If you wanted to take lessons in the old days, you were limited to the instructors and venues that happened to be in your area. Despite the numerous benefits of live instruction for playing an instrument, especially when it comes to form, it can be difficult to fit in lessons. Our lives are busier than ever and keeping up with the commitments to attend lessons and practice on your own pose a challenge.
Fender has been around for over 70 years and they never lost their focus on innovation and problem-solving for musicians of all calibers. With Fender Play, you don't have to be restricted to just one location to stay consistent with your lessons. So long as you have your instrument and an Android phone, iPhone, or iPad with the Fender Play app installed, practicing and going to your next lesson is done in just a few swipes from the comfort of your own home or practice space.
Practice Made Meaningful
Making time to practice requires time and self-discipline. But one of the foremost challenges that comes with practicing is that there's always that one chord or maneuver you're having trouble with which makes you feel unprepared for your next lesson, or you don't know just how much you're improving without a professional ear to tell you so. It can make you end up putting off practice as a result and not get as much out of the ensuing lessons.
The Fender Play app has an interface designed to keep you motivated. Not only can you practice at your own pace and specifically go over techniques you need extra help with, but there's also a community of other musicians you can reach out to in addition to your instructor you'll interact with in real time for step-by-step guidance.
Cost-Effective Guitar Lessons That Don't Compromise on Quality Professional Instruction
The cost of guitar lessons varies based on where you live, the instructor's experience and prestige, and if you're being taught in a studio or they're coming to your home. But on average, it's about $25-40 per hour. This definitely adds up quickly if you're taking weekly lessons. Lessons are an important investment and if you're serious about improving your skills as a guitarist, the cost might not be that off-putting. But for budget-conscious players, the Fender Play subscription fee for the whole month is a fraction of the cost of just one live lesson.
