Modern Guitar Course Reviews 186

So, after almost 3 weeks I can admit that I really did a progress I didn't believe I could do. It's not the cheapest course you can find in web, but from the other hand - it's comparable to the price of a good quality guitar, which is not that much, plus you can pay in parts.

I'm part of the MGC program for about 2 months now. The course itself is made of 90 lessons, video's by Lukas Kocka. Very clear and short videos going to the point. It starts from the basics, including the necessary theory but focussing on the important skills to progress technically.
Regularly the student has to post "action items" to show his/her progression and get approval from the teachers (Lukas, Sebastian and Jomar) before moving to the next lesson. Besides, there are also weekly live sessions where you can freely join to ask your questions about the course directly to the teachers.
By signing in, you get a life time access to the lessons package but you also get access to a "student community" with whom you can interact and appreciate the feedback on e.g. the course.
While the community is about to reach a 1,000 members, I still have the feeling that I get all the attention from Lukas. In other words, the financial investment is totally worth it!

The first experience was a call with Sebastian who carefully explained how MGC works and was also very interested in my motivation, story and made shure if our interests were compatible.... It made me decide to join MGC and I haven't had any regrets so far. The way Lukas has set up the learning curve is very versatile, mixing theory (but in a very understandable way) with technique exercises. It's all there....clear exercises, a community which helps one another to get and stay motivated...there's no competition, just help and support. I guess you best enter as a somewhat intermediate guitar player (a pure beginner should first learn some basic techniques). It gets me out of my comfort zone and challenges me to get better. I'm sure I'll be a better player month by month with a real chance of becoming a shredder! You just have to put in the effort, supported by Lukas and his crew and supported by the whole community. Greetz to all, Peter from Belgium.

This course is one of the best investments I've ever done. I am feeling so great following the course, and I am so motivated now, in this path, to be able to reach my goals as a professional guitarist. I totally recommend this music school!

If you are an intermediate rock/metal guitarist who is struggling to progress and ready to put in the work, this course is an excellent investment. The clear learning path, expert guidance, and supportive community provide the perfect system. Highly recommended!

Modern guitar course is basically consisting of several individual parts:

1. Videotutorials categorized into 15 levels (lifetime access)
2. the weekly calls (lifetime access)
3. a very nice community (lifetime access)
4. a personal coaching consisting of 3 sessions 30mins each, starting directly after you have subscribed

I have joined a few weeks ago and here is what I can say until now.

The course is designed for intermediate guitar players who want become better and play like the pros. I am sure that beginners could also use this course to start but the overall feeling on what is expected seems more directed towards intermediate guitarists.

There is a 60-day moneyback guarantee included if you do not get better. This is linked to certain items e.g. you need to attend the weekly calls regularly and some other stuff to make sure that you have really tried. Very fair!

How does it work?
You watch the videos, you play what is requested, film yourself and post it in the community. You get feedback from Lukas‘ and level up. There are 3 weekly calls where you can ask questions to Lukas or his team if you are stuck and get help to figure out the issues you have. Until now each member of the course had enough time in the sessions I have attended to ask all questions that they had. This is a great help.

There seem to be some 20-30 active community members at dec 2025 (overall there are over 900 people in the group but as this is lifetime access it is only natural that only a fraction is active). Comments from everyone are very supportive and I have the feeling that errors are no big deal at all - a save space to learn!
Several participants mentioned in the weekly calls mentioned that they have been members since more than a few years. This convinced me that I absolutely do not have to doubt the promised lifetime access to the community and the calls at all

My first personal session was with Jomar from Lukas‘ team. I told him which song I see as my personal goal and he asked what my practice routine is, what I already did to achieve this goal and what I could do in the future.
After the call he created a dedicated practice plan for me, linking all items to different levels of the videotutorial and he deconstructed the solo from that song in various parts where each part is covering a different aspect of the skills I need to achieve that goal.
The team is really putting in individual effort here. It was a very positive experience!

I have only joined a few weeks ago but I can already see results (where I was stuck at 80% for years on my favorite song I can now already do 90%. more is within reach)

Full recommendation!

