5 Stars 5 Stars Sonora doesn't just offer you a course and then leave you to your own devices. From the very beginning they have been very involved in my progress. Even before I started working with my mentor, I still had a Sonora rep (Mike) checking in on me very regularly. I can't speak highly enough of my mentor Robb Cappelletto. I feel like Robb is the teacher I've always been looking for. He has the perfect juxtaposition of technicality and musicality. He has a music first approach that I greatly appreciate but is able to teach the technicals in a way that makes them usable.

$5k without a single guitar lesson and they kept every penny!!! I paid them $5k to get my "guitar intensive" journey started. Once I had shown interest after many months of borderline spam texts, they went all in. I was pushed to pay the $5k as fast as possible because you can't put a price on your dreams. What's it costing every day you DON'T purchase the membership. Well it was near my birthday so with some help from my parents, I scheduled the $5k of payments across 2 or 3 payments within 2 weeks. It gets blurry from there. I had a few calls with various admin to figure out how they were going ro proceed with my custom experience. It ended up taking a month or so before I had my first one on one. Actually more like two months because ai asked to cancel after missing my 2nd video call with my "mentor" due to technical difficulties. My computer wouldn't play audio through their app and so they had me call on speakerphone. This wasn't exactly practical so after the weekend I called and asked for a partial refund. I hadn't had a single lesson yet mind you. I knew that they had invested a handful of calls in to me and I was embarrassed with my technical skills in fixing the problem so I offered them $1,000 for their time. Well that was a mistake because it turned into a very unprofessional race to the bottom where all he offered to refund me was $2200. $2,200!!! From $5,000!!! They have a guarantee where if any student isn't happy they refund your total cost. This is just a LIE. Nothing came of anything and I can't even sue them as what you ultimately pay for is to get on a group call list with no physical location. Be smarter than me. These scumbags kept every penny and ignored my further contact 😤 Spencer is a piece of poop and one day I hope to find you mother lover and give u a big hug you funky fan get!

Love 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.

Progress he Sonora Guitar Intensive is a great (and intense) program that helped me break out of a rut in my guitar playing, and I have made real progress since then. More progress than in the last 10 years, in a matter of months. It does take some dedication, but if you are looking to get further in your practice, check out SGI

Guitar Instruction in bite-sized chunks This course is great! You can learn at your own pace, and the instructional videos are very helpful. These folks clearly know their stuff, and the bite-sized lessons are great for people like me with crazy schedules. I really like that with the revised curriculum each new technique is followed by a practical application in a song.
