4.9 out of 5 average lesson rating
Lessons adjust to each player's age, pace, guitar type, musical taste, and comfort with chords, rhythm, reading, or improvising, so progress feels steady between lessons.
Live online guitar lessons give Maywood students a clear path toward the music they want to play. Younger players can build a small set of chords, learn steady strumming, and prepare a song for a family recital. Teens can bring school music from nearby Mark Keppel High School or nearby Santa Fe High School into lessons, working on rhythm, reading, and confident performance. Playing with others can start simply: accompany a singer or trade short musical phrases with another guitarist. Teens considering music after high school can use lessons to prepare a polished piece and strengthen their playing. Adults can set a personal song or return-to-playing goal.
A live guitarist can show Maywood learners how strumming, picking, and dynamics shape a song. The Los Angeles Philharmonic offers a way to hear a larger musical picture in Los Angeles; listen for how the players shape phrasing and dynamics. Street Symphony Project is another place to hear music nearby and notice how a phrase can carry feeling. At California State University-Los Angeles, hearing live music can give a student fresh ideas for the next practice. The Los Angeles Symphony offers another chance to listen closely. If you are attending a recital or concert, our concert attire guide can help you choose what to wear.
A guitar is compact, but sound still matters when you choose where to practice in a Maywood home with shared walls. Acoustic guitars make sound without an amp; an electric guitar can be played at a lower volume with headphones and an amp, though the unplugged strings still make some sound. Try both styles and choose the one that suits the music you or your child wants to play. A stable chair and a safe place to rest the guitar make it easier to begin practice. In Los Angeles, John's Music Center, Candelas Guitars, and U.S. Music Store let you handle guitars and check which neck and body feel comfortable in your hands. Keep strings clean and replace them when they sound dull; ask the teacher to show you basic care.
Your teacher chooses books and supplies to match what you or your child is learning, so Maywood players can start with a focused set of materials. A music stand keeps chord charts or notation at eye level, making it easier to keep both hands on the guitar. The Lesson With You shop can supply the teacher’s selections. In Los Angeles, Garibaldi Musical Instruments and John's Music Center can help you look for guitar method books, picks, and tuners. LA County Library may help you explore music reading and guitar resources; availability varies by branch. Bring any book you already use to a lesson, and the teacher can help decide what belongs in your next practice plan.
Families and adult learners use Lesson With You for patient guitar instruction, clear weekly practice goals, and steady support.
"We highly recommend Lessons With You. Our eight-year-old son started online learning to play the guitar with his instructor, Jeff Frantom, in August. Jeff is a fabulous teacher and has great teaching techniques for children."

John's Music Center and Candelas Guitars are places in Los Angeles to find guitar method books, chord charts, or a music stand. LA County Library may have guitar learning resources to borrow.

A steady camera angle, clear audio, and the student’s own guitar set up in Maywood make it easier to work through a passage and try it again together.
The basic setup is a tuned acoustic, classical, or electric guitar, reliable internet, a device with a camera, and a quiet lesson space. A tuner, picks, capo, strap, footstool, guitar support, or small amp may also help once the teacher knows the student's guitar type.
Start with the kind of music you or your child hopes to play. Acoustic guitar suits songs without an amp; classical guitar has nylon strings and a gentler feel, while electric guitar suits amplified styles. In a Maywood home with shared walls, consider volume and where you can practice. The teacher can help compare options during the first lesson.
Many children are ready to start guitar around age seven or eight, when they can hold the instrument comfortably, follow a short direction, and practice briefly with support. A Maywood child interested in school music at nearby Mark Keppel High School or nearby Santa Fe High School can build basic chords and rhythm at their own pace. Older children, teens, and adults also do well as beginners; interest and readiness matter more than a particular age.
