Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the first guitar lesson go?
A: Our electric guitar lessons start off with an introduction to the parts of an electric guitar and the settings of an amplifier. Students learn how to make multiple different sounds with the numerous different tone settings on the electric guitar and amplifier. This includes using both channels on an amplifier if the amplifier has two channels. We then get right into playing songs, scales, and chords! We offer electric guitar lessons throughout Toronto.
Q: Do I need a personal guitar to start lessons?
A: You do not need to own a guitar for private electric guitar lessons in Toronto. You can easily rent a guitar from a local music store in Toronto or elsewhere. Initially renting a guitar is the cheaper way to go since you do not need to make a full purchase immediately. Renting a guitar in the long run can be more expensive since you are making monthly payments on an instrument you do not own.
