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!

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.

AUTGT is my home base TGT Academy has become my home base. Being new to playing, I’ve only picked up my first electric guitar in 2019, I tend to wander around the internet searching for guitar lessons. Once I joined TGT, I gained confidence that I am always on the right path of learning. No more bouncing around random guitar lessons on line. From warmups and practices to the core lessons and tasks, the TGT program is very well structured. Every lesson is essential to accomplishing tasks, tasks that will help you out in understanding and learning the next lessons, lessons that will help you accomplish the next task. You are always moving forward and you can feel and hear the results in your playing. It’s inspiring to see the community Urich has built, grow so much in a short time. New students are always being accepted and a lot of them are already accomplishing tasks ahead of me. Also Urich, apart from being an awesome human being, he also walk the talk. He’s a pro musician still playing, touring and writing songs. I am so fortunate to be learning from him and be part of the community. I can’t wait to get further along the program. I know it will a big leap from where my skills are at the moment. I cannot recommend TGT enough to anyone wanting to pursue playing the elector guitar.

AUUlrich 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

GBUlich is has answered all my questions… Ulich is has answered all my questions about playing and tone etc. what was really useful was the program on how to play Jimi's songs. it actually expanded my knowledge of guitar. I am now working on other scales besides the pentatonic and major scales. also have a good knowledge of circle of fifths. I love this course
