One-on-One
Guitar Lessons

Start by filling out our online form to tell us a bit about what you’re interested in learning, whether you prefer to learn online or in-store, and the day and time that’ll work best for your lessons. After that, you’ll get a list of expert instructors, and you’ll choose the one who best fits your interests. Then, you can schedule your first lesson and check out.

If you scheduled your lessons at checkout, you’ll receive an email confirmation with details to prepare you for your lessons. If you selected to schedule your lessons later, the next step is for you to call or visit your store to schedule your lessons.

Whether you’re taking online or in-store lessons, you’ll need to bring your guitar and any accessories, like a pick or strap. If you’re taking electric guitar lessons, we’ll have a cable and amp for you in-store, but you’ll need them for online lessons. You’ll also need a pencil and paper, music stand, curriculum/books and any music or guitar tabs you're learning or want to learn (digital or physical). A metronome to keep time is also necessary—we sell a variety on our website and in our stores. There are free apps as well.

Your guitar needs to be properly tuned so everything sounds as good as you're playing. If you aren't sure how to tune your guitar, your certified guitar instructor can teach you on your first day of guitar lessons. A variety of tuners easily clip onto your guitar and are available on our website and in our stores. There are free apps, too

Pricing for online guitar lessons will vary depending on your location. (NOTE: this is the same price as in-store lessons.) Click here to search by ZIP code, city or state.

The EZPay automatic billing system provides a hassle-free way to guarantee your guitar lessons continue on a weekly basis, and that you're able to get the schedule that works best for you. Continuing to take guitar lessons on a weekly basis will also help you keep progressing.

In order to see results, we recommend trying at least one full month of guitar lessons. Learning a new skill takes time. If you decide to continue, you'll be automatically enrolled for the next month. If you are not satisfied, we can switch your instructor, change your schedule or cancel your account at any time.

When you set up your student account and profile at guitarcenter.com, you will be able to access our online Lessons Scheduler to view your lessons account history, lessons schedule and launch your online guitar lessons.

We use a customized Zoom platform that's simple to use for your online guitar lessons. This is a secure video conferencing tool. Once your guitar lessons are scheduled, you'll receive a link via email one to two hours before your lesson starts.

In addition to your guitar and accessories, and the necessary materials mentioned above, you'll need a computer or mobile device to connect to your online guitar lesson. Make sure your device also has a microphone, camera and stable internet connection.

While you do not need special audio equipment to take online guitar lessons, we do recommend that you turn on "High Fidelity Audio mode," which can be found within the advanced audio settings for Zoom.

Log in to your guitarcenter.com account, click on "My Lessons," then "Online Lessons," and you can find the link there. If you need additional help, please reach out to your local Guitar Center.

We have a wide range of guitar instructors teaching in safe, modern learning facilities located conveniently within our Guitar Center retail locations. There are cameras in each lesson studio so you can monitor your child's progress from the waiting room or lobby.

An adult parent or guardian must accompany any student under 12 years of age upon arrival and departure from every lesson.
