Online guitar lessons

Now taking students

One-on-one guitar lessons over video, for students 11 and up and adults — including people who have never held a guitar.

Acoustic or electric, and built around the music you actually want to play rather than a fixed syllabus. Complete beginners are genuinely welcome, and so is anyone picking the guitar back up after years in a cupboard.

Who are the lessons for?

The studio teaches ages 11 and up. Online lessons ask a lot of a young student's focus, and younger beginners do better in person.

We read every note ourselves. No newsletter signup, no spam, and no obligation on either side.

Ahren Haedrich

Ahren started playing music at three, beginning on violin and later piano and guitar. He played in the California All-State Orchestra in high school before going on to study music at the University of British Columbia, and he also holds a degree in audio recording and sound engineering from Recording Arts Canada in Montreal.

For the last twenty years he has focused on guitar, playing and performing blues, rock, folk and bluegrass, both solo and with a collection of bands across Northern California.

That range is the useful part. A student who arrives wanting to play bluegrass and leaves wanting to play blues doesn't need to find a different teacher.

What you'll needLess than you'd think

Getting set up

A guitar, somewhere to sit, and a device with a camera. That's genuinely it to start.

If you don't own an instrument yet, don't buy one before the first lesson. Ahren would rather talk to you first — an acoustic and an electric suit different players, sizes matter for younger students, and the cheapest guitar in the shop is usually a false economy because it won't stay in tune. Ask, then buy.
