Review of Sonora Guitar Intensive


Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I am impressed

I am impressed. What stands out relative to other online courses is the personal attention you receive and the dedication of the teachers. It really is like a well-run music school, the difference being that it is online. That's OK, because the online tools available today plus well-designed software make the experience seamless even though you're not sitting in class. Yes, it's expensive, and I read the reviews complaining that one can learn the fretboard on your own with books like Fretboard Logic, etc. But a single book like that doesn't have anything close to the mentors, instruction, tools, and the commitment value you create for yourself from ongoing interactions that happen in this course--like a good music school. And my mentor is both a great player and a fantastic teacher. Just for background, I played guitar as a kid, completely self-taught, became a serviceable around-the-campfire guy and decent finger picker, but I never learned the fretboard well enough to transfer my musical chops to the instrument. Thirty years later, this course is gonna fix that issue.
