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.

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.

Excellent value! I have greatly appreciated Guitar Tricks' course work. Not knowing anything about playing I've appreciated how basic, short, and encouraging each lesson is. It gives you time to pause, re start watch, listen and learn. If you have trouble you can always go back. Anders is very encouraging and online nice, the kind of person you wish you could be friends with. For a very new player he slows down and shows every step. Overall I am extremely satisfied and it is well worth the cost. 1 week and I am comfortable with four chords.

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.

As a beginner I find Guitar Tricks a… As a beginner I find Guitar Tricks a good learning resource. I started on the beginner level course, even though I had already completed the Fender Play course. Even though I would rate the Fender course, it was more of an introduction to the Guitar, whilst Guitar Tricks course focused improving. The instructors are solid guitarist who give helpful tips and advice. An important lesson I am learning is to be patient and not to rush into more advance guitar until I polish up on the basics. In all, I am really enjoying learning with Guitar Tricks, but taking a pre-course before signing up has really benefited my progression.
