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.
Ready to start guitar in Phoenix? We look at what you want to play, how much time your week really has, and who on our vetted teaching roster is the right fit - then we put that name in front of you. Parents booking for a ten-year-old, absolute beginners, and adults with an old acoustic in the closet all go through the same careful pairing. The trial session costs nothing and commits you to nothing.
Our instructors are working musicians who know how to break technique down into steps you can practice on your own. The SIRIUS platform was built for one-on-one music teaching, so the audio stays clean and your teacher can hear exactly what your picking hand is doing. Everything runs in the browser, so there is nothing to set up, and you can take your lessons anywhere in Phoenix from a laptop or tablet. Between sessions, your tabs, exercises and lesson recordings wait for you in your Workspace.
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 Phoenix, private guitar teachers typically charge about $40 to $90 per hour, with roughly $30 to $40 common for a half-hour slot. Those are general market figures for the area, not SIRIUS prices, and the exact rate depends on the teacher's experience, the lesson length and whether they travel to you. Because SIRIUS is online, you see a clear price up front, there is no long-term contract, and your first lesson is a free trial. That makes it easy to test the fit before you spend anything.
Most people can strum a few songs with open chords within four to eight weeks of steady practice, and twenty focused minutes a day beats one long session on the weekend. Barre chords and clean lead playing usually take a few months longer, because they are as much about hand strength as about knowledge. There is no real finish line here: players who have been at it for years still take lessons. What a teacher mainly buys you is speed, since you skip the bad habits that are hard to unlearn later.
Yes, you need an instrument at home to practice on, and SIRIUS does not supply or rent one. A solid beginner acoustic or electric can be found new or used for a modest amount, and a shop like Bizarre Guitar and Drums on North 7th Avenue can help you check the action and the neck before you buy. Tell your teacher during the trial lesson what you are considering, and they will tell you honestly whether it suits the music you want to play. For younger students, body size matters far more than brand.
Yes, and guitar suits online teaching particularly well, because your teacher can see both hands clearly on camera. Lessons run in your browser at the time you booked, so a summer afternoon in Phoenix never turns into a drive across town in triple-digit heat. Your teacher can share tabs and exercises on screen, and the session recording stays available so you can revisit a tricky passage during the week. If you are unsure, the free trial lesson is the cheapest possible way to find out.
Either one works as a starting point, and the old rule that everyone must begin on acoustic simply is not true. An acoustic needs no extra equipment and builds finger strength quickly, though the strings feel stiffer under your fingertips at first. An electric is gentler on the hands and plugs into an amp, which is the better route if rock, blues or metal is what pulled you in. The most useful question is which instrument makes you want to practice, since the chords, scales and rhythm you learn carry over between them.

Phoenix has always leaned on the guitar. The Kirkwood brothers started Meat Puppets here in January 1980 and bent desert punk into something loose, twangy and unmistakably Arizonan, and that six-string streak never really left the valley. It shows up in the punk and indie bills at small downtown rooms, in the Latin and country bands working weekend patios, and in the touring acts that roll through the bigger halls every week of the year. If you have been meaning to pick up the instrument, this city gives you plenty of reasons to finally start.
Because there is somewhere to take your playing once it gets going. Crescent Ballroom on North 2nd Avenue books touring and regional bands nearly every night downtown, and Last Exit Live in the Historic Warehouse District on South Central Avenue puts local players on the same stage as national acts in a room small enough that you can watch a guitarist's right hand from the bar. Gear is close by too: Bizarre Guitar & Drums on North 7th Avenue has been selling acoustics, electrics, amps and pedals in central Phoenix for decades, and an afternoon there is a fast education in what you actually want to play.
There is also an honest, practical reason to learn online here. July highs in Phoenix average around 107 degrees and August is not far behind, so for a good stretch of the year the best practice room is the air-conditioned one you already live in. Online lessons mean no drive across the valley at 5 p.m. in triple-digit heat, no parking, no rescheduling because the car is an oven. You sit down with your guitar, your teacher appears, and the hour is all playing.
Your first lessons focus on getting real sound out of the instrument: open chords, clean fretting, and strumming patterns that lock into a beat instead of drifting. From there your teacher builds out the toolkit. Barre chords unlock keys that open shapes cannot reach. Fingerpicking gives you independence between thumb and fingers for folk, blues and singer-songwriter material. Alternate picking builds speed and evenness in the picking hand, while hammer-ons and pull-offs add the legato phrasing that makes a lead line sing.
You will also learn to read what other players write down. Tabs get you into songs quickly and show you exactly where to put your fingers; standard notation tells you rhythm and duration that tab often leaves out. Most students end up comfortable with both. Underneath all of it sits timing: counting, subdividing, playing with a metronome or a drum track until your rhythm holds up next to other musicians.
Both are taught, and the choice is yours. Acoustic gives you a self-contained instrument you can carry to a friend's porch. Electric brings amps and effects into the picture, so your lessons cover gain staging, pickup selection, and how reverb, delay and overdrive shape a tone. Plenty of students eventually work on both, and the core technique carries straight across.
The Van Buren on West Van Buren Street brings rock, pop and hip-hop tours into a downtown hall, and each spring M3F Fest sets up in Steele Indian School Park for a weekend of live sets. Between those, the smaller downtown rooms keep a steady rotation of local bands, and open mic and jam nights are listed around the central city through the week. That is the arc worth aiming for: you learn and practice at home, quietly and consistently, and then you go use it somewhere with a stage and a PA.
We build guitar lessons in Phoenix around the player rather than a fixed curriculum. Complete beginners are welcome, including adults who have never held a pick. Returning players who put the instrument down years ago usually come back faster than they expect. Kids can start once they can comfortably reach around a smaller-bodied guitar, and teens often arrive with a specific band they want to sound like, which is a perfectly good curriculum. Advanced players use lessons to fix a plateau, learn theory, or prepare material for a gig.
The easiest way to find out whether this fits is to play for an hour with a teacher and see how it feels. Take a free trial lesson, tell us what you want to play, and we will match you with an instructor who knows that ground. Bring your guitar and your favorite song, and we will take it from there.
