What does an electric guitar lesson cover?

Lead and rhythm playing for the styles the student wants to play, plus practical skills such as amp settings, pickup selection, effects pedals, differences between guitar models (Strat, Tele, Les Paul, SG), and how to dial in tones for different genres.

Is bass guitar different from electric guitar lessons?

Yes — bass has its own technique (fingerstyle, slap, pick), repertoire, and role in a band as the rhythm-section anchor rather than melodic lead. Bass students often progress quickly due to a gentler early learning curve and high demand in bands.

What gear do I need at home?

An electric guitar or bass, a basic practice amp (10–25W is enough), a cable, and a tuner. Starter setups under $300 are typically sufficient, and recommendations can be provided during lessons.

Will I get to play in a band?

Talk to your teacher about ensemble opportunities — CFMA students often connect for informal band play, and teachers may organize jam sessions when possible.

Guitar Lessons Overview

We get it! For you, there's only one true Guitar--and that's the electric guitar. We can't blame you for loving the "Rock Guitar," as it's sometimes called. The electric guitar comes to life when you plug it into an amplifier and sound system. Then whole new sound worlds open up.

The electric guitar is incredibly important in a band, where it functions both as a rhythm guitar setting the beats and playing chord progressions, and as a lead guitar performing the main melodies of the music.

Although elements of construction vary greatly, electric guitars are typically solid-body guitars with a body made of hardwood with a polymer finish. To produce sound, the electric guitar depends on electric pickups, an amplifier, and a speaker. Special sound effects of the electric guitar include vibrato, reverb, distortion, and overdrive, which are achieved through effects pedals.

You can go crazy with this stuff, which is why the electric guitar is so much fun to play!

Bass Guitar Lessons

The bass guitar is the lowest sounding member of the electric guitar family. It differs from the regular electric guitar in that it has a longer neck and scale and typically 4 to 6 strings. If you like those deep, deep guitar sounds in a band, the bass guitar is for you.

Have you ever watched bass players in a band? Cool as a cucumber, barely moving, while the flashy lead guitarist goes crazy with solos and stage movements to match.

Which type are YOU? We need both!
