<p>I know that Columbia offers music lessons, but the only beginner's one they offer is for piano. Is there a place nearby that offers free intro/beginner lessons for guitar? if not, what's a good and inexpensive place?</p>
<p>The least expensive way would probably be to look for flyers posted on Broadway. Or Dodge Hall...there are always broke music department grad students looking for a way to make a buck.</p>
<p>If you want something more institutionalized you could try and take something at the nearby Manhattan School of Music, though I'm certain it would be somewhat costly. There's a cheaper-looking school of music on I think 108th between Riverside and Broadway that may be worth investigating.</p>
<p>its new york, there are tons of broke musicians who are looking to make an extra buck i'm sure you can find people offering lessons online as well if you do a search.</p>
