Guitar Lessons for Somerville Adults, on the Red, Green or Orange Line

Updated November 10, 2026

Looking for guitar lessons in Somerville? Our studio is not in Somerville. It is at 33 West Street in Downtown Crossing, and Davis is on the Red Line, Union Square on the Green and Assembly on the Orange, and all three run to our block without a transfer. For an adult with a job, a studio on your train line often beats one that is nearer on the map and harder to reach at 6:30 PM.

From Somerville to Your Guitar Lesson

  • Davis: 7 Red Line stops to Downtown Crossing, no transfer.
  • Union Square: 6 Green Line stops to Park Street, then a short walk to West Street.
  • East Somerville, Gilman Square and Magoun Square: Green Line to Park Street, no transfer.
  • Assembly: 6 Orange Line stops to Downtown Crossing, no transfer.

Take the T. Whichever side of Somerville you are on, one of three lines gets you here without a transfer, and you will not find cheap parking downtown.

What Guitar Lessons Look Like Here

Private guitar lessons are one hour with a working Boston guitarist. Every instructor here teaches their primary instrument only, so you are not learning guitar from a pianist who also plays some.

Group guitar classes are 3 to 6 adults. Intro to Guitar is the starting point. From there the schedule runs through Pop Guitar Hits and Rock Guitar Hits, Lead Guitar, and Guitar Lab, where you bring the song you are working on.

Studio guitars and amps are provided for lessons and classes, so you can start before you own a guitar. That also means you can come straight from work without carrying one on the train.

Why Travel From Somerville

Somerville is full of people who play, used to play, or share a wall with someone who does. It has bars with stages and plenty of bands. What it does not have is somewhere an adult beginner can learn with other adults, on instruments that are already set up, several nights a week. Three different T lines from Somerville end within a few minutes of our door.

What It Costs

Start with the $100 Intro Week: a one hour private lesson, seven days of unlimited group classes and open practice time. It is a paid week, and the $100 applies toward a membership or a lesson pack if you continue. After that, memberships run $170 to $480 a month. See how much guitar lessons cost in Boston.
