- How is Zap Guitar different from other online lesson sites?
With Zap Guitar's unique new concept in guitar instruction, students have no guesswork. Courses are designed with a sequential set of lessons, offered in a logical order. Each lesson builds upon the previous lesson, until you have mastered the course and are ready for the next.

- What if I'm not a beginning player? Is Zap Guitar right for me?
Absolutely! There's a Zap course for any level, with lessons to challenge you and improve your playing. Our instructors are professional players at the cutting edge in terms of style and technology, so you get the best lessons possible in virtually all musical styles (rock, blues, country, jazz, metal, funk, finger picking, etc). So if you've been wanting to riff like Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Slash, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Steve Morse, Albert Lee, Scott Henderson, Steve Trovato, Frank Gambale, Nuno Bettencourt, Eddie Van Halen, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jimi Hendrix, or Robben Ford, you've come to the right place!

- I'm really a beginner. Can I master Zap Guitar lessons if I've never played?
Yes! Zap Guitar gives you instant access to a step-by-step beginner's course, which will guide you through the basics. After that, you can choose from a range of playing styles such as rock, blues, classical, country, and more.

- Is Zap Guitar a substitute for private lessons?
There is no substitute for one-on-one private instruction, especially if you've never played before. However, if restraints on time or money make it difficult to keep up with private lessons, Zap Guitar's stand-alone lessons are extremely effective and self-explanatory. You'll find a detailed performance section to guide you from start to finish, and an objective explaining what you will learn.

- What if I don't find a lesson for what I want to learn?
We make every effort to cover all styles and techniques. But if there's a song or style you don't find, let us know. We'll create the lesson and post it!

- Who writes Zap Guitar lessons?
All Zap Guitar content is written by professional working guitarists and overseen by world-class guitarist and educator Steve Trovato. Steve has made sure the layout for lessons and courses is both logical and intuitive, in a series format that builds skills naturally. Students are free to roam through the lessons, choosing those that appeal to their unique goals, or to study lessons in their logical order. Each course is set up so that you complete the instruction step by step, eliminating guesswork about where to begin or how to continue on.

- Can I contact Zap Guitar if I have a question about a lesson? Yes!
This is the beauty of Zap Guitar: you study in your time, at your pace, and you have access to instructors. You may send your question via our "Contact Us" page, or submit it to the message board. Either way, a Zap Guitar instructor will provide prompt assistance.

- I play some, but not enough. Can Zap Guitar help me play more?
We've made learning fun and interesting, so you'll want to play more and learn more! When you realize how easy it is to learn a new lick, style or song, you'll be adding practice sessions just for the fun of it! And with Zap Guitar lessons being short and concise, you can add sessions in your own time at your own pace.

- There are free lessons all over the Internet. Why should I pay for a Zap Guitar subscription?
It's true. Many Web sites have hundreds of free guitar lessons. What makes Zap Guitar different and worth your yearly subscription is the quality of our instruction and the direction provided. There is no guesswork, so you won't be floundering through a lesson without a clue as to whether you are mastering the skills or when to continue to the next lesson. In fact, Zap Guitar's easy, step-by-step process is great fun.

- Will I need to purchase additional equipment or software to study with Zap Guitar?
Nope. There are no hidden costs and all the tools you for your browser are free: Adobe Acrobat Reader (software), and the Sibelius Scorch plug-in. You'll find download links for both on our site.

- Will I be bombarded with popup ads and other advertising once I sign up for Zap Guitar?
Absolutely not! We have no outside advertising and will not sell or share your information with any third party. Even the books and other materials available for purchase on our site are bought outright by us so that you get big discounts, not advertisers hawking you.

- I'd like to do some research on my favorite players and the gear they used, who can I ask?
Zap Guitar has a guitar encyclopedia with some of the top players' bios, the guitars they use, guitar playing styles, as well as descriptions of the top guitar manufacturers.
