String Theory Part 1 - Triads
Molly is absolutely amazing. The way she breaks things down so you can understand how to play is incredible. She encourages questions to help you along in your journey. I would encourage everyone to take her class. You will be better no matter what.

Meaningful Chords, Meaningful Soloing
I left Jude's class feeling much more confident in knowing how to make meaningful musical decisions. This class was always the highlight of my week and it was a blast getting to learn alongside other musicians seeking growth! Highly recommend!
Ryan G.
Chord Creation
Arianna's class is amazing. Every class was extremely well thought out, always engaging, and had great cohesion of concepts throughout every class. It’s more reminiscent of a Music Conservatory Masterclass than your typical basic online class!

Zero to Hero
Caitlin is an exceptional guitar teacher (top 1%) and this is an outstanding course. The live lessons are highly interactive and there isn't a question that doesn't go unanswered. Til is a pleasure to use.

4 Chords: The Best of Taylor Swift
Nena tailored the class to us and what we wanted to learn. She gave us tips and tricks on how to play songs we wanted at whatever level we are at, I always felt encouraged. This class has been an invaluable part of my guitar playing journey.

Chord Vocabulary for Guitarists
This class was a perfect fit for me. It was refreshing to find an intermediate class that focused on harmony and voice leading. It was nice to have the opportunity to chat live and ask questions to clarify things in real time.

Everything about this class was just absolutely fantastic. If you are a passionate guitarist and you are up to a challenge or even just learn something new, than this is definitely the class for you! Don't think twice about it, take the class!

Quist is excellent at providing motivation to practice. My family, friends, and bandmates commented that my guitar playing, timing, and phrasing all improved.

Workshop for the Developing Guitarist
This was a great class. I learned a lot from Dylan and Eugene and the lessons were very fun. They are both extremely knowledgeable and experienced teachers. I look forward to any future classes.

Level Up: Jazz & Contemporary Guitar
I've already learned so much my brain hurts! Tash has given me some simpler things to work on since I'm a beginner. I've taken several of the Til classes and they are such a great way to learn.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your guide to learning guitar
The best way to learn guitar is through private lessons with an experienced teacher near you or online. While there are plenty of online tutorials out there, nothing compares to personalized instruction where a professional teacher can watch your technique, correct mistakes before they become habits, and tailor lessons to your learning style. A skilled teacher will identify subtle issues you might miss on your own, provide immediate feedback, and create a structured learning path that helps you quickly reach your goals. Private lessons offer both accountability and motivation, helping you to make steady progress instead of developing bad habits that could take years to unlearn. Unlike self-guided learning, where questions go unanswered and mistakes go uncorrected, personal instruction dramatically accelerates your progress.

Learning guitar typically takes 100-150 hours to reach a comfortable beginner level, but you can start playing your first songs well in a few weeks. If you practice just 30 minutes daily, you’ll be very comfortable within 6 months.
While guitar isn't inherently difficult, it requires patience and consistent practice. For most people, the hardest part to learn guitar is developing finger strength and dexterity for clean chord transitions, as your fingers need time to build calluses and muscle memory. Compared to learning alone, working with a qualified teacher leads to much faster progress through personalized feedback, structured learning progression, and maintaining motivation – they'll catch bad habits early and adapt lessons to your learning style, helping you advance in a fraction of the time it would take to self-teach.
Finding the right guitar teacher near you who matches your skill level and fits your budget can be time-consuming. Starting your guitar playing journey with a great teacher will make all the difference in your progress.
Using Til, you can easily find the perfect guitar teacher for your playing level and preferred style. Whether you're a complete beginner, intermediate, or an advanced player, Til helps students connect with the world's best teachers. All lessons are hosted through online video chats, making the best guitar teachers conveniently available near you. Every lesson is recorded which helps when you want to go back and practice, and you'll have a private chat with your teacher where you can share playing videos, ask questions, and get feedback. Every booking made through our platform is protected by the Til Guarantee, so if you're not satisfied you'll get your money-back.
Til is transforming the way people learn guitar. We've helped thousands of aspiring musicians across the world find their perfect guitar teacher and reach their goals.
