Why Text Guitar Lessons?
We've found that giving people tangible on-demand lessons can be far more effective and affordable than spending an hour sitting down with someone once a week for a lesson in person or over zoom. We'll give you the tools you need to succeed and at a fraction of the cost of studio lessons. Here's how it works:
You’ll text us a video of your playing, gear, or question.
We’ll send you a custom monthly practice plan and schedule.
You send us your questions whenever you have them.
We’ll get you going in no time, we’ve seen students ready to play rhythm in a band within their first month of our instruction.
Beginner
You know a few chords and can probably play Wonderwall. We’ll show you what to do next.
Intermediate
You might feel like you can’t get any better or faster. We’ll show you what you need to do to break your plateau and keep on rocking.
Advanced
You can solo and shred with the best of em. We’ll help you refine your skills and add to your repertoire.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this the only time I can join?
We’re only taking a handful of members for this first round of enrollment. If you want to get in on this pricing, now is the time. Once we fill this first round, you’ll need to join the waiting list for the next opportunity. We’re planning to add lots more to the program as it continues, so now’s the time to lock in that legacy pricing. If you’d like to cancel sometime in the future, that’s totally cool. You can cancel whenever you like with no questions asked.
What styles and methods can you teach me?
Our instructors are experienced in a wide variety of sensibilities and styles. From classical and jazz to rock and worship, we’ve got you covered.
Can new players benefit?
Totally! Our instructors have experience training all ages and skillsets. Whatever level your playing is at, they can develop a plan that will make you a better player quickly.
Can you help me with my tone?
We have the know-how and gear to help you with any question you may have about your pedalboard, signal-chain, string gauge, and all that. With 24/7 access to our instructors, you can ask whatever you want and we’ll help you every step of the way as you chase your perfect tone.
Can I cancel?
Yep, you can cancel anytime. You’ll have access to us for the remainder of the 30 days you paid for.
Do you offer these lessons in other languages?
While the lessons are offered in English, you can easily drop the text portions of the lessons in to google translate to continue forward. Let us know as you’re enrolling and we’ll make sure to have your videos be largely demonstrative rather than speaking if you speak another language.
Are my lessons really personalized?
Absolutely! Once you submit your entrance video our team will put together a plan made specifically for your skillset. We’ll follow along and adjust your lessons you go forward.
How often are the lessons?
You won’t have a standard lesson time but you’ll have access to us always. We’ll develop your lesson plans monthly and check in weekly. You can text us 24/7 though and we’ll get back to you with a personal response within 24 hours.
