Welcome to Live Online Guitar Lessons

At Chris O’Leary Online Guitar Lessons you can learn classical, rock, pop and folk guitar with Chris O’Leary who will give you the skills you need to develop in the instrument, progress through Rockschool grades, or play songs you have always wanted to play.

The Benefits of Online Guitar Lessons

Online music lessons are growing in popularity because the equipment and technology (listed below) required is now in most homes and it’s such a convenient approach.  Broadband internet technology allows you to easily take lessons at home with no travelling, and all booking and scheduling is done online to be simple and easy for pupils to manage.  You can read about my experience and excellent references everywhere online and you can be sure that my music school delivers high-quality lessons, that is the major principle of the school. It is not always easy to find teachers nearby for specific instruments, so online tuition offers fantastic opportunities to learn the instrument you really want to learn.

Rated as one of the highest quality music teachers from across the UK to ensure we give the best music lessons possible. And taking lessons from Chris O’Leary Lessons means you don’t need to travel to find me, you receive your music lesson in your home, your place of work or at your school. My lessons particularly suit those who live in remote places, pupils/parents who prefer not to travel out for music lessons, home tutored children, schools who are short of specialist music teachers and people of all ages and abilities who simply like my style of teaching.

All you need is a good quality internet, a computer or tablet, a quiet lesson space, a musical instrument and a desire to learn to play it.

You see on my website how I work with children (and parents) to keep them safe online. You also see my ‘Google’ reviews and lesson costs which reflect the quality of the teacher providing the lessons. If you would like to take a trial taster lesson to see how it works please register here, there is no cost or obligation. (I am delighted to say that over half those who take a trial lesson with me, once they have seen me at work, book future music lessons with me.) Get in touch, I am here to help you.

Taster lessons are free and last 40 minutes, then if you wish to continue introductory packages start at £36 for 3 x 30 minute lessons.  Click below to leave your details and I’ll be in touch.

Essential Equipment

For my way of teaching, you will need a good broadband internet connection speed more than 2 Mbps upload and download. 

Use the site below to test your internet speed and let us know during the taster lesson. 

Test connection

You will need a laptop or a large screen tablet that has a built-in webcam.  The computer device will need to be positioned next to your instrument to enable the teacher to see your upper body and fingers on the instrument.  Tablets may need a special clamp to enable positioning. 

Alternatively, you will need a computer with a separate webcam/microphone and speakers/headphones.

For guitar lessons, you will need an acoustic guitar that has recently been tuned or an electric guitar with an amplifier near to the computer for the sound to be picked up by Zoom or Skype.  All other instruments should be warmed up ready for the lesson.
