Jason and Henry are the best. Henry is awesome with young players. I enjoyed our sessions. If you are looking for great instruction this is the place. read more

My daughter has been with Guitar Ninjas for four years and is growing leaps and bounds as a guitarist. The commitment, attention to detail, and consistent efforts made by her instructors to help her succeed are difference makers in her growth as a musician and guitarist . read more

The Guitar Ninjas has the coolest vibes for your child to be at and learn guitar. My daughter Emma loves the place and her teacher Trevor.

I brought my young boys to learn for the past year and I every time I'm there I always feel welcomed. The owner, Jason, always has a smile on his face and is very engaging. During the lock down he encouraged my two boys to join extra classes that he taught each week. We only got to attend one recital since we've been coming. My boys have been with Andrew since they started In 2019. He is very patient with them. Even though my first son isn't very talkative Andrew managed to get past his shyness. read more

Guitar Class? You might say, "What's the difference?" When you sign up your child for music lessons you can sit there and assess the chemistry between the instructor and your child. This is exactly what we did as we went through a lot of violin tutors for our daughter. When it came time to get our son into guitar lessons we tried a few places. We gave Guitar Ninja's (https://www.hollywoodguitarlesson.com/) a chance and I knew the practice portal for students was a game changer. Having Jason lead a video instruction was like having a daily personal lesson (a cost prohibitive scenario if we had to do it in person). We were sold. Then when our son got to Fly Away, it got harder and he got frustrated. We had spent a week on the starter video for this song and I encouraged him to try the next video. He fought me but eventually acquiesced. Jason's video began with words of encouragement and a message of understanding that the finger work was getting more difficult and Jason empathized with the students as they might be getting frustrated. I was blown away. The level of expertise that this showed us was the price of admission for sure. Our son talks about Jason to his instructor, Lorenzo, as if he meets with him daily (because they do!). This is an amazing facet of the class and while it might be copied, Jason's experience & empathy cannot be matched. read more

See all

A great program for anyone looking for an affordable, structured weekly lesson plan to understand and improve upon guitar quickly. All the teachers I've had have been super friendly, too. Booking is also easy and the app that comes with the course is a perfect companion and works well. read more

I picked up a guitar for the first time at 49 years old, and I can't believe how good I've gotten. Sid has been my teacher for the last three years and has helped me achieve a level of playing that I never thought was possible. Total mindset shift! Sydney has been my daughter's teacher and is just the best. Sydney even trained and accompanied our daughter for her first-ever live performance in front of an audience of 100 people at her Bat Mitzvah! read more

I've had great results learning both instrument. I gotta tell you, Jason Land has created a revolutionary method of teaching guitar. It is hands down the best way for children and adults to become proficient players and real musicians in the shortest amount of time The amazing thing is Jason cuts no corners trying to teach skills quickly.

The other So if you want to learn guitar, or you have kids, friends who want to learn guitar, go to Guitar Ninjas!!! read more

There is so much I could say about Guitar Ninjas but gonna keep this short. My son wanted a few months of lessons and was GN for more than two years. From the first meeting with the owner, Jason to weekly lessons with Mike to monthly prices/billing, we have been 100% satisfied with the program, the people the atmosphere, EVERYTHING. They had online choices before the pandemic - so ahead of the game. If you LOVE music this should be your people. read more

I've taken lessons at Guitar Ninjas for 4 years now and absolutely LOVE IT! The system is engineered for success in a way that I've not really seen from another music education center. It all starts with the online practice portal. I've taken piano lessons in the past where I'd have the lesson and then forget parts of what was taught. At Guitar Ninjas, you can actually go on the portal and watch the lesson as many times as you want (HUGE for practice!!), practice the song at different speeds, and learn valuable techniques along the way. The portal is also your go-to spot for rescheduling lessons (all done online through just a few clicks). Additionally, email blasts are sent out regularly with info on special events, contests, and additional workshops you can take, often included in your regular lesson price or at a minimal additional charge. Next, let's talk structure. The school is set up like a karate dojo where you learn songs and earn colored picks along the way. As someone who LOVES games, the Guitar Ninjas experience has literally gameified learning guitar in a way that makes it impossible NOT to feel motivated! Each song has been carefully selected to not only be fun and likely one you'd want to learn in the first place, but also teach you a valuable technique or lesson that you can then take with you for future jams. Last but certainly not least, Guitar Ninjas is great because of the amazing instructors. I've had the pleasure of taking lessons from Sid, who has a great energy and goes above and beyond to make sure you're not just learning the songs but also gaining supplemental skills that will help you tackle challenges outside the course as well. I also have had some makeup lessons with Mauricio, who is an absolute joy as well! When I look back on my past 4 years with Guitar Ninjas, it's pretty surreal reflecting on the amount I've been able to learn, going from knowing 3 chords to pulling out full on solos from Jimi Hendrix no less! I'm so grateful to Guitar Ninjas for helping me every step of the way and can't recommend this place enough! read more

