Online guitar lessons — FAQs

Acoustic or electric — which should I start with?+

Either works. Acoustic is portable and needs no amp; electric is easier on the fingers and better for rock, blues, and metal. Tell your teacher what music you love and they'll help you pick.

Do I need to read music to learn guitar?+

No. Most modern guitar teaching uses chord charts, tablature, and by-ear techniques. You can absolutely learn to play songs you love without ever touching standard notation, though your teacher can add it later if you want.

How much do online guitar lessons cost?+

Guitar lessons on Musably typically range from $20 to $60 per hour. Book per lesson — there are no packages or lock-in contracts.

My fingers hurt — is that normal?+

Yes, especially in the first few weeks on steel-string acoustic or electric. Your teacher will show you how to build calluses safely and adjust practice sessions so you keep progressing without injury.

How do I get started?+

Browse our guitar teachers or take the 60-second matching quiz, then book a free trial lesson. You'll only need your guitar, a tuner (or free tuner app), and a device with a webcam.
