GBOne of the best decisions I've made One of the best decisions I've made. The cost of the program at the time of my participation was roughly the equivalent of 60-minute weekly private lessons for one (to two) years. I benefited immensely from the sequencing and independent pacing of the curriculum and learned guitar in a way I had not been able to through self-led study. When I had more time, I progressed very quickly; and when I had a baby and had to adjust my practice commitments, it was right there, ready whenever I was. Three years later, I find myself wanting to go back through certain points of the program to further deepen my skills. And, unlike private lessons, I can still utilize the program for study. It's not a one-time benefit!

GBBrilliant learning path: Still part of my daily schedule after three years. I started with Sonora back when it was GMI and i've never looked back. I was in a self-taught rut as a player and needed to go back to the beginning. With many years of playing experience i needed a course that understood a seasoned professional needing to unlock a new path without losing my musical voice. My mentor TJ was very insightful and really helped me develop a deeper understanding of my instrument and harmony. Playing should be fun and Sonora is a super enjoyable platform to learn with - I'm still using it daily!

GBTruly a pathway to fluency Going from one lesson a week with a guitar teacher to then transitioning to a program like Sonora was a game changer. You are able to improve your skills drastically. With step by step guides on what to practice, why you're practicing what you're practicing and a clear path to fretboard fluency. I've made many connections with things I'd been playing for a long time but didn't understand, and beyond. It's a great feeling being in the hands of an amazing program like this along with their outstanding mentors.

GBLove Sonora Guitar Intensive Love Sonora Guitar Intensive! Thanks to Spencer, Ila, and especially my Prep Class mentor Curt for moving me beyond the perpetual beginner stage! I have enjoyed both the Prep Class and The Intermediate online program. The modules are great and so are the Facebook Classes. I look forward to working with a mentor again in 2024.

GBThey deliver a wealth of instruction I've been a Sonora student for over a year and I have definitely progressed a lot using their resources. It's pretty pricey, but they deliver great instruction and a step-wise curriculum that appeals to me.
