The 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!

Heartfelt 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.

This is a thorough and comprehensive… This is a thorough and comprehensive system. It is extensive and well-indexed. Everything you need is here at your fingertips, and if you have the time, there is so much here to learn. The best thing about this system though, is the human warmth, professionalism and dedication of the leadership. These qualities have produced a vibrant, friendly and supportive community of learners, and a sense of family. The method is effective. Students display obvious progress. Love it.

How 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

Ulrich gave me the sense if I got my… Ulrich gave me the sense if I got my practice habits right then I could do whatever I chose to do on the guitar to be a better musician. He makes it achievable by chunking it down it to patterns for repeating. He critiques progress along the way and does not give a #complete on a task until we reach a level of proficiency that is of a high standard. He is rigorous in that, very fair, and points out areas for improvement until its 'under my fingers' He has also taught myself and others, that age is no barrier, the only barrier is the one between the ears! For anyone looking to grow as a musician, to feel capable and it is achievable, then join this family. I couldn't recommend it more highly
