Acoustic, electric or classical. Your teacher comes to your home, welcomes you into their studio, or meets you online, and builds every lesson around the music you actually want to play.
Young players start on the right-size guitar with short, game-like lessons: simple riffs, rhythm, and a first song within the first few weeks. Parents get a clear practice plan so practice time isn't a battle.
Lessons for kidsThe songs they love, taught properly. Power chords, riffs, solos, reading tab and chord charts, playing with a backing track, and the habits that make a teenager sound good fast — the stuff that gets you into a band.
Lessons for teensTotal beginners, returning players and people who've been stuck at the same campfire chords for ten years. We start where you are and give you a plan that fits a real work week.
Lessons for adultsEvery student gets goals and a weekly practice plan. Here's roughly how guitar lessons progress. Your teacher adjusts it to you.
Your teacher listens first: what you want to play, what you've tried, what got in the way. Then you play together. Beginners leave with a first chord shape or riff and a short practice plan; experienced players leave with a clear read on what's holding them back and what to work on next.
Any playable guitar is fine to start. Not sure yours is? Your teacher will check the setup at the first lesson and tell you honestly whether it's helping or hurting. No need to buy anything before you talk to us.
Love your first lesson, or your money back.
If the first lesson with your teacher isn't a great fit, tell us within 48 hours. We'll rematch you with a different teacher at no charge, or refund everything you've paid. Your choice. Your teacher still gets paid for their time; we cover it. That's how sure we are about who we send you.
“Guitar is my instrument. I've played it in arenas with Scott Stapp, as RBD's music director and on tour in Japan with Utada Hikaru. I know what great guitar teaching looks like, because the teachers who shaped me were working players. That's who I hire.”

Pick what fits your week. You can change it any time, and many families mix all three.
Your teacher comes to you, same day and time each week. No drive, no waiting room, no car-line shuffle. Kids learn on the instrument they actually practice on.
Learn in a real working musician's space: their instruments, their recording setup, a room built for music. A great fit for drums, advanced players and anyone who likes a change of scene.
The same teacher, live on video. Perfect for busy weeks, travel, sick days and families outside our in-home area. Many students mix online with in-person.
Either works. Electric guitars are easier on young fingers and lighter strings make early progress feel good; acoustics are simpler to set up. The best guitar is the one your child wants to pick up. Your teacher will help you choose the right size.
Most kids are ready around 6 or 7, when their hands can press the strings comfortably. Younger children often do well starting on ukulele and moving to guitar a year or two later.
Yes. Songs are the point. Your teacher will teach the songs you bring and slip the technique you need into them, so you get better at guitar while playing music you actually like.
Both. Most rock, pop and acoustic players learn chord charts and tab first. If you want standard notation, classical guitar, or you're preparing for school jazz band or an audition, we'll match you with a teacher who reads and teaches it daily.
That's where a great teacher pays off most. A working guitarist can spot the two or three habits holding you back in one lesson, then build a plan around soloing, theory on the neck, tone, or whatever you want next.
Tell us who's learning and what they want to play. A coordinator will call within one business day with a teacher in mind.
