Electric guitar

Languages of instruction: German, English

The rise of the electric guitar began in the 1930s. As acoustic guitars were unable to assert themselves against wind instruments and piano in big bands, the search began for a way to amplify the sound. Electrically amplified guitars were first used in the country, jazz and blues genres and then had a lasting impact on pop and rock music. Countless milestones in music history would be inconceivable without the sound of the electric guitar. Over the decades, the electric guitar has produced numerous icons such as Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, Mark Knopfler and Jimmy Page. To this day, the fascination with the instrument has not waned and motivates hundreds of thousands of people to do the same as their idols. The path to forming a band with friends is then often not far away.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do you offer electric guitar lessons for children?

    Naturally! Children and young people learn intuitively and playfully. We emphasise the joy of trying things out and discovering new things. Even in the first few lessons, children of all ages can learn notes on the electric guitar by plucking a string, which they can then use to accompany selected songs. A quick sense of achievement is guaranteed!

    Our professional teachers are all trained in music education and incorporate technique and theory into the lessons in a child-orientated and didactically sensible way. Even if your child is still young but really wants to play the electric guitar, our teachers will be happy to help you choose the right instrument.

    You can start directly if your child has already decided which instrument they would like to play or if they already have some prior knowledge. If your child is still undecided, we recommend attending the Instrument carousels.

  • Are there electric guitar lessons for adults?

    Did you learn to play the electric guitar as a child and then stop at some point? Or have you always wanted to learn to play the electric guitar? No matter whether you want to learn a specific piece on the electric guitar or simply fulfil your long-awaited dream of playing in a band: We personalise our lessons according to your previous knowledge and interests.

    If, for professional or family reasons, you would prefer to come to lessons at longer intervals rather than weekly, we also have a solution for this: Our Prepaid cards. Talk to your teacher or ask our friendly colleagues in the office for more information.

    We also offer lessons online so that you can pursue your hobby from the comfort of your own home.

  • Can I learn to play the electric guitar with you as a beginner?

    Even if you have no previous knowledge, that's no problem! Getting started on the electric guitar for beginners depends on your musical goals. Power chords enable a quick sense of achievement, as the hand position on the instrument only needs to be shifted.

    We pay attention to correct hand position and solid finger technique, but we won't drill you until you don't feel like it anymore. With us, you'll be making music from the very first lesson! Even simple, first pieces can be fun.

  • Do you also teach advanced students?

    Do you already have basic technical skills on the electric guitar and need new input? Then you've come to the right place! In our electric guitar lessons, we will support you individually, depending on your skills and requirements - regardless of whether your focus is on jazz and improvisation or rock and pop.
