How much do guitar lessons cost in the UK?

Guitar lessons in the UK typically cost between £25 and £55 per hour. The price depends on the tutor's experience, the style of guitar being taught and whether sessions are online or in-person.

As a rough guide:

  • Beginner guitar lessons: £25–£40/hr
  • Intermediate lessons (working towards Rockschool or ABRSM grades): £30–£50/hr
  • Advanced / specialist lessons (jazz, classical, session work): £40–£55/hr

Most tutors offer 30-minute sessions for younger children at a proportionally lower rate. Online guitar lessons are increasingly popular and are usually priced similarly to in-person sessions. Classical guitar tutors — who often have conservatoire training — tend to charge towards the higher end.
