This study intends to discuss the music learning through musical instruments, more precisely electric guitar learning. To discuss this issue, we approach the guitar player’s formative context in Sobral, Ceará. First, we show electric guitar’s historical trajectory and how it was consolidate as a musical instrument, becoming a symbol for the rock and achieve the singularity between most others instruments. Aiming to verify the factors, which contribute to the music player seeking of skill’s development, we made a literature review using, mainly, titles from music education and pedagogy of music. Focusing on motivation, we discuss aspects of the electric guitar’s learning process. As we interviewed four professional’s guitar players that live in Sobral, we saw the need to perform a field research for better understanding of the formation’s environment to which they were exposed during their formation process. At the end of this study, we conclude that the best way to learn electric guitar is through musical experience, i.e., the guitar’ student should look for having as much as possible interactions with several music environments in order to guarantee the construction and development of his guitar’s knowledge and skills.
