Beginner Guitar Lessons For Adults

Skip the kids' songs and start playing the music you love! At Sage Music, we personalize every lesson to your unique goals and preferences.

Other Programs: Why Students Choose Sage Music

Many of our students come to us after feeling frustrated with other guitar learning methods. They’ve tried video courses or lessons that weren’t tailored to their needs—platforms like YouTube, Justin Guitar, Keith Urban, Fender Play, or TakeLessons.

They’ve worked with instructors who lacked proper training or relied on generic methods that didn’t deliver results. Often, they were left:

  • Struggling to improve without personalized guidance.
  • Frustrated by paying for videos and still having to teach themselves.
  • Disappointed by lessons that showed them what to play but not how to play it effectively.

This lack of progress led them to seek a better solution—and they found it with Sage Music.

Why Sage Music Stands Out

Our Arpeggio® lesson system, developed in-house, is the #1 science-backed program designed to guarantee results. Unlike other programs, we offer:

  • Personalized Lessons: Tailored to each student's unique goals and learning style.
  • Professional Instructors: Trained to deliver expert guidance for all skill levels.
  • Proven Results: A method that ensures steady progress and confidence in your playing.

Stop wasting time and money on programs that don’t work. Join Sage Music and experience the difference of a program built for real growth and success.

Types of Guitar Lessons

While they are similar, the three types of guitar are all slightly different. They require slightly different technique, and they are used for different music.  If you need help choosing the right kind of guitar for your lessons, let us know. We’ll be happy to help.

Acoustic Guitar Lessons

We offer specialized lesson on the acoustic guitar. Whether you are looking to strum some chords while you sing, play fingerstyle guitar, or learn how to play in a band, we’ll design a program for your specific needs.

There are many different styles and shapes of acoustic guitar too, so we’d be happy to help you find the right one for you.

Having the right instrument will help you make the fastest progress possible in your lessons.

Classical Guitar Lessons

We take pride in our Classical Guitar program. Sage Music's founder is a nationally recognized teacher of classical guitar, director of the acclaimed NYC Guitar Orchestra, a professor of music at a the City University of New York and has over 30 world premieres to his credit.

Under his leadership, we are able to provide you with the highest level of classical guitar training, plus additional opportunities and access to the classical guitar world. Not only will you learn solid technique, but you will learn artistry and interpretation, and everything you need to know about the business of making music on the guitar.

Electric Guitar Lessons

The electric guitar offers a whole range of opportunities and sounds that are not possible on the acoustic or classical guitar, which we find very exciting!

In your lessons at Sage Music, you will learn not only the proper technique for playing the electric guitar, but also the ensemble skills you need to play with others, how to improvise and solo, and how to set up your amps and effects to get the best possible sound and tone. We take a holistic approach to your learning of the guitar.
