Can I pay ahead for several lessons?

Do I need a guitar to start?
The short answer is yes. You will need to work on the assignments given by your instructor with your guitar. However, it is possible to do an introductory lesson without a guitar.
Do you recommend acoustic or electric guitar to start off with?
There is a myth that acoustic guitar is easier to play; this is absolutely NOT TRUE. An electric guitar has smaller/thinner strings that are easier to get sound out of, and the string height is almost always lower, enabling easier fretting. Outside of that, we suggest getting a guitar that is close to the music that you want to play. For example, if you are playing heavy metal, an electric guitar would be appropriate; for folk and acountis guitar.
What do I need for my first lesson?
Bring your guitar and any other materials you have been studying. You DON’T need to bring an amp or cable as we have them here.
Can I meet the instructor prior to signing up for lessons?
We encourage people to take one half-hour introductory lesson for $22 to see if they like the format. This gives the student an idea of what they can expect.
Can I stop by and meet the instructors?
Unfortunately, we are working with other students almost all of the time we are here so we can't stop a lesson to meet with someone. Feel free to call or email with any questions or check out these clips of our instructors.

Do you teach during the summer?
Yes. We are open year round.
Do you rent guitars?
As of now, no. There hasn’t been any real demand for it. The good news is guitar starter packs are pretty cheap and retain their value pretty well. So if you find that you don’t stick with it, you will be able to get most of your money back by selling it.
Where do you recommend purchasing guitar packs and accessories?
We sell metronomes, tuners, strings, and other guitar accessories here at North Main. For guitar starter packs, I recommend Guitar Center on DW Highway in Nashua, they have great stock and helpful salespeople.
Do you charge a registration fee?
NO!
There are no hidden fees other than your normal lesson fee?
NO!
What are your hours?
Monday-Thursday 11:00am- 9:30pm, Saturday 10:00-5:30. We are closed Friday and Sunday.
