GBThe Best Instructional Site Available The courses are set up for making a good or even a beginner with some basics become a great guitarist. It does as the name implies, Total Guitar Transformation. Being based on the music of Jimi Hendrix sounds intense, BUT the way Ulrich, and the other instructors, and students share their own experiences makes you feel like "hey, I can do that too".

GBHeartfelt 5 stars! I would like to provide my finest commendation to Total Guitar Transformation academy and its creator and a fine mentor, Ulrich Ellison. I have been a student at TGT for about 8 months now, I have learned about the internals of guitar playing techniques, music theater, composition, you name it... More than I have learned in a couple of decades. At this point, when someone throws around something to the tune of "playing using diminished 7th arpeggios" this actually does make sense to me which is absolutely wonderful! All in all, I can't recommend Ulrich and his course more. Ulrich is also fostering such fantastic and friendly community, that helps to propel each one of the students along the course. I wholeheartedly recommend this course to anyone passionate about guitar and music in general.

GBI have worked with many guitar teachers… I have worked with many guitar teachers over the last 50 years. Ulrich is the best. His system is not only very informative and motivational, it is also fun and entertaining. If it’s not fun, people won’t stick with it. You will love this program.

FRHow to speak MUSIC How to speak the beautiful language of music. This is the most valuable thing that I learned from Ulrich. This made me think like a musician. I didn’t even think about this aspect when I entered the course. I thought that melody and chords is all - but learned that rhythm, accentuations and dynamics is what makes music eventually alive. Then there was the Basic Training stuff. This is a well-structured system. The TGT community provides an extremely powerful support here. If you accomplished this, then you became a guitar player. Since my graduation I have the freedom to quickly learn and play any kind of blues / rock / funky song in full and with feel. Ulrich made me a guitar player. I could not be happier 😊. Gabor

GBThe Total Guitar Transformation Academy is amazing! The Total Guitar Transformation Academy is just that, a true academy that will take your guitar skills to the next level if you put in the work. The program is carefully thought out and structured into modules with carefully curated exercise tasks. The first two modules take you through foundational technical skills whereupon a Basic Training certificate is earned upon completion of 10 tasks in the form of video submissions. Modules 4-6 focuses on musical development centered around 4 specific Hendrix songs where you build not only musical knowledge and vocabulary, but also develop your ear training, touch, tone, phrasing, dynamics, etc. Completion of 12-16 tasks throughout these modules culminates in earning the core TGT program graduation certificate. The video submissions are carefully reviewed directly by Ulrich himself with helpful feedback provided to coach you along the way. There is also a weekly group lesson on zoom where Ulrich directly answers questions and helps students on whatever they may be working on. Finally, the Facebook group is full of like-minded passionate guitarists at all levels from all around the world. This experience has been enriching by creating relationships through interacting and encouraging one another. TGT truly rocks!
