FAQ
Can I teach myself electric guitar?
Sure, you can teach yourself some aspects of playing the electric guitar, but if you want a comprehensive education, you should consider taking lessons with a private teacher.
When you take private electric guitar lessons here with us, our tutors will help lay the foundation for you, ensuring you’re holding your instrument properly, developing the correct techniques, and avoiding bad habits along the way. What’s more, our lessons let you ask questions and receive constructive feedback, which isn’t always the case if you’re learning from an online tutorial or just watching your buddies play.
Is electric guitar hard to learn?
It depends. To many, learning to play the electric guitar isn’t that difficult when they commit themselves to studying the art and practicing along the way. However, your current understanding of music and other instruments may also play a role in whether you find the electric guitar to be challenging to learn or not.
That said, learning to play this instrument is much easier when you receive instruction from a certified and qualified tutor. Here at TakeLessons, our electric guitar teachers are the experts at teaching students of any age and background to master this instrument.
Do you need lessons to learn the electric guitar?
Taking electric guitar lessons is a great way to put yourself on the fast track toward success. While you might pick up some notes or songs from online tutorials or guitar manuals, nothing beats working one-on-one with a private instructor.
Here at TakeLessons, our tutors will cater your lesson plan to best suit you and your music goals. Whether you want to learn a certain style or work on a specific technique, our tutors will be there with you every step of the way.
