Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

⏳How long does it take to learn the guitar?

The answer to this question is not a straightforward one. It depends on several factors, such as your current musical ability, the amount of time you can dedicate to practise, and the complexity of the music you wish to play.

However, as a rough guide, you can expect to be able to play some simple songs within a few months of regular practice. If you aspire to play more complex pieces or to perform in a band, this might take a couple of years or more. The beauty of online guitar lessons is that you can learn at your own pace, without the pressure of keeping up with a class or feeling embarrassed about your progress.

The journey to guitar mastery is not a sprint; it's a marathon. It requires patience, perseverance, and practice. But with the right resources and mindset, it's a highly rewarding journey that can provide a lifetime of enjoyment.

💰How much does online guitar tuition cost?

Traditional guitar lessons, especially guitar lessons in London, can cost anywhere from £30 to £60 per hour. On the other hand, online guitar lessons can be significantly cheaper, and often provide much more value for money. Online guitar lessons cost between £20 to £30 per hour.

🎸What is a good starter guitar?

Choosing your first guitar is an exciting step on your musical journey.The good news is that you don't need to spend a fortune to get a decent starter guitar.

Acoustic guitars are often recommended for beginners as they're easier to pick up and play. They're also generally cheaper than electric guitars. You can get a good quality beginner's acoustic guitar for around £100 to £200. Look for brands such as Yamaha, Fender, and Epiphone, which are well-known for their beginner-friendly guitars.

If you're more interested in playing electric guitar, you can find beginner's electric guitars for a similar price range. Again, brands like Fender and Yamaha are good places to start. Remember, the most important thing is that the guitar feels comfortable to play and that you like the sound of it.

⌚How many hours a week should I practise guitar?

Practice is the key to progress when learning any musical instrument, and the guitar is no exception. The more you practise, the quicker you'll improve. But how much practice is enough?

As a beginner, aim for at least 15-30 minutes of focused practice every day. This could be learning new chords, practising scales, or working on a particular song. The key is consistency. It's better to practise a little bit every day than to cram several hours of practice into one day a week.

As you become more comfortable with the guitar and start to enjoy playing it, you'll naturally find yourself wanting to practise more. It's at this point that you can start to increase your practice time.

🧑‍🏫Is it better to take guitar lessons or teach yourself?

The answer to this question largely depends on your learning style, budget, and goals. While some people thrive on self-directed learning, others may prefer the structure and personal feedback that comes with traditional guitar lessons.

That said, online guitar lessons offer a middle ground between these two extremes. They provide the structure and professional guidance of traditional lessons, while also allowing you the flexibility to learn at your own pace and on your own schedule.

For beginners, online guitar tutoring can be a great starting point. They can provide you with a solid foundation of guitar skills, from which you can then explore more advanced techniques on your own or with a tutor.

Alongside taking online guitar lessons, you can also find some songs online to teach yourself. There are many websites where you can find sheet music to download. You can also find various video tutorials on YouTube showing you strumming and plucking techniques, as well as teaching you some simple songs to practice.

Exploring the benefits of online guitar lessons

The traditional approach to guitar lessons

In the past, when you wanted to learn a new skill, such as playing the guitar, you'd have to scour neighbourhood ads, local community centres, or the music department at nearby schools. The traditional approach to learning guitar involves one-on-one lessons with a guitar teacher, usually in a studio or in your own home. This method is effective, but it also has its limitations.

Your progress is dependent on the availability and expertise of a local guitar teacher. If you live in a small town, you might have only one or two options to choose from. 

Moreover, traditional guitar lessons can be costly and time-consuming. You have to travel to and from lessons, which adds to the overall cost and eats into your precious time. Not to mention, scheduling conflicts could arise, causing you to miss lessons and subsequently hindering your progress.

In the digital age, searching for 'guitar lessons near me' is becoming increasingly obsolete. No longer do you need to confine your musical education to the constraints of local guitar tutors. With the advent of online guitar lessons, you can now learn from the comfort of your own home, at your own pace, and often at a fraction of the cost of traditional face-to-face lessons. 

The rise of online guitar lessons

Online guitar lessons have become increasingly popular due to their convenience and accessibility.

At first, some people were sceptical about the effectiveness of online guitar lessons. After all, how could a virtual lesson compare to a physical one? But as technology improved and online learning platforms became more sophisticated, this scepticism began to fade.

Today, you can find a wide range of online guitar lessons available, catering to all levels and styles of guitar playing. Whether you're a beginner looking for basic guitar lessons or an advanced player wanting to refine your skills or learn a new genre, there's an online guitar lesson for you.

Benefits of online guitar lessons

Firstly, online guitar lessons offer unparalleled convenience. There's no need to travel or adhere to a strict timetable. You can learn at your own pace, whenever and wherever it suits you. All you need is a guitar and an internet connection. 

Secondly, online guitar lessons often provide a more comprehensive learning experience. You're not limited to the knowledge and expertise of a single guitar teacher. Instead, you have access to a wealth of resources, including video tutorials, interactive exercises, and online communities where you can connect with other learners and experienced guitarists.

Lastly, online guitar lessons tend to be more affordable than traditional lessons. Since you're not paying for a teacher's time and travel expenses, you can often access high-quality lessons at a fraction of the cost. 

How to find online guitar lessons

When choosing an online tutor for guitar, there are a few things to consider. 

  • Firstly, you'll want to look at the quality of the lessons. Check the credentials of the guitar teachers. Are they experienced guitarists? Do they have positive reviews or testimonials from students?
  • Next, consider the range of lessons on offer. Does the tutor cater to your skill level and preferred style of guitar playing? 
  • Lastly, consider the cost. While many online guitar lessons are affordable, it's important to ensure you're getting value for your money.

Online guitar lessons for beginners

If you're a beginner looking to start your guitar journey, online guitar lessons can be an excellent option. Many platforms offer guitar lessons for beginners, specifically designed to help you grasp the basics and start playing songs quickly.

One of the great things about online guitar lessons for beginners is that they allow you to learn at your own pace. You can repeat lessons as many times as you need, and you can move on to more advanced lessons when you feel ready. Plus, you'll have access to a wealth of resources to support your learning, from interactive exercises to online forums where you can ask questions and get help.
