We match you with a guitar teacher who fits your goals and the music you want to play, so you can start learning online with no waiting list. Right after you sign up you receive a no-obligation trial-lesson slot via WhatsApp.
After your free trial lesson you agree on goals, playing level and availability with your teacher, and your regular guitar lessons start right away.
Book your guitar lessons online whenever it suits you. The SIRIUS Workspace gives you unlimited access to exercises, chord sheets and recordings of your own sessions, so practice at home always has a clear direction.
Learning guitar works best when the teaching is aimed squarely at you, and that is what SIRIUS is built around. We pair every student in Baltimore with a vetted guitar teacher chosen for the goals and styles they bring along - first open chords, a comeback after twenty years in the closet, or a kid who wants to play the song stuck in their head. Lessons are one to one and run online, so there is no waiting list and no drive across town. Tell us what you want to be able to play and you will get a proposed session with a matching teacher.
Our guitar teachers come from working backgrounds on stage, in the studio and in the classroom, and they meet you at your level instead of at a fixed syllabus. The platform is built for music, so timing and tone come across clearly, and you can take a lesson in Baltimore from a laptop, tablet or phone without installing anything. Booking, rescheduling and payment all live in the same place, which keeps the admin out of your practice time. You start with a free trial lesson and decide afterwards whether to carry on.
SIRIUS gives you one-to-one guitar lessons shaped around what you actually want to play, and everything from finding your teacher to payment runs through a single platform. Adding a lesson before a gig or moving a slot when the week gets busy takes a few clicks in the booking tool.
Learn the fundamentals of rhythm, chord theory and the fretboard, then apply them to the music you like, from rock and blues to pop, country, metal or fingerstyle. Acoustic or electric, your lessons always meet you at your level.
Alongside your lessons you get access to a digital Workspace built to make practice more efficient. In the SIRIUS Cloud you find the tabs, chord charts and targeted exercises your teacher assigns, all in one place. Lessons can be summarized automatically, and recordings let you go back to the moment a riff finally clicked.
You can also join monthly group sessions to play alongside other students, swap songs and pick up feedback, so you benefit from one-to-one coaching and from a community of players at the same time.
More hours = a better price per hour. Every plan: 45-min one-on-one lessons with vetted teachers.
Perfect to get started.

As a market reference, private guitar teachers and music schools around Baltimore commonly charge somewhere in the region of $40 to $90 per hour, with shorter beginner slots at the lower end and long-established studio players at the top. That figure describes the going local market rate, not SIRIUS pricing. With SIRIUS you see your own rate before you book anything, there is no long-term contract to sign, and the first lesson is free, so you can find out whether a teacher suits you before any money changes hands.
Most beginners get through a simple song with two or three open chords inside the first month, as long as they practice in short sessions rather than one long one. Clean chord changes and steady strumming usually start to feel natural after two or three months. Barre chords, fingerpicking and holding your own alongside other players take longer, roughly six months to a year of regular work. Twenty focused minutes a day beats two hours every other Sunday, and your teacher structures the practice so that the time counts.
Yes, you need an instrument of your own, because the practice between lessons is where the progress actually happens. SIRIUS does not supply instruments, so you buy or borrow one yourself. A decent used acoustic or a starter electric with a small amp is plenty to begin on. If you are not sure what to look for, raise it in the trial lesson: your teacher can advise on body size, neck width, string gauge and setup based on your hands and the music you want to play.
For one-to-one guitar teaching, yes. Your teacher watches your fretting hand, hears your timing and corrects your picking as it happens, and video has one advantage a room does not: you can rewatch a demonstration instead of trying to remember it. The practical gain in Baltimore is real, since you skip the drive up the JFX, the parking hunt in Canton and the lesson lost to a changed shift. It also means your choice of teacher is not limited to whoever happens to live near your neighborhood.
Start with whichever one makes you want to pick it up, because that is what decides whether you keep going. Acoustic is tougher on the fingertips at first and needs nothing but the instrument, which makes practice easy anywhere. Electric has lighter strings and usually a slimmer neck, so chords and faster passages come a little sooner, and headphones through a small amp keep things peaceful in a house with shared walls. The technique transfers either way, so plenty of students learn on one and add the other later.

Baltimore is a guitar town in a quiet, stubborn way, never packaged around one signature sound. Turnstile, formed here in 2010, turned hardcore rhythm guitar into something people dance to. Beach House, started in Baltimore in 2004, built a whole vocabulary out of Alex Scally's Stratocaster and a reverb pedal. Wye Oak has Jenn Wasner switching between electric and acoustic inside one song. Three answers to the same six strings, from one city.
The Ottobar at 2549 N. Howard St. books local and touring acts most nights of the week. In Highlandtown, the Creative Alliance runs a calendar reaching from touring singer-songwriters to a full band playing Santana. Down in Fells Point, Cat's Eye Pub has live music every night of the year plus weekend afternoons, so you can hear how a working set is built. Each May, Artscape fills the streets downtown.
So why take guitar lessons in Baltimore online, in a city with this much happening in person? Because crossing town for a 45-minute slot turns into a two-hour errand. The Jones Falls Expressway at five o'clock, the harbor tunnels, hunting a legal parking space in the older row-house blocks - a teacher who looks close on the map can eat your whole evening. Add the shift patterns many people here work, in hospitals and around the port, and a fixed Tuesday appointment across town falls apart by week three. Going online also widens the choice: instead of the two or three teachers near your zip code, you get matched with someone who plays the music you actually want to play.
You start with open chords and, more importantly, with clean changes between them - the gap between shapes is where beginners lose songs, so that is where the work goes. Strumming comes next: keeping the right hand moving while the left catches up, then shaping patterns that fit a song instead of one all-purpose down-up. Then barre chords, which unlock what a capo was hiding, and fingerpicking. Alternate picking builds speed that stays in time rather than speed that runs away, and hammer-ons and pull-offs give riffs their fluency. You learn to read tab quickly and standard notation slowly, because tab tells you where and notation tells you when. Under all of it sits rhythm and timing, worked with a metronome and real songs, since that is what other musicians judge first.
Both are taught, and the choice is less dramatic than it sounds. Acoustic asks more of your hands early and rewards you with an instrument that is always ready. Electric is easier on the fingertips and brings a second half of the craft: what a clean amp channel does versus a driven one, how gain, reverb and delay shape a tone. In a row house with shared walls, an electric through headphones is also the neighborly option at eleven at night.
Once you have a handful of songs, this city gives you somewhere to take them. The Ottobar's bills mix touring names with bands from a few blocks away, the Creative Alliance draws an audience that listens closely, and Cat's Eye Pub is the kind of Fells Point room where the line between crowd and players is thin. A scene that produced Turnstile, Beach House and Wye Oak keeps producing basement shows and people looking for a second guitarist. The quiet hour with your teacher is what makes the loud hour with other people possible.
Kids do well once their hands reach comfortably around a three-quarter size neck, usually around seven or eight. Teenagers arrive with a specific band in mind, which is a good place to start. Adult beginners often worry they missed the window; they did not, and they usually move faster than they expect. Returning players are the easiest group of all - the calluses come back within a fortnight.
The trial lesson is free and carries no obligation. Tell us what you want to be able to play - one song, a whole style, or the nerve to sit in at an open jam - and we will put you with a teacher who fits. Guitar lessons in Baltimore should sound like Baltimore: a bit gritty, a bit varied, and yours.