Our son has grown so much musically after starting just a couple months ago. Make sure to use their online lessons too

I bought a guitar during quarantine and decided I wanted to learn how to play it and heard so many people learned with YouTube sessions - so that's where I started. I never played any instrument and the YouTube lessons were very overwhelming and I didn't progress much. I was a bit frustrated, I didn't realize how hard it is to play the guitar! The artists make it look so easy. Then my boss referred me to Guitar ninjas and I've been taking classes for about 1 year now and I can actually play quite a few songs! The crazy thing is that I have never been to the studio, I do all my classes online since I live in Long Beach. The program is very structured and build an awesome foundation for fellas like me that started later in life! I am in my middle 30s and wish I had started earlier. My teach Adrian is so patient and encouraging and I look forward to my classes every week and feel very bummed when I can't make it. I highly recommend this studio! read more

I can't say enough about Guitar Ninjas and Jason Land! His teaching and his business, truly rock! Our daughter has been taking lessons for about 4 1/2 years and she looks forward to every week. Jason has created an awesome program and can really relate to kids...and adults too! He is so hardworking and constantly does things to make his program even better. Our daughter has been inspired and motivated by him so much, I never have to ask her to practice- she just jams all the time, on her own! I highly recommend Guitar Ninjas, were are so happy we found this place! read more

Awesome. Just right for all skill levels, including my newbie nine year old. Perfect and starts with songs you love. Great place.

I've been through tons of music lessons throughout my life and nothing compares to GN. Unparalleled care, groundbreaking learning system, and a true sense of belonging to a special group. If you want to suck at your instrument go the school of rock or guitar center where they don't give a crap about you or their own teachers. If you want to get good go to GN!! read more

As a mom of three kids who has never fulfilled her dream of playing guitar until now, I can say that I LOVE Guitar Ninjas. My kids started taking lessons here and I was so jealous that I started, too. I have worked with several of the instructors there and I have wonderful things to say about all of them. It's a low pressure environment with a high expectation for progress, so it's a perfect combination. The space is super-clean and very comfortable to be in. Parking is never an issue. My 30 minute lessons are packed from the first minute to the last with highly focused, personal instruction. The online portal is amazing for practicing on my own, I can play along with the instructor in my own home (and at various speeds which is KEY). Jason has really nailed this customized program and I HIGHLY recommend it whether it's for a kid or an adult. read more

I have been wanting to learn to play guitar for years and when the opportunity came to give them a try with Hollywood Guitar Lessons, I finally just made the commitment. Jason is absolutely the best instructor I could have asked for as a beginning student. I can certainly see how his specific curriculum would benefit any beginning student, no matter their age. Jason does not waste any time of the lesson and before you know it, time is up! He provides an extremely user friendly way to get you your lesson videos and music to study and play along with all week long (or at least until your next lesson). I am excited to continue learning the guitar and actually can't wait until my kids can start to as well! For the time being, it's mommy's turn. You won't find this beginning curriculum anywhere else. This is a unique, extremely well planned instruction to guitar. And what's really awesome for kids and adults alike with Jason at HGL, is the Guitar Ninja program!! You work every level to earn your "black pick!" Hollywood Guitar is heavily involved in the local school programs as well. Jason is dedicated to teaching. I could not recommend Hollywood Guitar Lessons more...I'm having a blast and learning quickly. They also provide drum and vocal lessons if you didn't know, fyi. Don't bother going anywhere else for lessons...call Jason. read more

Guitar Ninjas - I'm not going to stop until I learn to play this thing. - Musical Instruments & Teachers Near Me - Burbank, California

