If I wanted to take guitar lessons, as a beginner who’s never touched a guitar, how often would I have to go and how much is it per lesson? How long is each lesson?
Thanks!
The price of lessons varies from teacher to teacher. When I give lessons, I charge $25 an hour. No books are required, however they don’t hurt. The only thing your required to have is a guitar of your own so you can practice at home. I have chord charts written out on index cards, which I provide at no extra charge. I give the chords that I want the student to learn and practice between lessons. Lessons are typically once a week. This gives the student time to really learn the previous lesson and memorize the chords. My current student is a very fast learner and has picked up on playing very quickly. He was also a beginner, and after his 4th week, he’s already working on chord progressions and songs. How quickly you learn depends totally on how dedicated you are.

I started taking Guitar Lessons, when I was 14, from a personal instructor back in 1994 for 12 dollars per hour. Now in 2008, that same instructor provides lessons for 24 dollars per hour. When I first began I would see him once a week for an hour after school. He would give me a book to follow along and practice. And after that he would take a piece of popular music, he would listen to it, and write it down for you so you can play it the same way. He was quite talented.

It varies on the teacher and your area of residence, but normally about $20 an hour (A lot of people charge more though), and depending on the teacher’s work schedule (And how many people he/she is already teaching), you can learn the guitar at any time.
And also, your teacher is going to request you buy a lesson book from a local music store (Or sell one to you) so you are able to practice at home between lessons. Books will cost anywhere from $20-$50.
Good luck on your guitar playing!

Where I live, once a week, $15 for half-an-hour. Other places are more expensive.
