The Guitar Center Lessons Experience

Our expert instructors can help you find your rhythm on almost any stringed instrument, including electric guitar, acoustic guitar and bass. You might play a 12-string guitar, or want to take lessons for 7- and 8-string guitars. From ukulele to the banjo or mandolin, and from basic strumming to nailing riffs and solos, we can build a custom program for you.

Our flexible guitar lessons curriculum allows students of all skill levels to experience growth. We help create a foundational understanding of music theory through the style of music you want to play. Our guitar instructors will work to understand your goals and passions, and make sure you are on the path to learning what you want at your own speed. From playing beginner guitar songs to learning guitar scales, notes and chords, our instructors will cover it all.

Our 30-minute guitar lessons allow you to build your skills over time, while our 60-minute lessons give you the opportunity to progress more quickly. From learning guitar chords, notes and scales to your favorite songs, our expert instructors will make sure you learn how to play guitar at a pace that's comfortable for you.

Each guitar instructor customizes your guitar lessons to ensure you're learning what you like and having fun. Your guitar instructor will start you slowly, introducing new concepts each week. You'll get live, one-on-one instruction from our expert instructors, and you'll learn in our private rehearsal studios. You'll also get tips, tricks and techniques to keep progressing in between sessions.

This varies by age and the type of goals the student has set out to achieve. However, most new students usually spend 15–30 min. practicing guitar daily, while advanced players can practice for an hour or more each day in between guitar lessons.

Yes. We record all of our lessons for the safety of our students and instructors, and to monitor for quality control.

What do you do with our recorded lessons?

We only use the recordings for safety and quality monitoring purposes. Recordings will not be used for marketing purposes or any other use. We do not provide those recordings to anyone—students, instructors or the public. Only approved Guitar Center employee administrators have access to the recordings.

How do you secure the recordings?

The recordings are encrypted and stored in a secured location that is only accessible by approved Guitar Center employee administrators.

Based on your interests, preferences and schedule, we'll curate a list of professional guitar instructors for you to choose from. You'll learn everything, from the basics of strumming and the easiest guitar songs to how to read guitar tabs and finding your own rhythm. Your instructor will have you nailing solos in no time. If at any point, you'd like to change guitar instructors, let us know.
