Why electric guitar?
The most expressive instrument alive
Bend notes, shape your tone, play anything from blues to metal to indie pop.
Electric guitar rewards beginners fast: power chords come together in your first lesson, and most students are playing recognizable riffs within a few weeks. Effects, amp tone, and technique let you shape a completely personal sound across rock, blues, jazz, and pop. Curious about other options? See the full list of instruments we teach in Toronto.
Getting started
What you'll need to get started
A starter setup is less than you think. If you’d rather start with an instrument that needs no amp, acoustic guitar lessons in Toronto are a natural alternative.
Common concerns
“But I’m not sure about electric guitar…”
We hear these a lot. Here’s the real story.
“I need an amp and it'll be too loud.”
A mini practice amp or headphone amp costs under $80 and produces zero noise for neighbours. We'll help you choose one.
“Chords look impossible.”
You start with 2–3 open chords. That's enough to play hundreds of songs. The rest comes naturally over weeks, not years.
“Electric guitar is only for rock.”
Every genre uses it — jazz, blues, pop, country, funk. Your teacher will build a repertoire around what you actually want to play.
“I don't have natural talent.”
Electric guitar is learned, not born. Consistent short practice sessions beat occasional long ones every time. Your teacher designs for that.
Still not sure? That’s what the trial is for.
Bring your doubts, your questions, your hesitations. $20. 30 minutes. We’ll take it from there.

What Parents and Students Say
ABC has provided my three children more than a top quality musical education. The committed, kind, and talented instructors have contributed to their development as people.
My son Owen is excelling as a bass guitarist thanks to the instruction at ABC. We really appreciate the professionalism of the teachers and the hands-on management of the school. It’s clear that the director truly cares about each student’s success.
ABC has given my daughter Natina so much confidence performing in front of an audience. The director, instructors, and office staff are so positive. I highly recommend ABC to anyone, young or “older” when wanting to learn music.
My son began guitar lessons at the age of 5, with all the attention span one might expect of a 5-year old. I’ve been so impressed with the patience and good humour his teachers have displayed! Now 7, Simon loves playing music, especially at recitals, and I am a very proud mum :)
We wanted to expose our son to music and what we got from ABC is a highly educated teacher who is teaching our son to aim higher, be confident, and play beautiful music. Our son loves the school.
Along with teaching her the discipline required to play an instrument, ABC has provided her with an atmosphere in which she has discovered an infinite joy and appreciation of music. By joining the Rock Band program this year, she has also learned to appreciate the importance of working, in harmony, with others. Most of all, ABC is a FUN place to learn. Many thanks to the teachers and staff.
I’m 38 years old and I just started playing trumpet last summer. I’ve been studying with ABC the whole time and I have learned a ton, and had a great time doing it. My teacher is great and makes sure I work hard. Thanks to my teacher, ABC and the gang for making ABC such a welcoming place for an old dog like me to learn a new trick.
I take Vocal and Piano lessons with different teachers and I’ve learned so much. All the teachers are nice to me as they’ve gotten to know me, and they always encourage me to learn new things.
