Guitar Lessons in Hilo
You walk in past walls of guitars every lesson. That is not a bad way to stay motivated. Whether you are picking up a guitar for the first time or coming back after years away, we will connect you with a local teacher who meets you where you are and gets you playing the music you actually want to play.
Acoustic or electric, kanikapila strummer or future shredder, the path is the same: real songs, real technique, and a teacher in the room with you. Lessons happen right here at the shop on Kilauea Ave, so strings, picks, capos and honest advice are always a few steps away.
No guitar yet? No problem. Come in and we will help you find one that fits your hands and your budget, new or used.
What you'll learn
On the guitar setlist
