George Capon Guitar Lessons
Online guitar lessons for kids (ages 10+)
Structured weekly lessons for complete beginners — built around clear goals, steady progress, and confidence on the instrument.
Who these lessons are for
These lessons are designed for kids aged 10+ who are starting from scratch (or have tried a little and feel stuck). If you're looking for calm, structured one-to-one support — rather than random YouTube learning — you're in the right place.
- Complete beginners who want a clear path
- Kids who enjoy music but need structure to stay consistent
- Parents who want weekly progress and accountability
- Suitable for both acoustic and electric guitar
How the lessons work
Lessons are taught one-to-one over Zoom. Each week we focus on a few clear priorities — solid technique, the right songs, and a simple practice plan. The aim is steady progress without feeling overwhelmed.
- Weekly slot: a fixed weekly time in my timetable
- Clear direction: what to practise, and why
- Confidence-first: steady wins that keep motivation high
- Parents kept in the loop: optional updates and guidance
Why online lessons work well for kids
Online lessons are focused, convenient, and surprisingly effective — especially for beginners. Screen-sharing makes it easy to use tabs, diagrams, and backing tracks, and parents avoid the hassle of travel.
- No travel time (easier to stay consistent)
- One-to-one attention throughout
- Simple resources and clear weekly targets
- Comfort of learning at home
What you'll need
- A guitar (acoustic or electric)
- A tuner (phone app is fine)
- Stable internet + a quiet space
- A laptop/desktop is ideal, but a tablet can work

FAQ
What age is best to start?
I recommend online lessons from around age 10, as most children can focus well enough at that stage to get the most from a one-to-one lesson. Every child is different though, so I'm always happy to discuss whether lessons would be suitable.
Do you teach complete beginners?
Yes. Many of the children I teach start completely from scratch, so they don't need any previous experience before their first lesson.
Do online guitar lessons work well for children?
Yes. Lessons are one-to-one over Zoom, so I can demonstrate things clearly, watch what your child is playing and give feedback as we go. Screen sharing also makes it easy to use tabs, chord diagrams and backing tracks during the lesson.
What if we're not sure whether online lessons will suit them?
The first lesson is completely free and is a full 30, 45 or 60-minute lesson, depending on the length you choose. It's a chance for your child to try the lesson format and get comfortable using Zoom, with no obligation to continue afterwards.
How much practice is needed?
Consistency matters much more than long practice sessions. I'll give your child clear things to work on between lessons and keep the amount realistic for their age and routine.
What style of music do you teach?
Mostly pop, rock, blues and folk. Wherever possible, lessons are built around music your child enjoys while still developing strong technique and foundations.
Do parents need to sit in during the lesson?
Not usually. Parents are very welcome to be nearby, particularly for the first lesson, but most children are comfortable working with me independently once they're settled in.
