Chord Creation

Arianna's class is amazing. Every class was extremely well thought out, always engaging, and had great cohesion of concepts throughout every class. It’s more reminiscent of a Music Conservatory Masterclass than your typical basic online class!

Frequently Asked Questions

Your guide to learning guitar

What is the best way to learn guitar?

The best way to learn guitar is through private lessons with an experienced teacher near you or online. While there are plenty of online tutorials out there, nothing compares to personalized instruction where a professional teacher can watch your technique, correct mistakes before they become habits, and tailor lessons to your learning style. A skilled teacher will identify subtle issues you might miss on your own, provide immediate feedback, and create a structured learning path that helps you quickly reach your goals. Private lessons offer both accountability and motivation, helping you to make steady progress instead of developing bad habits that could take years to unlearn. Unlike self-guided learning, where questions go unanswered and mistakes go uncorrected, personal instruction dramatically accelerates your progress.

How long does it take to learn guitar?

Learning guitar typically takes 100-150 hours to reach a comfortable beginner level, but you can start playing your first songs well in a few weeks. If you practice just 30 minutes daily, you’ll be very comfortable within 6 months.


While guitar isn't inherently difficult, it requires patience and consistent practice. For most people, the hardest part to learn guitar is developing finger strength and dexterity for clean chord transitions, as your fingers need time to build calluses and muscle memory. Compared to learning alone, working with a qualified teacher leads to much faster progress through personalized feedback, structured learning progression, and maintaining motivation – they'll catch bad habits early and adapt lessons to your learning style, helping you advance in a fraction of the time it would take to self-teach.

Finding the right guitar teacher near you

Finding the right guitar teacher near you who matches your skill level and fits your budget can be time-consuming. Starting your guitar playing journey with a great teacher will make all the difference in your progress.


Using Til, you can easily find the perfect guitar teacher for your playing level and preferred style.
