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.
Getting started on guitar goes considerably faster when someone is watching your hands. SIRIUS pairs you with a teacher from our screened network based on the music you care about and the level you are starting from, whether that is a first chord, a first solo, or an instrument you set down years ago. Say whether you want to focus on rhythm playing, lead work or fingerstyle, and the match is built around that. Wherever you are in Cleveland, the first lesson costs nothing and comes with a session proposal for the teacher we picked.
Our teachers have spent years both playing and teaching, and they adapt the plan to how you learn instead of running a fixed curriculum. The platform was built for music, so the sound holds up when you plug in and the timing stays tight enough to play together. Everything happens in a browser tab, with no software to wrestle with, from any room in Cleveland with a decent connection. Between sessions the Workspace keeps your assignments and lesson recordings where you can find them again.
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 and not a SIRIUS rate: local directory listings for Cleveland teachers put private lessons at roughly $35 to $70 per session depending on whether you book 30 or 60 minutes, with one-to-one hourly rates commonly quoted between $45 and $70, and prepaid monthly packages in the low-to-mid hundreds. Those are other people's prices, gathered from public listings, and any individual teacher may sit above or below them. What SIRIUS commits to is that you see your own rate before anything is booked, your trial lesson is free, and you are never locked into a term.
Sooner than most people assume, as long as you touch the instrument between lessons. Fifteen focused minutes a day beats two hours on Sunday. Most beginners can get through a recognizable three-chord song within four to six weeks, hold a steady strum by around three months, and start managing barre chords somewhere in the first six months, though that last one depends heavily on hand size and patience. Progress is rarely smooth; you plateau, then jump. A teacher mostly shortens the plateaus by spotting the one habit that is holding you back.
Yes, you need an instrument at home, since practice between sessions is where the learning happens. It does not need to be expensive. A decent beginner acoustic or electric runs well under a few hundred dollars new, and used instruments are plentiful. One thing worth doing before your first lesson: have the guitar set up, meaning the string height and intonation adjusted. A cheap guitar that plays easily beats an expensive one that fights you, and shops around town handle this routinely for a modest fee. Note that SIRIUS does not rent or supply instruments.
Yes, and guitar suits the format better than most instruments because your teacher needs to see your hands, which a camera shows more clearly than a chair across the room does. You get one-to-one attention, the same lesson plan, and audio built for music rather than conference calls. The practical wins are local: you skip the drive across Cuyahoga County, winter weather stops being a reason to cancel, and you can pick a teacher whose specialty matches yours instead of whichever studio happens to be nearest your Cleveland neighborhood.
Start on whichever one matches the music that made you want to play, because motivation outlasts theory. Electric is physically easier for a beginner, with lighter strings and a narrower neck, and it is the natural choice for rock, blues or metal; it does mean buying a small amp and eventually thinking about pedals. Acoustic needs nothing but the guitar, is easier to pick up and play on the couch, and builds hand strength faster, though the heavier strings sting a little at first. Neither choice locks you in. The chords, timing and picking technique carry straight across, and plenty of players end up owning both.

Cleveland's musical reputation was built by people plugging in. The James Gang formed here in 1966 and gave Joe Walsh room to develop the tone he is still known for, and the city has kept turning out guitar-forward bands ever since. That lineage still shows up on a Tuesday night at a bar on Detroit Avenue, in the pedal cases at a shop on Lorain, and at the load-in doors of rooms that book original acts.
Cleveland gives a new player somewhere to aim. Brothers Lounge at 11609 Detroit Avenue runs a weekly Tuesday open mic, about as low-stakes a first performance as exists. The Beachland Ballroom on Waterloo Road in Collinwood books touring and regional acts year round, and Happy Dog on Detroit Avenue puts local bands onstage most nights of the week. Over on Lorain Avenue, Guitar Riot handles the other half: gear you can play before buying, plus repair and setup work when your action is fighting you.
The argument for learning online here is less romantic. Greater Cleveland is spread thin, and the teacher who suits you may sit twenty-five minutes away across I-77 or I-90, a round trip that eats more time than the lesson. Add the winter: Cleveland averages roughly sixty inches of snow a season, with measurable snow in every month from November through March, and the eastern half of Cuyahoga County sits in the lake-effect snow belt downwind of Lake Erie. Add the shift patterns of a city whose hospital systems are among its largest employers, where twelve-hour rotations ignore a fixed 5 p.m. slot. Taking guitar lessons in Cleveland over video removes all three at once: your teacher is chosen for fit rather than proximity, and an evening session survives the weather.
Early lessons stay concrete. You begin with open chords and, more importantly, clean changes between them: the gap between knowing a G and arriving at a C in time is where most self-taught players stall. Strumming patterns follow, then alternate picking so your right hand stops being the weak link. Barre chords arrive once your hand is ready and unlock the rest of the neck. Fingerpicking gives you a second voice, and hammer-ons and pull-offs add fluency to lines you know. You will read tab, because that is what the internet speaks, and pick up enough standard notation to talk with musicians who use it. Underneath it all sits rhythm and timing: a player with ordinary chops and reliable time gets asked back, and a flashy one who rushes does not.
Both are legitimate starting points and neither is the correct one. Acoustic is portable, honest about sloppy technique, and builds finger strength fast. Electric has lighter strings and a slimmer neck, which makes barre chords and lead playing kinder to a beginner's hands, and it is the obvious call if what pulls you in is rock, blues or metal. Go electric and your teacher covers the amp too: what the gain and tone controls really do, why a small practice amp beats a big one in an apartment, and where an overdrive or a little reverb belongs in the chain.
Past the neighborhood bars, the city has rooms with real weight. The Agora Theatre at 5000 Euclid Avenue has booked touring bands for decades and keeps a full national calendar, with dozens of shows on sale at any given time. The Music Box Supper Club in the Flats at 1148 Main Avenue leans toward Americana, blues and tribute nights, a good place to watch working guitarists up close. Study someone's right hand, then go home and work on what you noticed. A kitchen table and a stage forty minutes away are not separate hobbies.
No prior experience is assumed. Kids can start once their hands hold a string down comfortably, usually around seven or eight, and a smaller-bodied guitar helps. Teenagers tend to arrive with a song list already written and get moved through technique in service of it. Adults returning after twenty years retain more than they expect and mainly need the rough parts rebuilt.
The first lesson is free and there is nothing to sign. Tell us what you want to play, whether you own an acoustic or electric, and when you are free. Guitar lessons in Cleveland should not depend on the weather or a drive across the county. Bring the guitar you have, and start with one chord.
