Hi,

I just started online guitar lessons. So far I have a POD GO and an electric guitar, when I play on my own I simply plug my headphones into the POD GO and everything is fine.
Now, I would need to find a setup where:
- I can hear myself playing
- I can listen to what my teacher says
- I don't want to hear my own microphone, obviously
- I need my teacher to be able to hear what I'm playing and what I'm saying, so that would require at some point to mix my microphone with my guitar output.

Would anyone know how can I accomplish that?
Thanks for the answers

This is a high-end consumer audio forum @Ynob and not the ideal place to find good answers to your questions. Members of this forum are all about reproducing music recordings very well here. Creating and recording or streaming live music is another thing entirely. You would be much better served asking these questions on a pro-audio forum like (the embarassingly named but otherwise awesome) www.gearslutz.com

Perhaps a small amplifier for your guitar. Your teacher should be able to hear you play through whatever device you're using to be on-line, assuming it has a microphone. Turn off the sound on that device when you play; the mic should still pick up the sound.

I don't play guitar but if I did I'd buy a Fender tube amp. :-o

I take remote lessons (OK>CA teacher) just using my laptop and ZOOM.
I play classic guitar but don't see how/why an electric using amp would be different.
Sound quality isn't top but it really doesn't matter in a lesson as much as visual ability to follow technique and score.
Best of luck - the only positive of Covid has been driving me to taking lessons remote with better player/teachers than can be found locally -- and these professionals are looking for income with performing venues being closed.
