beginner guitar player I am just learning to play guitar and have decided to try learning through Guitar Tricks. I have just started so I couldn't quite rate a 5 yet, but gave it a 4 because so far it has been easy enough to follow along with and get comfortable.

After many years, I finally decided to take this online… I finally decided to take this online guitar course after decades of not playing the guitar. The starting course by Anders Mouridsen is excellent. They may sound "elemental", but are not. Just the opposite. It is truly enjoyable and with patience, it will teach you the ABC's of guitar playing if you dedicate yourself to it. Hopefully by the end of the summer of 2024, I'll be inducted into the R&RHOF...!!

Path to success This looks like i may finally have a path to success. I purchased their biggest competitor, and even though they are very good, I needed more structure, Guitar Tricks offers that. I was hoping they would offer a Jazz component, but Blue is the main area of interest. I started from introduction 1 and because I do have some experience some of the videos were not needed and others were a review, It was worth it to give me a feel on how to best use the lessons. I have now started down the blues path and enjoying it. I would have like it if the instructor kept the distortion off his guitar so I can compare clean sounds but I'll get over it. I'm a 65 yr old student, so you can do it.. Go for it!

Finally getting somewhere I took some courses on another platform but found them pretty unstructured overall. It bothered me that instructors showed off their skill without giving proper instruction. I picked up some great tricks from Rusty on Youtube. But I wanted to get a proper foundation and now on Guitar Tricks I finally feel that I am getting somewhere to build on.

Easy To Follow I have wanted to play guitar for years. I have an acoustic and an electric guitar and I very occasionally pick them up but am completely clueless as to what to do with them. I came across Guitar Tricks and decided to give it a go. It's been great. Lessons are clear and manageable and although I only started a few days ago I already feel like I am progressing and improving. I've learned some basic chords and am now learning how to change through them. I'm strumming and there feels like there's purpose to what I am doing. Can't wait to practice some more. Only thing holding me back is the sore fingers.
