Want a guitar teacher in Minneapolis who understands the music you are actually chasing? We pair you with one of our vetted instructors based on your level, your style and the times you can realistically make. First chord or fifteenth year, lessons for a nine-year-old or for yourself - the pairing is deliberate, never whoever happens to be free. Book the free trial, then decide.
Our guitar teachers help you get past the point where most self-taught players stall out. The SIRIUS platform was built specifically for music lessons, so the sound stays clean and the delay stays low, and everything runs in your browser with no extra software to install. All you need in Minneapolis is your guitar, a decent connection and a corner of a room. Booking, rescheduling and payment all happen online, which keeps the paperwork out of the way and leaves you with the part you came for: playing.
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.

Published price guides put the going market rate for private guitar lessons in the Minneapolis area at roughly $40 to $90 per hour, with 30-minute lessons commonly landing around $30 to $40. That is a market figure for local in-person teachers, not a SIRIUS price, and it shifts with a teacher's experience and whether you buy single lessons or a package. With SIRIUS you get transparent pricing, no long-term contract, and a free trial lesson first, so you can test whether the teacher and the format fit before spending anything.
With 15 to 20 focused minutes most days, beginners are usually playing recognizable songs on a handful of open chords within four to eight weeks. Smooth barre chords and faster changes tend to take a few months longer, since they depend on hand position and endurance more than talent. What speeds all of it up is having someone catch small habits early, before they turn into things you have to unlearn later.
Yes, you need an instrument at home, since online lessons only work if you can play along in real time. A modest acoustic or a starter electric with a small practice amp is plenty for your first year, and shops like Twin Town Guitars in Minneapolis carry used instruments and can set one up so it plays comfortably. SIRIUS does not rent out instruments, but your teacher is glad to look at a listing with you or talk through what to buy before you spend anything.
Yes, and guitar happens to suit the format unusually well: your teacher can see both your fretting hand and your picking hand clearly on camera, which is exactly what needs watching. SIRIUS runs lessons in the browser with audio tuned for instruments, so you get full one-on-one attention from anywhere in Minneapolis, whether that is a Northeast apartment or a house in Longfellow. It also means snow, ice and rush-hour traffic never cost you a lesson. Start with the free trial and judge the sound for yourself.
Either one is a fine starting point, and the old idea that you have to earn your way up to an electric is simply not true. Acoustic builds finger strength quickly and needs nothing beyond the guitar itself, which makes daily practice easy to start. Electric has lighter strings and a slimmer neck, so chords and single-note lines often feel easier under the fingers, and if the music you love is rock, blues or metal, playing it from week one keeps motivation high. Tell your teacher which songs you are chasing and they will steer you to the right choice.

Minneapolis has spent decades proving that a guitar and a stubborn practice habit carry a player a long way. This is the city that raised The Replacements, keeps a wall of stars on the outside of First Avenue, and still fills small rooms every night of the week with people working out new material. If you want to learn guitar here, the culture is already doing half the work of motivating you. SIRIUS Music School supplies the other half: a teacher matched to you, lessons that fit your week, and a plan that turns practice into progress.
Start with the rooms. First Avenue and its smaller sibling, the 7th St Entry, book touring and local bands downtown almost nightly. The Cedar Cultural Center in Cedar-Riverside runs well over a hundred concerts a year, weighted toward acoustic, folk and international string traditions. Over in Longfellow, The Hook and Ladder Theater on Minnehaha Avenue is marking ten years of shows across its stages this summer. You can hear a different approach to the instrument every weekend without leaving the city.
There is a real gear and repair culture close at hand, too. Twin Town Guitars on Lyndale Avenue South is open seven days a week and handles string instrument and amplifier work, which matters more than beginners expect: a guitar set up properly is dramatically easier to learn on.
Then there is the honest practical argument. Winters here are long, and driving across town for a half-hour lesson in February is how good intentions quietly die. Online lessons remove the commute. Your teacher shows up in your living room, your guitar is already in your hands, and January turns into the most productive stretch of your musical year instead of the gap in it.
Lessons open with what unlocks songs fastest: open chords, clean changes, and strumming patterns you can hold in time. From there your teacher builds technique in a sensible order - alternate picking for control and speed, hammer-ons and pull-offs for smoother phrasing, and barre chords, the wall most self-taught players run into. Barre chords come down to hand position rather than brute strength, and that is exactly the sort of thing a teacher corrects in one session and a video never can.
Fingerpicking opens a whole other repertoire, from folk and blues patterns to arrangements where you carry a bass line and a melody at once. You will read tablature, because that is what guitarists actually trade, and you will pick up standard notation and enough theory to understand why a progression works instead of only where your fingers go. Rhythm and timing run underneath all of it: counting, subdivisions, working with a metronome, and learning to sit in a groove.
Acoustic and electric are both fully covered. On acoustic the focus leans toward dynamics, chord voicings and picking-hand control. On electric you add amp settings, gain staging, pickup choices and a first pass at effects such as overdrive, delay and reverb, alongside bending, vibrato and palm muting. Plenty of students move comfortably between the two.
This scene rewards players who show up. The 331 Club in Northeast books live music most nights of the week in a room small enough that you can watch a guitarist's picking hand from the bar. Every May, Art-A-Whirl turns Northeast studios, breweries and bars into free stages for a weekend, organized by the Northeast Minneapolis Arts Association. That is the bridge worth crossing: practice at home with a teacher who knows your weak spots, then go use it, whether that means a jam with friends, a first band rehearsal, or one shaky but real song in front of other people.
Total beginners who have never held a pick are welcome, and so are returning players pulling a guitar out of a closet after fifteen years away. Kids build coordination and confidence through songs they genuinely like. Teenagers usually arrive with a specific band in mind, which is the best fuel there is. Adults often want a few pieces they can play at a campfire without thinking about it. Advanced players use lessons for targeted work: improvisation, fingerstyle arrangements, tone, or getting material ready for a group.
Nothing has to be decided today. Book a free trial lesson, tell us what you want to play, and meet a teacher chosen to fit you. Between the stages downtown and the bar rooms in Northeast, this city gives you no shortage of reasons to keep going, and taking guitar lessons in Minneapolis online means the weather never gets a vote.
