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.
SIRIUS pairs you with a guitar teacher in Long Beach who works the way you learn, whether you have never held a pick or you have been stuck on the same three songs for years. Tell us the style you are after - rock, blues, pop, country, fingerstyle, metal - and we look for the instructor whose own playing sits closest to it. Every lesson is one to one, so nothing gets watered down for a group. Sign up for the free trial and you get a concrete session proposal with a teacher instead of a place on a waiting list.
Our platform was built for music rather than adapted from a meeting tool, which is why the audio stays clean enough to hear a muted string or a slightly late downstroke. It all runs in a normal browser tab, so students in Long Beach can join from a laptop, tablet or phone with nothing to set up first. Your teacher watches your fretting hand, hears your timing and corrects both while you play. Between sessions the exercises and lesson recordings sit in your Workspace, ready whenever you find twenty spare minutes.
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.

Around Long Beach, independent teachers commonly charge in the region of $45 to $70 an hour for private in-person lessons, with some listings starting nearer $35 and studio rates across the wider LA area running higher. Those are market figures for the area, not SIRIUS prices. With SIRIUS you learn online, you see your rate before you book, there is no long-term contract, and the trial lesson costs nothing.
Most beginners get through a simple two- or three-chord song within a few weeks, and chord changes usually start sounding clean somewhere in the first two or three months. Barre chords and faster picking take longer, which is normal and mostly a question of consistency rather than talent. Fifteen focused minutes a day beats two hours every other Sunday. Your teacher sets the pace against your goals instead of a fixed curriculum.
Yes. You need an instrument at home, because that is where most of the progress actually happens. A solid beginner acoustic or electric costs far less than people expect, and local shops such as Gilmore Music Store on East 7th Street can help you choose one and set it up properly. SIRIUS does not supply or lend instruments, so the guitar is yours to buy or borrow. Bring whatever you already own to the trial lesson and your teacher will tell you honestly whether it is playable.
For most students, yes. Guitar is a visual and rhythmic instrument, and a camera aimed at the neck often shows your fretting hand more clearly than sitting side by side would. You also skip the drive across Long Beach and the parking, which makes the lesson far more likely to survive a busy week. The free trial is the simplest way to test whether the format suits you.
Start on whichever one makes you want to practice. Acoustics need no cable or amp and build hand strength quickly, which suits folk, country and singer-songwriter material. Electrics have lighter strings and slimmer necks that many beginners find kinder on the fingertips, and they are the natural home for rock, blues, punk and metal. The core skills - chords, timing, picking, knowing the fretboard - carry straight across, so choosing now is not choosing forever.

Long Beach has been a guitar town for a long time, and rarely a polite one. Sublime came together here in 1988, with Bradley Nowell bending ska, punk and dub into something that still leaks out of car windows on Ocean Boulevard. Scrappy, sunburned, borrowed from everywhere the port brings people: still the sound of this city plugged in.
The proof sits on East 7th Street. Que Sera at 1923 E 7th has put local bands on a small stage for years; Gilmore Music Store two doors down at 1935 sells the gear. A few blocks east, Long Beach Guitar Repair handles setups and string work. On Anaheim Street, Alex's Bar keeps booking loud guitar music - spring 2026 alone ran Supersuckers, Peelander-Z and The Darts through that room. And in August 2026 the waterfront gets the Long Beach Amphitheater, an 11,000-seat room by the Queen Mary that opens on August 14 with Toto and Christopher Cross, with Motley Crue following on September 19.
So why learn online in a city with all that? Because Long Beach is wide. Naples to Bixby Knolls at six in the evening is a genuine drive, and the 405 and the 710 do not care that you have a lesson booked. Add the shift patterns of the port, the airport and the hospitals, plus students at Cal State Long Beach and LBCC stacking classes on top of jobs, and a fixed appointment across town collapses by week three. Online guitar lessons in Long Beach take the commute out of the equation.
Early lessons stay practical. You learn the open chords that carry most songs - E minor, A, D, G, C - then work on the part beginners rush: moving between them without the music stopping. Your teacher builds strumming patterns you feel rather than count, and drills the picking hand until your timing survives a metronome.
After that the neck opens up. Barre chords carry one shape anywhere on the fretboard. Fingerpicking gives you the layered sound behind singer-songwriter material. Alternate picking makes fast lines clean instead of frantic, and hammer-ons and pull-offs add the slur that riffs live on. You will read tab, the currency guitarists trade in, and learn enough standard notation to follow a chart. Underneath all of it sits rhythm and timing, which decide whether anyone wants to play with you twice.
Either one works as a starting point. An acoustic is ready the moment it leaves the case, builds finger strength fast and suits folk, country and anything you might play on a porch in Belmont Heights. An electric has a slimmer neck and lighter strings, kinder on the fingertips, and it is the road into rock, blues, punk and metal.
Go electric and the amp becomes part of the instrument. Your teacher shows you what gain, tone and volume actually do, when a clean channel beats a wall of distortion, and how overdrive, delay and reverb reshape your sound without hiding sloppy playing.
Fingerprints Music in Bixby Knolls, at 3811 Atlantic Avenue, runs in-store sets and listening parties all year - Pete Yorn is booked for an in-store acoustic performance there on August 22, 2026. The bars on 7th and Anaheim keep booking local acts, and the waterfront amphitheater pulls arena-scale bands down to the water. Practicing at your kitchen table and playing out in the city are not separate hobbies here; the first gets you ready for the second.
Children usually start around seven, once their hands reach across the neck, often on a three-quarter size instrument. Teenagers arrive with one specific song and no patience, a fine place to begin. Adults come as beginners, as returners who quit at fifteen and still remember two chords, or as players stuck on one thing. Everyone gets a plan built around where their hands are today.
Name the song - a Sublime riff, a slow blues, the one from your wedding - and your teacher builds the opening weeks around it. That is how guitar lessons in Long Beach ought to begin: not with a method book, but with something you want to hear yourself play. The trial is free; bring a guitar and half an hour.
