to learn. Heidi is kind and thoughtful, an attentive listener, and cares lots for the musical community. Her taste in music is phenomenal, and she cares deeply about collaboration and listening to what her students have to say. I have never given up because of Heidi, she's the best teacher I've ever had. Highly recommend! 10/10!
