Students need an acoustic, classical, or electric guitar, reliable internet, a device with a camera, and a quiet lesson space. Many beginners do well with a comfortable acoustic or classical guitar, or an electric guitar with a small practice amp and basic accessories, with enough detail for focused weekly practice.
