💵 What is the price of private guitar lessons?

The price of the private guitar lessons varies depending on the type of lesson, the experience of the tutor and, of course, their qualifications. At FindTutors you will see that guitar lessons cost around £24 an hour.

🏠 Can I learn to play the guitar at home?

Learning to play the guitar is one of those things that can be done at any time. The ability to choose between online or private guitar lessons, as previously noted, is a huge benefit that lets you master any new talent without ever leaving the comforts of your house.

🤷🏻 What types of guitar can I learn to play?

Private lessons are currently available for learning to play different guitar styles: electric, electro-acoustic, bass and acoustic.

  • Acoustic: A soundboard is a defining feature of this guitar genre.
  • Electro-acoustic guitars are a hybrid of acoustic and electric guitars. They are distinguished by having pickups, a microphone, or transducers in addition to the body of an acoustic guitar.
  • Electric: By prolonging the notes further, an electric guitar allows for timbre alterations.
  • Built like an electric guitar, a bass guitar is a plucked string instrument that produces lower frequencies.

Guitar lessons and their benefits

Electric guitar versus acoustic guitar

It's critical to understand the distinctions between acoustic and electric guitars when learning to play. If you're not experienced with musical instruments, you can ask a private guitar teacher about the type of the instrument you'd like to play.

Electric guitars have a distinct style, but acoustic guitars have a more conventional appearance. Unlike acoustic guitars, which have gentle curves, they are sharp and elongated. 

Acoustic guitars have a more classical sound because they don't require an amplifier, whereas electric guitars have a completely different sound because they require one. Additionally, its sound can be tuned to provide various effects based on the kind of music you choose to perform.

Acoustic guitars get a lot of personality from their soundboard. On the other hand, because the vibration of the strings produces electrical signals that produce the sounds, electric guitars have a solid body. In order to transfer vibration to the strings, electric guitars typically require picks.

In contrast, acoustic guitars often do not require picks, but it is frequently advised to use them in beginning guitar lessons. Electric guitars require an amplifier and pedals to replicate the sound, whilst acoustic guitars only require a strap and case.

What can I learn in guitar lessons?

There are various benefits of finding music classes near you or online. There are various methods to learn how to play the electric and acoustic guitar. Regardless of the approach you take, acquiring guitar skills offers numerous advantages. Guitar lessons are beneficial, not just for mastering the guitar. 

  • It enhances social development. Playing the guitar, particularly in a group setting, assists in enhancing and fostering children's social skills. A key benefit of this instrument is that it can be performed solo or alongside other instruments, like the piano.
  • It significantly enhances focus. Private guitar lessons promote the cultivation of concentration, since it is an instrument that necessitates engaging all mental and intellectual abilities.
  • Gives you discipline: Attending guitar lessons encourages the development of discipline, because it is no secret that in order to play the guitar correctly it is essential to spend many hours practising and making mistakes in order to correct them afterwards.

Finding the ideal private guitar teacher

To choose the best guitar tutor for you, you should take into account these tips:

  • Searching for testimonials is important: It is important that you look for recommendations and reviews of the private guitar tutor from previous students to make sure they are a good teacher. This is a very important resource to save time and money when choosing your music tutor.
  • Choose an experienced tutor: Everyone learns differently and at different speeds. It is therefore essential that the guitar tutor that you choose is experienced, this way they will have dealt with lots of different types of students
  • Establish what kind of tutor you want: Obviously, a professional and experienced music tutor will know exactly what is best for each student. However, you should also consider whether you want in-person or online tuition.

The teaching process should be fun: We know you are finding tutors to learn a new instrument, but don't forget that these are guitar lessons. It doesn't matter if you are a beginner or advanced, you should always make sure to have fun. It doesn't matter how talented and skilled the teacher is, but if the lesson becomes boring, it will affect your learning.

In-person vs online lessons

It is normal to question if it's better to find guitar tutors near you or online. This is a personal choice and depends on a variety of factors, including your availability and schedule, as well as your learning style. Perhaps you feel that taking classes near you would hold you accountable and motivate you to keep up with the guitar. As well as this, if you're a beginner at guitar, it may be easier for your guitar tutor to correct your form or hear if you're having any tuning issues with your guitar with in-person tuition.

However, with the advance in technology and the quality of online platforms, it's become easier than ever to take online music lessons. You can still communicate with your online guitar tutor in real time, they can share various online resources with you, and you can even record the lessons so that you can go back and review them later.
