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.
Tracking down the right guitar teacher in Los Angeles is a project of its own, and it is precisely the part SIRIUS absorbs. Tell us where your playing stands, which hours you can genuinely protect and what you would love to be able to perform, and we pair you with an instructor from a roster we screen ourselves. Never having opened a case matters no more than coming back after fifteen years off; children, teenagers and adults all learn here, on nylon, steel or electric. Take the free trial and what arrives is a specific session proposal with a named teacher, not a spot in a queue.
Sessions run strictly one to one, shaped by your ambitions rather than a fixed syllabus. Our platform was engineered for music instead of meetings, so the audio carries detail a conference tool flattens away - a buzzing fret, a rushed upstroke, a note that never fully rang - and it opens in an ordinary browser with nothing installed beforehand. A student in Los Angeles can therefore log in from a laptop in Highland Park, a tablet in San Pedro or a phone in Tarzana without setting aside an hour for the drive. Whatever your teacher assigns between sessions waits in your Workspace, so home practice has a direction.
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.

Independent teachers across Los Angeles commonly post rates near $40 to $60 per half-hour session and something like $60 to $110 for a full hour, with touring and studio players quoting above that. Those numbers are an orientation drawn from what teachers in this market publish, not a SIRIUS price list, and any individual teacher may sit outside the range. Studio rent and parking in this city push in-person rates upward, which is one reason online tuition tends to compare well. With SIRIUS your own rate appears before you commit to anything, the opening lesson costs nothing at all, and no long-term agreement is attached.
Short and frequent wins comfortably over long and rare. Twenty minutes on five days will move your playing further than two hours crammed into a Sunday, because fingertips need repeated exposure to build calluses and muscle memory settles overnight. Your teacher assigns a small number of specific things to work rather than a vague instruction to practice, which is what keeps those twenty minutes from turning into idle noodling. If a week collapses entirely, pick the instrument up for five minutes anyway; continuity matters more than volume.
SIRIUS neither sells nor loans instruments, so one has to be in the house before lessons begin - home is where the actual progress happens. Budget matters far less than setup: a modest guitar whose strings sit low and true plays better than an expensive one nobody has adjusted. Bring whatever you own to the trial and your teacher will say honestly whether it is worth keeping. If you are shopping cold, a repair-minded shop within the city - Old Style Guitar Shop in Silver Lake, say, or Candelas in Boyle Heights for anything nylon-strung - will steer you better than a website will.
Yes, and the geography is exactly why people do. Whether you are in Venice, Highland Park, San Pedro, Koreatown or out past Northridge, the lesson happens over video in your browser, so nothing depends on the 101 or the 405 behaving. On camera your teacher tracks both hands at once and fixes what is going wrong mid-phrase, and afterwards the recording sits in your Workspace for any passage that went by too quickly. One free trial lesson will tell you soon enough whether learning this way fits you.
No. Most guitarists work primarily from tablature, a diagram of which string and fret to use, and you can read it within an afternoon. Standard notation is genuinely useful once you want to play with musicians on other instruments or handle classical repertoire, so your teacher will introduce as much of it as your goals justify. Plenty of accomplished players never became fluent readers; plenty of others found notation opened doors. Neither route is a prerequisite for starting.

The electric guitar holds a Los Angeles birth certificate. Adolph Rickenbacker and George Beauchamp founded Electro String here in 1931 and put a cast-aluminum lap steel nicknamed the Frying Pan into production, the first modern electric instruments anyone could buy. Nearly a century on, six strings still run through everything this city makes: mariachi on the east side, session work behind film scores, teenagers in the Valley reverse-engineering riffs off a phone screen.
Los Angeles County is a mosaic of separate municipalities, so it pays to be precise about the city boundary. Boyle Heights holds Candelas Guitars at 2724 E. Cesar E. Chavez Avenue, where the Delgado family has built classical and flamenco instruments since 1928 and a third generation now works the bench. In Silver Lake, Old Style Guitar Shop on North Hoover Street deals in refurbished oddities - lap steels, banjos, ukuleles - and repairs what comes through the door. Up in Tarzana, Norman's Rare Guitars has traded vintage instruments on Ventura Boulevard since 1975. For a stage, The Echo at 1822 W. Sunset Boulevard in Echo Park keeps a busy booking calendar, while Kulak's Woodshed on Laurel Canyon Boulevard in North Hollywood hosts a singer-songwriter open mic every Monday, names taken in person beforehand and a lottery deciding who gets a song.
Then the reason so many players here learn through a screen. Distance is the obstacle: the city runs from the harbor at San Pedro to the top of the Valley, and an instructor who looks nearby on a map can sit an hour away once the freeways thicken. Weekly guitar lessons in Los Angeles last far longer when reaching them costs nobody a commute, and time not spent driving is time the instrument is in your hands.
The opening weeks concentrate on small mechanical wins: fretting cleanly so notes ring instead of buzz, then switching between open shapes without the music grinding to a halt. Strumming follows - where an accent belongs, and how the wrist keeps swinging through the beats you leave silent. Once the grip is strong enough, barre shapes hand over the upper neck, and beyond that lie fingerpicking, alternate picking for speed you can steer, and slurred notes that let phrases breathe. Tablature becomes second nature because it is how players swap parts, with enough notation to survive a chart. All of it rests on timing, worked against a click until the pulse holds steady alone.
Which instrument comes first? No answer is wrong. Nylon strings sit gently under untrained fingertips and carry flamenco along with much of the Mexican repertoire heard around this city. A steel-string acoustic pushes back harder at first, projects more, and belongs to folk and singer-songwriter writing. An electric offers the narrowest neck and the slackest strings, and it brings a companion instrument to master: the amplifier, where you find out what gain genuinely does and how delay and reverb sculpt a tone instead of concealing mistakes. Your teacher will say plainly which one suits the records you keep going back to.
Four things keep online guitar lessons in Los Angeles workable week after week:
Solo practice has a ceiling, and this city lifts it. A Monday lottery slot in North Hollywood is among the gentlest debuts music offers: one song, an attentive room. Echo Park hands you something louder and less forgiving. Check the address before you plan around it, though - plenty of venues Angelenos name-drop stand in West Hollywood, Santa Monica or Long Beach, independent cities with their own councils.
Small children typically begin near six or seven, once fingers span the neck, usually on a three-quarter body. Teenagers turn up fixated on a single riff and allergic to scales, which is fine. Grown-ups arrive as untouched beginners, as returners who abandoned it at barre chords decades back, and as capable players trapped in two familiar keys. Each gets a route mapped from where their hands sit today.
Geography never made anyone better at an instrument. One free hour with a matched teacher settles the question quicker than another month of tutorial videos. Pick up whichever guitar is already in the house, however high the action - the Monday sign-up sheet on Laurel Canyon Boulevard will still be waiting once your hands are ready for it.
