  • The cost of a guitar lesson can vary depending on factors such as the teacher's experience, the lesson's length, and whether it's in-person or online.

  • There’s no age limit to learning the guitar, whether you're a child or an adult.

    Ultimately, the key to success is consistent practice and finding the right teacher to guide you

  • The difficulty of learning the guitar really depends on a few factors, such as your prior musical experience, the amount of time you dedicate to practice, and what kind of music you're interested in playing. But overall, the guitar is considered a relatively accessible instrument for beginners, especially compared to others like the violin or piano.

  • Yes, you can absolutely learn the guitar online as well as in person. Both methods have their advantages and can work well, depending on your learning style and goals.

    Online lessons give you the freedom to learn from anywhere and at a time that suits you; you can choose from teachers worldwide, giving you more options in terms of teaching style and experience, and it’s generally more affordable.

    With in-person lessons, your teacher can physically guide your hands, correct positions, and provide real-time feedback in a way that's hard to do online. Plus teachers can demonstrate techniques and offer more structure.

    At the end of the day it will just depend on whether you value flexibility and convenience or whether you prefer a more direct, hands-on teaching

  • The amount of practice needed to improve your guitar playing depends on your goals, current skill level, and how quickly you want to progress. However, general guidelines would suggest 20-30 mins a day for beginners, 30-60 mins a day for intermediate students, and 1-2 hours a day for advanced players
