Got questions?
We’ve got you.
Choosing the right program is a big decision and we want you to feel confident. Here are answers to the most common questions we get.
Who is Sonora’s Guitar Intensive for?
This is built for intermediate guitar players who feel stuck- players who have some foundational skills but can’t break into fluency or creative freedom. (If you’re a true beginner, we suggest enrolling in our 6-week Beginner Bootcamp.)
How long will it take me to see real progress?
Students often report more growth in 3–6 months of intensive learning than in years of casual practice. But your speed depends on your time investment, consistency, and how well you follow the tailored plan.
What is the time commitment per week?
You’ll have structured assignments, practice plans, group classes, and mentor feedback spread across the week. The program gives you a clear daily roadmap so you never wonder what to practice.
How do I interact with my mentor?
You’ll have real-time chat access, video feedback, and guidance from your mentor (5 days a week), plus occasional 1-on-1 sessions in the intermediate track.
What if I miss a live class or session?
The curriculum is built to be flexible. That means lessons, assignments, and feedback are available on your schedule so you can catch up. (Though being present live is always best for interaction.)
What styles or genres does the curriculum support?
Regardless of your style—rock, jazz, blues, pop, etc.—the curriculum covers core foundations of music and fretboard fluency that apply across genres.
What kinds of results have past students achieved?
Many have broken through long stagnation periods and unlocked fluency, songwriting confidence, and improvisational skills. The site shares reviews, testimonials, and “before vs. after” stories. new.learnwithsonora.com
How do I know if I'll be a good fit — what if it’s too advanced or too slow?
The process begins with a skills check or evaluation during enrollment, and mentors will help adjust pacing. The program is designed to meet you where you are and push you progressively forward.
