FLEXIBLE
Hey, if you're starting from zero - like holding a guitar for the first time - then Guitar Kickstart is perfect. We include our primer course (Guitar Headstart) to walk you through the absolute basics step by step . No prior knowledge needed and plenty of support available. You will have played your first riff by the end of your first week.
Many of our best students started as complete beginners. Having a clean slate is actually a big advantage - no bad habits to unlearn!
Like thousands of aspiring guitarists (back in the 80s -yikes!) I too felt the isolation between lessons - frustration building and questions piling up for next week. Not to mention a bunch of theory and sight reading with barely a song in sight. That time continues to shape my teaching philosophy to this day.
When The Guitar Dojo was founded in 2018, I created a hybrid approach: personal guidance meets smart tech. Private lessons with a gamified app for content and messaging, interactive tabs and real time support. Just a year later TechGuide Australia referenced us in "Learning Guitar Made Easier."
When COVID hit, our fledgling school had to close its doors just as it was getting started. We didn't quite realise it at the time but our hybrid philosophy meant that we had the tools in place to pivot online – retaining 90%+ of our students over 2 years in Melbourne (the world's most locked down city.) This success planted the seeds of what would become Guitar Kickstart.
We also kept hearing from busy professionals like you: eager for lessons but blocked by rigid schedules, high costs, or life in general. Those conversations added fuel to our vision for the ultimate guitar learning ecosystem.
In 2026, after years of development ,many thousands of lessons and hundreds of successful students, Guitar Kickstart was born. Our proven approach delivering real support and interactive tools to the "time poor" majority that traditional methods overlook. Flexible. Affordable. Tailored to your busy life.
– Brent Lyons, Founder CEO & Lead Guitar Teacher (Melbourne, Australia).
