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.

On TutorLab, guitar tutors set their own rates and display them on their profiles before you make contact.

Who is the student? (optional)

We ask because before we introduce a tutor to an under-18 we require two unrelated references, sight of their qualifications and a verified enhanced DBS.