Great community. Great lessons with a modern approach for fast results. Great personal attention during your journey and feedback from the community.

The course has a nice logical layout with dedicated pleasant teachers and gives very quickly structure to your learning. At it least it did and still does for me. My first online guitar course- and the only one for me. I've got all I have been looking for here. Suits me very well!

Modern Guitar Course is truly exceptional.
It helped me progress efficiently thanks to a well-designed lesson structure and the incredibility constructive, supportive feedback from the community. You'll meet people who share the same mindset : a genuine desire to improve and a passion for music.

The lessons are crystal clear, and the accompanying materials make it easy to practice in a structured and rigorous way. Everything is carefully thought out to help you grow in the best conditions.

Highly recommended !

I have had a guitar in my hand for many years but never could get past intermediate. I could learn songs and even solos. While that does help with hand syncing and teaching various techniques that are used, it never gave me the ability to play freely or use those techniques at will. It didn't help me to write my own RIFF's. Also, being a weekend warrior didn't help. I have tried many courses, and they just teach like its learning a song. Here are the notes, play it. Start slow and increase speed. Seeing Lukas videos about give me 18 mins and I will fix your guitar technique, and the speed building exercises told me this course might be different. IT IS! It has everything from basic techniques to VERY advanced and lets you go at your own pace WITH support. The best part is it has you apply the lessons not just learn them. It cleans up your bad habits and takes you further. If you don't have bad habits, then you should get through those lessons and action items fast. (I realized I had more than I thought lol). You have to put in the work, that is all and it will work for you.

The community is excellent, and the support is top-notch. The learning path is clear and, most importantly, effective.

What a great group of instructors, and students to learn from. It really feels like home. Thank you all for letting me be apart of a awesome group.

This course is proving to be excellent and exceeding my expectations, which were already high having seen some of Lukas demonstration videos previously! The course is split into logical sections, each with several lessons and action items. Progressing through these maintains motivation, as does online interaction with the other guitarists in the community. Specific goals of each guitarist are also catered for in additional 30 day plans. I signed up about 3 weeks ago and already notice more precision in my playing.

I really enjoy the progressive lesson structure. Finish a lesson, get a review and move on to the next. The feedback from the community is very helpful in pointing out my faults/shortcomings. I'm enjoying the journey and look forward to moving on with this course.

The Modern Guitar Course is truly outstanding! The expert instructors are not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, always ready to guide you at every step. The community of guitar players is just awesome, motivating, encouraging, and a great space to share progress and ideas.

Great online guitar learning Plattform with high quality tools. The regular action items keep you motivated and also accountible for your own progress. The team is very supportive and the community is like-minded.

The course is everything you need to become a great guitar player! It's all well structured and split into sections you can tackle with a few minutes of commitment a day. I'm only 3 weeks into the course and it's already changed my playing substantially, in a way that's notorious to others. I play 2 bands, and everyone had something to say about my playing in the last rehearsals, it's noticeable. I feel more confident with playing and finding the right notes now than I've ever been and I continue to learn new stuff in the course everyday. I have been playing for about 30 years now and I'm finally breaking some of the old habits that were holding me back.

After 20 years of being stuck I found Lukas on Youtube and Instagram and he reached out telling me about Modern Guitar Course. I was at an all time emotional low with the guitar so I decided to take a chance and I am so happy that I did. Lukas, the community and this course have done more for my playing than I could've ever dreamed and I can't thank them enough. If you're unhappy with your playing, but even more than that, if you want to love playing the guitar again then I highly recommend Modern Guitar Course.

The overall enthusiasm of the teachers is so great it transferred over to me and got me to another level of excitement. They are great guys and are always open to help, even when I got an injury on my fretting hand they gave me some tips to keep playing and doing different excercises. I'm really grateful for this course.

I spent over a decade thinking I could skate by on the limited music knowledge I had. After about 2 months, I’ve seen a good jump in my technical abilities. The course is very encouraging and 100% will increase your skill as long as you stay consistent. The instructors, as well as the community, are very good at providing feedback and correction when needed. This program will hold you accountable so you can make the progress you need. Lessons were crafted to keep you interested and in a proper practice routine.
