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.

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...!!

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.

Nine days in… I am just nine days in and am still in the fingers 'very sore' stage but I am enjoying the lessons immensely. I am a 73 year old complete beginner following both Lisa's and Anders' 'Guitar Fundamentals 1' concurrently and there is no doubt that I am making progress. I hate to look back but I wish I had done this years ago but, looking forward, I am confident that with Guitar Tricks I will learn to play guitar. Fantastic!
