I have started and stopped playing… I have started and stopped playing guitar many times. Started as a teenager, and tried to learn from books. I learned basic chords, and a few songs, but would get bored and dissatisfied and quit. Now at 49, I am determined to finally play guitar well enough to enjoy playing for myself and with other musicians. I started guitar tricks one week ago, and it is the best money I have spent learning guitar. I started with the fundamentals 1 course and can’t believe how fast my skills have increased in such a short time. The course exercises build upon one another in such an organised and well thought out manner. I wish I had access to this 30 years ago. I enrolled in a music theory class at university, and was so overwhelmed, I had to drop out after 3 days. In one week, I have already memorised the notes on the fret board. It has been so fun and enjoyable, that my intention to just practice for 10-30 minutes has turned into 2-3 hours per day, because I lose track of time, and get so excited to see what is next in the course exercises.

So far, So good It's very early in the game (I have only been taking the online lessons for 4 days), but I am already impressed by how the site is so well organized. The lessons are easy to follow but are also fun. I look forward to (re)learning to play the guitar after a half-century layoff.

I just started using Guitar Tricks I just started using Guitar Tricks, and I have been trying to learn to play the guitar off and on for 40 years! I had books and I would practice for several months, get frustrated and quit for a year or more. This process has continued and I haven't gotten very far. I already see a huge advantage to having a person talk about the lesson and demonstrate the lesson for you. I didn't even know that I should use my fingertips! I'm excited to continue and see where this leads me. I think the instructor is good at talking you out of becoming frustrated, which has been my major problem.

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.

So far So far, so good. I am enjoying the lesson, and in particular Anders slower approach to learning. I have a tendency to look for instant results which can be discouraging. Your prices are also great, I have spent on four lesson in the past on what a year cost for your subscription.
