Guitar lessons in
The Hague.
Alongside drum lessons we now teach guitar too, electric and acoustic. At the weekend, with one fixed lesson time a week in Loosduinen: Saturday in Studio 13, Sunday in Studio 14. The same approach as our drum lessons: personal, calm and without pressure to perform. From lesson one you play real songs.
Who are guitar lessons for?
Children
Learning to play songs, chords, a first riff. In the trial lesson we check whether the guitar already fits and whether this is a good moment to start.
Adults
Always wanted to play guitar, or ready to get the old one down from the attic? You are soon playing along with songs you know.
Drummers
Students of the drum school who want to add an instrument. Once you understand chords and melody, you start drumming differently too.
Lessons with Guus van Diemen.
Guus van Diemen is a multi-instrumentalist, producer and artist. He started on trombone at the age of nine in the VHJO youth orchestra and soon became its first trombonist. As a teenager he discovered rock and jazz, and played bass and sang in several progressive bands from The Hague. As a producer and bassist he has worked with well-known names from the Hague scene.
His lessons are all about doing. Making music is about having fun and getting better by playing. He also values a broad grasp of music theory, and the story behind the music: why a song works the way it does.

Frequently asked questions about guitar lessons.
Electric or acoustic guitar?
Either is fine. There is an electric and an acoustic lesson guitar in the studio, so in the trial lesson you can simply try what you enjoy most. Many students start on acoustic for songs and chords, and add electric later for rock and solos.
Do I need my own guitar?
Not for the lesson: a lesson guitar, a Fender amp and a tuner are ready in the studio. To practise at home you do need your own guitar. Guus is happy to advise you on buying one, and a second-hand guitar is often perfectly fine. If you already have one, feel free to bring it along.
From what age can my child take guitar lessons?
Usually from around age 8, depending on hand size and concentration. In the free trial lesson we check together whether this is a good moment to start.
What do guitar lessons cost?
Exactly the same as drum lessons: a fixed monthly fee for weekly or bi-weekly lessons of 30, 45 or 60 minutes. VAT-free under 21. The first lesson is a free 30-minute trial. The full price list is on the pricing page.
When are guitar lessons?
At the weekend from 12:00 to 18:00: Saturday in Studio 13, Sunday in Studio 14, at HPC Loosduinen. Places are limited. When booking the trial lesson you see straight away which times are still free.
Ready for your first guitar lesson?
