Electric guitar lessons in Toronto that actually work.
No fluff. No cringe. Just you, an amazing teacher, and the music you actually want to play.
Welcoming students of all ages, from 5 through seniors.
Why Electric Guitar?
You've been thinking about it for months. Maybe years.
Play Your Heroes
That song comes on and you picture yourself playing it. The crowd going wild. The rush of nailing that solo.
Instant Power
Electric guitar gives you sounds no acoustic guitar can match. From gentle cleans to face-melting distortion.
Every Genre
Rock, metal, blues, jazz, pop - if it's electric, we can teach it. Your musical taste, your lessons.
Here's What Nobody Tells You
Most guitar teachers are stuck in the 1950s
They'll make you play "Mary Had A Little Lamb" for 6 weeks while your dreams die a slow, boring death.
Traditional methods kill motivation
Theory lectures. Endless scales. No actual songs you want to play.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need my own guitar for the first lesson?
Yes, but we will help connect you to a reliable retailer with reasonable costs that will look after you properly.
How long before I can play a full song?
This really depends on level, age, and what the song is. Once we know what that is, we'll work with you to get you there as fast as possible!
What if I don't like my teacher?
We'll match you with someone else. No charge.
Can you teach my kid's favorite video game music?
Yes. We've taught everything from Mario themes to Zelda soundtracks.
Is online instruction really as good as in-person?
Different, not worse. Many students actually prefer it, and while nothing beats being in the same room, we think we are at 95% of the experience quality, and that the gains in flexibility for you on tough scheduling, or bad weather days definitely make it a great way to learn.
What's the youngest age you'll teach?
In person we begin at 5 years old. Fully digitally we start at 6 years old. For children under 5 we have age-appropriate family classes that are amazing at getting them ready for lessons, but also school-ready in the best ways. Click here for more information.
