We believe every lesson should leave your child excited to keep learning, so they stick with it long enough to become a guitar player.
That means learning songs they’re excited to play, with an encouraging teacher who makes lessons something they look forward to each week — building a love of guitar they can carry with them for life.

We’ll send you the Zoom link your child will use for their lessons.
Your child meets their teacher and starts learning guitar — right from home.
That’s why we keep explanations short and guitars in hand. Lessons are built around playing, learning songs, and giving your child plenty of chances to try, improve, and succeed.
Lots of Playing
Your child spends their lesson playing — not sitting through long explanations.
The Right Level of Challenge
Lessons meet your child where they are, so they can keep moving forward without feeling overwhelmed.
Learn Through Songs They Love
We use songs your child is excited to play to build real guitar skills along the way.
Great guitar teaching is about more than musical expertise. It’s about knowing how to connect with the student in front of you.
That’s why we look for teachers who genuinely enjoy working with kids — teachers who are patient, encouraging, explain things clearly, and know how to make learning feel fun and achievable.
The goal isn’t just to teach your child guitar. It’s to give them a teacher they’ll look forward to learning with each week.
More than 50% of GuitarLove families have enrolled more than one child.
There’s a special moment when your child picks up their guitar, plays a song you recognize, and you realize just how far they’ve come.
That’s the goal: not just a child who takes guitar lessons, but a child who becomes a guitar player.
Personal instruction built around your child’s interests, level, and pace.
A focused lesson every week to keep them learning and moving forward.

What ages are GuitarLove lessons for?
GuitarLove offers private online guitar lessons for kids ages 8 and up.
Does my child need any guitar experience?
Not at all. Complete beginners are welcome, as are kids who have already been playing for a while. Lessons meet your child where they are and move forward from there.
What does my child need for lessons?
They’ll need a guitar, a device for joining their lesson, and a guitar method book available on Amazon. A laptop or tablet is recommended for a larger screen.
Both acoustic and electric guitars work. If you’re not sure what guitar or size to buy, just reach out — we’re happy to help.
Will my child actually stay focused during an online lesson?
This is one of the most common questions we hear from parents. Our lessons are designed to keep kids actively playing rather than sitting and listening for long stretches. Short explanations, lots of playing, and one-on-one attention help keep kids involved throughout the lesson.
Does my child need to practice between lessons?
Practice helps, but we don’t believe a busy week without practice means guitar lessons aren’t working.
The most important thing is that your child keeps showing up, enjoys learning, and continues making progress over time. Their weekly lesson gives them dedicated time to play, learn, and improve — and anything they do between lessons is a bonus.
What will my child learn?
Lessons are personalized around your child’s interests, goals, and level. They can learn the songs and styles they’re excited about while building skills such as chords, tabs, scales, soloing, fingerpicking, and more.
Their teacher helps guide their song choices so they’re challenging enough to make progress without being so difficult that learning becomes frustrating.
Can my child learn acoustic or electric guitar?
Yes. We teach both acoustic and electric guitar across a wide variety of musical styles and genres.
Do parents need to be there during the lesson?
No. Kids ages 10+ can attend their lessons independently.
For younger students, we recommend having a parent nearby at first while they get comfortable with the lesson and technology. Once they’ve got the hang of it, they can attend independently too.
What happens after each lesson?
Your teacher sends detailed Lesson Notes after every lesson with what your child learned, the pages or materials they used, helpful links, and what they can work on next.
What if we need to reschedule?
Life happens. With 48 hours’ notice, you can reschedule your lesson into one of our available makeup times.
How does billing work?
Lessons are $40 each and billed monthly based on the number of lessons scheduled that month. There’s no long-term commitment. If you decide to stop lessons, we simply require 14 days’ notice.
We’re happy to help. Get in touch and we’ll answer any questions you have about lessons, scheduling, choosing a guitar, or whether GuitarLove is the right fit for your child.
