Academic Pedigree

The teachers who cover country guitar at Musiprof come from the same strong Montreal training pool as the rest of our guitar faculty: McGill's Schulich School of Music, Université de Montréal, UQAM, Concordia and college programs like Cégep de Saint-Laurent and Collège Lionel-Groulx, with some international credentials such as Berklee.

Country guitar rewards clean fundamentals — steady right-hand timing, accurate picking, solid rhythm playing. Formally trained teachers know how to build those fundamentals systematically, then apply them to the twang, so you are not just copying licks without understanding them.

Local Presence

Because our country-capable teachers sit within the broader Montreal guitar faculty, they are based in the same neighbourhoods: the Plateau-Mont-Royal, Mile End, Villeray, Rosemont, NDG, Verdun, Saint-Henri, Ahuntsic and downtown, among others.

Lessons can happen at your home, at the teacher's studio or online — online works particularly well for a niche style, since it widens your options without a commute. Studio locations are generally easy to reach by metro.

Curated Expertise

A focused subset of our guitar faculty covers country and its neighbours: flatpicking, fingerstyle, chicken pickin', open tunings and the folk and roots repertoire that shares the same DNA. Most of these teachers also teach folk and rock, so crossover goals fit naturally.

Because country is a specialty rather than the whole bench, matching does the real work here. Tell us whether you are chasing bluegrass runs, campfire strumming or Telecaster twang, and we pair you with the vetted teacher whose playing actually lives there.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are there any hidden fees or subscriptions?

No. The price on a teacher's profile is the full price you pay — no subscriptions, no contact fees. Some teachers who are members of the GMMQ (Quebec Musicians' Guild) include a pension surcharge, but this is always included in the displayed price. You are only charged when a lesson is confirmed by your teacher.

Do you offer in-person lessons near me?

Yes — Musiprof primarily connects you with teachers near you for in-person lessons at home or in studio. Online lessons are also available. Beyond private lessons, we offer a band program and community recitals for a complete musical experience.

What happens after I purchase?

The teacher will contact you within 24–48 hours to schedule your first lesson. If there's no contact within that window, Musiprof follows up on your behalf.

What is the refund policy?

You only pay for lessons taken. We refund untaken lessons minus a small cancellation fee (the lesser of $50 or 10% of the remaining value).

How frequently do lessons unfold?

By default, lessons are designed to be taken once per week to help you maintain consistency and momentum. A 5-lesson package, for example, is intended to be completed in 5 consecutive weeks. However, we understand that every student's goals are unique. If your teacher agrees, lessons can be scheduled at a different frequency (e.g., every 2 weeks or once per month). Please discuss your preferred schedule with your teacher during your first contact. Your package includes a 30-day grace period after your last scheduled session. If you are doing bi-weekly lessons, ask your teacher to extend your session dates in the system to ensure your file remains active.

Is there a Satisfaction Guarantee?

Yes! We want you to find the perfect match. If your first session isn't right, contact us within 48 hours. We'll credit 50% of the lesson cost back to your account so you can try a different teacher immediately.

Why should I pay through Musiprof instead of paying my teacher directly?

Paying through Musiprof is what keeps you protected — the Satisfaction Guarantee, refunds, and dispute support only apply to payments made on the platform. Paying a teacher directly (cash, e-transfer) voids those protections, and we can't help if something goes wrong. If a teacher ever asks you to pay outside Musiprof, please let us know.

Is Musiprof like a music school with semesters?

No. Musiprof has no semesters, terms or registration deadlines. You start with a single first lesson, covered by our Satisfaction Guarantee. After that, you continue at your own pace: buy a package of lessons or pay lesson by lesson. Unused lessons are refundable, and you can switch teachers at any time.

Do I have to buy a package?

No. After your first lesson, you can buy a package (usually a better price per lesson) or pay à la carte, where your card is charged after each completed lesson. Each teacher sets their own prices and lesson formats (in studio, at home or online), so check their profile for the details.

More about guitar lessons

Do I need an acoustic or an electric guitar for country lessons?
Either works, and it depends on the country you love. Acoustic suits flatpicking, folk and bluegrass-leaning playing; a Telecaster-style electric suits chicken pickin' and modern country lead. Start with whichever guitar you own — your teacher will adapt and advise before you buy anything.
Will I learn from tabs or do I need to read music and theory?
Country teaching leans heavily on tabs, chord charts and playing by ear, so you do not need to read standard notation. That said, a little practical theory — the Nashville number system, chord relationships — makes you a far better jammer, and our teachers weave it in painlessly.
Can I learn specific techniques like chicken pickin' or open tunings?
Yes, that is exactly what this subset of our faculty covers: flatpicking, fingerstyle, hybrid and chicken pickin', open tunings and twang-style bends. Name the technique or the player you want to sound like, and lessons get built around it.
How do you make sure I get a teacher who really plays country?
Matching is the point of Musiprof. Country is a specialty within our guitar faculty, so we look at what each teacher genuinely plays and pair you accordingly rather than sending you to a generalist. Matching is free, and if the fit is off, we rematch you.