Great Teacher! Great attitude! Jason inspires my son with the love of music. My son takes private and group lessons with Jason and he likes going to his classes. read more

Hollywood Guitar Lessons has been an amazing experience for our son! Our son has been working with Jason for a few years now (since he was 8 years old) and has developed not only fantastic guitar skills but has learned that the guitar can be an important part of his life. A terrific way to unwind and relax. He picks it up for the joy it brings him personally. Who couldn't use a little more of that?? We are happy that in the tough upcoming teenage years he will have music both as a common ground when socializing and a meaningful way of finding personal space. read more

Jason is amazing .. my son (10yrs) has been working with Jason for 5 months now. We started in a school program and decided he would benefit from private lessons. You can see his passion and dedication when he works with the kids. I will recommend Jason to anyone who wants to learn guitar! read more

Very professional and responds to messages quickly. My husband ended up taking the lesson since my son was too shy. My husband was very impressed with the instructor and enjoyed their method of teaching. They were pressure free and very understanding about my son's shyness. read more

Our school PTA decided to fund an in-school program to allow our students exposure to music that they may not otherwise get, and we found Jason. To say the program was a resounding success would be an understatement. I was able to watch Jason and his vocal partner, Devon (I hope that's right!!) interact and teach our kids and was moved to tears. It was amazingly beautiful to see such joy on EVERYONE'S face, from Jason and Devon to every child and the teachers, who couldn't stop smiling, either. Every other review here that calls Jason a gift is spot-on, he is a gift and amazingly talented, and I recommend him and his services as highly as possible! Thank you, Jason, for the amazing experience you gave our children, I am sure they won't soon forget! read more

My 8 year old son and I have been taking guitar lessons here for a couple months and we love it. Jason is always so accommodating and our instructor Sid is very positive. We find the place very reasonably priced and love that there is an online component so that we can practice at home easier. Highly recommend!! read more

Jason Land is not only an amazing teacher and talented musician, but a great person. I have a special needs teenage granddaughter who wanted a guitar and lessons for her 13th birthday. I was hesitant to spend the money, because she has a tendency to lose interest very quickly. This was not the case with her guitar lessons. She has taken lessons for almost a year and I am amazed at her ability.to learn so quickly. Jason is one of those people who has a gift. He is dedicated to his students and you can tell he loves what he does. His approach to teaching is unique. His students have such a respect for him and what he is trying to teach them. It has been a such a joy to sit in on his lessons and watch him do his magic with the kids. My Granddaughter has never wanted to perform. She is very self conscious and insecure, but when Jason set up a concert, she not only went on stage but she was great, and I think she was surprised that she had such a good time. I wish we had more teachers in the world like Jason. I can't praise him enough. He is a star, and if I could I would give him 10 stars. Elaine L. 8/7/2014. read more

It doesn't get better than this. Professional, motivating and patient! My son had been in lessons with Jason for 3 years beginning at 8. From moment one we felt comfortable with Jason and his ever so positive teaching style. Would highly recommend his studio . You will not be disappointed. read more

I have had lessons for about 4 months and I have had the greatest time learning guitar. I have never met another guitar teacher who is as enthusiastic and who can make a thorough learning experience that also is so much fun as Jason. He has gone above and beyond for his students. For example he got a gig for his students including me to play at a fair with an amazing band to make us shine. I would recommend Hollywood Guitar lessons for anyone who wants to learn guitar in a fun way read more

My daughter took an 8 week group lesson course and she was comfortable and happy with the class. I sat in on most of the lessons and was impressed with his teaching style and ability. His method teaches strong musicianship emphasizing timing and finger skills and he teaches them using songs they can play along with when practicing at different tempos. I play guitar and was mostly self taught... watching him teach made we wish I had started with the foundation that he has given to my daughter. If I can afford it in the future I will probably take some lessons from him as well and I'm an intermediate player. read more

Jason has an excellent teaching curriculum. The songs that he chooses help develop proper fundamentals and skills that will make you a good guitar player. Within his Ninja program, each song that he chooses emphasizes a particular skill or transition that are further strengthened as you progress through the program. I would highly recommend Jason and his HGL program for anyone that wants to play proper guitar. read more
