Thinking about learning guitar and looking for a teacher in New Orleans? SIRIUS works only with vetted guitar instructors, and we pair you with the one who suits your goals rather than handing you a generic curriculum. Total beginner, parent booking lessons for a child, or an adult who quit years ago and wants back in - there is a fit for each. Tell us whether you are after campfire chords, blues soloing or tight funk rhythm playing, and we will build the plan around it. Sign up for a free trial lesson and you will receive a session proposal with your matched teacher.
Our guitar teachers are working musicians who know how to break a technique down until it clicks. Lessons run on technology we built for music instruction, so timing stays tight and the sound of your instrument comes through cleanly. Nothing to download and nothing to configure - you open a link in your browser and start playing. That means you can take your lesson anywhere in New Orleans, whether your guitar lives in the front room or in a practice space across town.
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.

As a market reference, private guitar lessons in New Orleans generally run about $40 to $90 per hour, with 30-minute lessons often landing between $30 and $45 - the exact figure depends on the teacher's experience, the lesson length and whether you meet in person. Those are general market figures, not SIRIUS prices. Because SIRIUS lessons run online, you skip travel time and studio overhead, you see your price clearly before you book, and you begin with a free trial lesson rather than committing to a long-term contract.
Faster than most people expect for the first songs, and slower than anyone expects for total command. With a lesson each week and roughly twenty minutes of daily practice, most beginners are playing recognizable songs with clean chord changes inside two or three months. Barre chords, fingerpicking and confident soloing take longer, usually a year or more of steady work. The single biggest factor is consistency, and having a teacher check your technique keeps you from grinding bad habits into your hands.
Yes, you will need an instrument at home, since guitar is learned through repetition between lessons. Any playable acoustic or electric guitar works to begin with - a solid entry-level instrument is enough, and a used one in good condition is a perfectly reasonable start. What matters more than the price tag is a proper setup: strings at a comfortable height make everything easier for beginner fingers. If you are unsure what to buy, ask your teacher during the free trial lesson and you will get an honest recommendation for your budget and style.
Yes, and guitar suits the format especially well - your teacher can see your fretting hand, your picking hand and your posture on screen, often more clearly than from across a room. SIRIUS lessons run in your browser with sound quality built for music, so chords and tone come through as they actually are. You save the drive across New Orleans, keep your own amp and setup, and store tabs, exercises and lesson recordings in your Workspace for the week ahead. Book a free trial lesson and judge the format yourself.
Either is a fine starting point, so let the music you want to play decide. Acoustic guitar needs no extra gear, builds hand strength quickly and suits singer-songwriter material and folk-blues fingerpicking. Electric guitar has lighter strings and a slimmer neck, which many beginners find kinder on the fingertips, and it is the natural choice for funk rhythm work, blues leads and rock - though you will want a small amp. The techniques transfer in both directions, so nothing is wasted if you switch later.

Plenty of cities claim a music tradition, but few put the guitar to work the way New Orleans does. The city gets filed under horns and piano, yet the engine under a Meters record is Leo Nocentelli's rhythm guitar - a New Orleans native whose clipped, syncopated comping on Cissy Strut showed generations of players that one tight bar of groove can carry a whole song. Add the raw blues of Little Freddie King, the R&B chord voicings that grew up beside the city's piano tradition, and the second-line feel that nudges the beat off center, and you get a place where guitarists learn rhythm first and everything else after.
Turning that inspiration into playing takes structure, which is what the SIRIUS Music School provides: one-on-one instruction with a teacher matched to you, online and paced to your week.
Because you can hear your homework performed live almost any night. On Frenchmen Street, Blue Nile at 532 books funk, blues, soul and brass acts, while d.b.a. at 618 runs local and regional bands nightly - both are fine rooms for watching a rhythm player lock in with a drummer instead of stepping on him. Uptown, Tipitina's on Napoleon Avenue keeps a schedule that swings from brass bands to touring guitar acts, and every fall the free Crescent City Blues & BBQ Festival fills Lafayette Square; the 2026 edition runs October 9 to 11 with Samantha Fish, Booker T. Jones and Little Freddie King.
The city looks after instruments, too. Strange Guitarworks on Dublin Street in Carrollton handles neck resets, fretboard work, truss rod repairs and pickup installs, and takes walk-ins during the week - useful once your playing outgrows a guitar that never had a proper setup.
Learning online fits the local rhythm. Crosstown traffic, a long humid summer, and schedules built around shift work and gigs all argue for a lesson you take at home - in the Marigny, Mid-City or Algiers - without hauling an amp anywhere.
Lessons start with the fundamentals that make songs possible: open chords and clean changes, strumming patterns you can feel rather than count out loud, and steady rhythm and timing against a metronome or backing track. From there your teacher adds barre chords so you can move a shape anywhere on the neck, fingerpicking for ballads and blues, alternate picking for speed and evenness, and hammer-ons and pull-offs for the fluid phrasing that fills space between chords.
You will also learn to read guitar tablature, the fastest route to playing real songs, plus enough standard notation to follow a chart and talk with other musicians. Practical skills come along the way: tuning by ear, changing strings, using a capo, and building a routine that brings progress in twenty focused minutes a day.
Both are taught, and your teacher helps you choose. Acoustic guitar builds finger strength and exposes sloppy technique early. Electric guitar sits lower under the fingers and opens the door to amps and effects - gain structure, when a compressor tightens a funk part, how reverb or a wah pedal shapes a tone. Many students switch between the two.
Stages here reward players who show up prepared. Frenchmen Street runs on live bands rather than playlists, Tipitina's has hosted the city's funk and roots musicians for decades, and neighborhood bars keep informal jams going through the week. Practicing at home and playing out locally is a natural loop: you build chord vocabulary and rhythmic feel in your lessons, then take them to a jam, a porch session or a first sit-in. Your teacher can prepare you for exactly that, from working up a setlist to holding a groove when nobody counts you in.
Complete beginners are welcome, and so are returning players dusting off a guitar that has sat in a closet since college. Kids start with short, playful lessons built around songs they actually like; teenagers often arrive with a band in mind; adults usually want songs plus a real understanding of what they are doing. Advanced students dig into improvisation, funk rhythm playing, blues phrasing and songwriting. Whatever your starting point, you set the pace.
The best time to begin is the week you decide to. Tell us your goals and what you want to play, and we will propose a matching teacher plus a free trial lesson, so you can try guitar lessons in New Orleans with nothing at stake. From a first clean chord change to a groove that sits right in a room of musicians, this city gives you every reason to keep going.
