Q: How do I get started?
A: Easy! From the homepage, Go to "Start Here" and choose your instrument. Next, choose the style of guitar you wish to study. Then, choose a skill level. Your choices will show teachers that have the guitar lessons you're looking for, as well as the way you want your guitar lessons delivered (online or DVD). Then, click "Add to Cart" and go through checkout to start learning. Or, view a free preview lesson by clicking on any of the instructor photos.

Q: What’s FREE on the site besides guitar lessons?
A: Lots! Click on the Free Tools tab on the toolbar and you'll find FREE online tuners, a really cool graphic metronome, a Chord Dictionary in both smaller and larger formats, a drum track interface, animated charts of the guitar fretboard, and lots more cool free guitar stuff to supplement your guitar lessons.

Now click "Articles." You'll find fun tidbits, trivia, opinions, and items related to playing guitar, famous guitarists, music, rock, effects, and more. They just might lead you to check out some new gear or buy a CD from an artist you've never heard.


And of course you can check out a FREE GUITAR LESSON online from any one of our courses whenever you like.

Q: How can I be sure of the quality of your guitar lessons?
A: We guarantee our lessons. If you start using VIDEOGUITARLESSONS.COM and find it just isn’t working for you, write us in a reasonable time and we’ll refund your money. But that happens rarely. Our guitar teachers are the best, and our targeted styles and levels of guitar lessons pretty much guarantee you’ll find the guitar course that’s right for you.

Q: How do I know what level of online guitar lessons to choose?
A: Our main courses come in five levels –

  • Beginner Guitar Lessons
  • Beginner/Intermediate Guitar Lessons
  • Intermediate Guitar Lessons
  • Intermediate/Advanced Guitar Lessons
  • Advanced Guitar Lessons
Place yourself in one of these groups.  If in doubt, place yourself at the highest level you think you can handle.  We want your guitar lessons to be challenging! If the course you choose turns out to be too difficult, write us a note (click SUPPORT on the toolbar) and we'll switch you down into a level of guitar lessons you can handle.

Q: I'm a beginner. Are your STAR GUITAR LESSONS too advanced for me?
A: Probably not! If you want to learn from ace guitar teachers like Larry Carlton and Jeff Baxter, give their STAR GUITAR LESSONS a try.  While there will be tips and techniques which are too advanced for you now, you'll remember them for the future.  And any course you buy is good for a full year – longer if you ask us to extend it.

We find the ideas in STAR GUITAR LESSONS go beyond mere 'play the notes' guitar instruction into deeper musical ideas, so they're valuable to guitar players with any level of skill.

Q: Can I take Bass Lessons (Bass Guitar Lessons) on your website?
A: You bet.  We feature three BASS GUITAR COURSES – two taught by Al Baca (for beginner bass lessons and intermediate bass lessons), and a STAR BASS LESSONS session taught by famous bass player Alphonso Johnson.

Q: Is VIDEOGUITARLESSONS.COM cheaper than in-person guitar lessons?
A: Yes! VIDEOGUITARLESSONS.COM is far less expensive that studio guitar lessons.  A typical weekly guitar lesson in person costs about $20-25 and up. For that much you can get an entire COURSE (30-40 lessons) on our website.  Consider in-person lessons at $100 per month (four lessons); for $25 a month you can buy our ALL ACCESS PASS and take unlimited lessons.  If you have multiple students in your family, the savings are even greater!

Q: Why is VIDEOGUITARLESSONS.COM better than in-person guitar lessons?
A: CONVENIENCE: You have to drive or travel to in-person guitar lessons at a fixed time each week.  You have to cancel or re-schedule if you can't make your appointment.  At VIDEOGUITARLESSONS.COM, we're right in your home 24 hours a day.  You work us into your busy schedule and way that suits you.  The travel/gas savings are great too!

FLEXIBILITY: Have a lot of time this week?  Take two, three, or four lessons.  Are you in a busy stretch, or going out of town?  Didn't get to practice much?  Skip a lesson – no problem.  Try that with an in-person guitar teacher.

CUSTOMIZED GUITAR LESSONS: You pick your style and level of guitar lessons with VIDEOGUITARLESSONS.COM.  With an in-person teacher you're often at the mercy of his/her strengths and preferences.

STAR TEACHERS! Where else can you take guitar lessons from teachers like jazz giant Larry Carlton?  Bass gurus Al Baca and Alphonso Johnson?  Steely Dan's Jeff 'Skunk' Baxter?  The stars shine at VIDEOGUITARLESSONS.COM!

Q: What if I change my mind and want to cancel my guitar lessons?
A: Just let us know.  Your All Access Pass is a month-to-month commitment you can break any time (unless you choose to buy at a discount by the quarter).  Single-course purchases remain good for one year from date of purchase.

Q: What if I need help that isn't covered in my guitar lesson videos?
A: Just click on the 'Support' button on our toolbar and email us a note about your problem.  Our Customer Service staff will help you solve any problem relating to your guitar lessons.  Besides helping with your guitar lessons, we'll also answer questions about your guitar gear, purchases, and anything else we can.

Q: Do your video guitar lessons include tablature?
A: Yes! Most do, and we are adding new tablature to our guitar lessons all the time.  If you need tablature for a specific video guitar lesson, just drop us a note ('Support' button) and we'll try to post it ASAP.
top
 
Q: I can't read music. Will online guitar lessons work for me?
A: Sure.  Many guitarists do not read music at all.  Most read tablature, a special form of music notation just for learning songs on guitar (and bass).  We include tablature along with the videos on almost all of our online guitar lessons.  And we have a special course on Reading Music Notation for Guitarists, taught by John Heussenstamm.  Maybe you've always wanted to learn to read music, or maybe you need to hone your skills for sessions.  Give John's Reading Music Course a try! If you're an All Access Pass member – you already have it!
