16 Million People Began Learning Guitar Within the Last 2 Years

It started when the pandemic hit.

62% of those said that one motivator was the extra time they had while in quarantine. The majority of new players are between the ages of 13 and 34 but, not all of them are looking to become rock stars as most consider the instrument as more of a hobby rather than a passion. The study was commissioned by fender, who offered three months of free online lessons after the pandemic hit.
