Private lessons are suited to youths and grown-ups alike. Whether you want acoustic guitar lessons or electric guitar lessons, we have instructors for every style and skill level. Just tell us where you're at, and we'll pair you with a guitar teacher who fits your goals and your availability. Playing guitar improves cognitive health and reduces anxiety.
Guitar Lessons for Beginners
If you know nothing about playing an acoustic or electric guitar and want to learn, you've come to the right place. We'll pair you with one of our dedicated guitar instructors and get you started on the fundamentals, how to tune your instrument, play scales and chords, and jam with confidence.
Learning your favorite songs comes a little later, once the basics feel natural and steady practice starts to click.
Intermediate to Advanced Guitar Lessons
For players with more experience, we offer intermediate and advanced guitar lessons that push your progress without letting you get stuck.
You'll work on complex chords, rhythm, musical theory, and the techniques, songs, and songwriting that turn a solid player into a real musician with their own sound.
Electric Guitar Lessons
Our electric guitar lessons follow the same beginner-to-advanced path as our acoustic guitar lessons.

We recommend you purchase a guitar and amp for home use so you can practice and get the most out of your electric guitar lessons.
