The best online course I've taken and by a wide margin.
Using this as a refresher after not playing for many years and have found this program to be exactly what I needed. Instruction videos paired with the sheet music is particularly helpful. Also, the sheer volume of content is impressive, yet very easy to navigate. I genuinely believe a complete novice could start at module one and learn to play guitar with this course.
The Best
I have used countless online guitar lessons and I would say hands down Guitar Tricks is the most comprehensive and professional for guitarists at all levels.
There service is also top notch.
Just try this!
Just try this! I started with guitar tricks just over a week ago and I already have learned a lot. Guitar Tricks is helpful, explains it well, and makes it fun. They also have a system where you can send them videos if you don't think your doing it right or have a live meeting. I would definitely recommend guitar tricks.
I have only reviewed everything
I have only reviewed everything, but I have not jumped in and I will very soon. Thank you.
Progess
Feedback is great. As Im working thru a lesson and have a question, I get a clear answer. I love the way I can knock these lessons out and go over and over them until I nail them. I like the way they build on each other and very gradually get more difficult. its taken me a year and Im almost finished with Level 1 Acoustic and will back track for review before I start the next lesson.

I'm very new to guitar,and trying everyday to improve. I also using tac. Different approach trying ti figure out what would be best suit to me. As a beginner im lost a lot. I think things that seem obvious might not be. I'm older new guitar student and need help with getting going. Maybe a program over 60 group.
So far it is doing well teaching
So far it is doing well teaching. However having a chart to show finger placement would help during the lesson. Otherwise it is absolutely great. Thank you
Great site for learning
This is a great site for learning guitar. I got introduced to it a week ago and I've already learned a song. The instruction is great and easy to follow. Highly recommend this site!!
I've been playing guitar for a little…
I've been playing guitar for a little over a year now and needed some structure in order to progress. This program helped with that and the support staff was very accommodating by honoring a promo code after I initially paid a higher price to join.
Exactly what I wanted
Exactly what I wanted. I've been playing (just strumming really) for 45 years! No joke. Never tried to get better because I truly loved singing, so I just played enough to get by. The software is exceptionally intuitive, easy to see where a lesson is going immediately and assess whether or not I need it. Rewind, skip it, slow it down. It's perfect. Finally stopped scanning random youtube videos and have a path to getting better.
Guitar Tricks,
Guitar Tricks,
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you just how awesome Guitar Tricks really seems to be!
I have been playing guitar for around 12 yrs. I am only in the chords/barre chords phase and currently trying to learn the complete the neck the best I can.
I have played the trial & error with Sooooooooooo many Guitar Websites/DVDs/etc.!!!!!!
Of course, all promise to be the Better than the Rest!!!
However, I just wanted to tell you that I have probably given up on you guys at least 4 times in between these others I have mention. I realize I am definitely not the Expert to Judge, But.................Guitar Tricks always Finds a Way to bring me back making me believe that you guys are truly the Real Deal with your Tenacious Dedication and Hard Work!!! Somehow, you guys Constantly Continue to even Get Better!!!! Guitar Tricks means so much to me because these Promised to Be the Best & Who Were Not Have Wasted so much of my Time and Effort in wanting to truly Learn the Guitar. As all of you are aware, this can be very emotionally frustrating, if NOT JUST PAINFUL as Heck :) The Pain comes from the Years (Yes, Years) that I wasted and should have always stayed with Guitar Tricks Because I Strongly Feel I would be much Further Along in My Guitar Journey.
I just thought you guys deserved the highly earned and respected comment!
Please do not hesitate to ask if there is anything I could do for you!!!
You Rock!!!!!
Please pass this on to all of your staff members - They Have Earned It!!!!!!
Respectfully,
John Maness
To many great tools to describe
i have tried a few different Online guitar lessons over the years but none have ever been this in depth or fun there are so many great lessons and tools available and the price of lessons is a great value
ALERT: DON'T SUBSCRIBE TO GUITAR TRICKS!!
Guitar Tricks started out good and I liked the format. It started with a code or coupon for reduced rate dropping subscription from $19.95 to $8,however it never came to fruition, instead they took my money but refused to acknowledge my payment. I even sent them screenshots of my bank transactions with their name above the charge. They said they couldn't find my account, and asked me to have my bank call them. Banks don't do that and they know it. When I called them the person/female receptionist that answered was so rude she was borderline beligerant refusing to help in anyway other than you don't exist. I thought I found a decent company that would return what I put into it I would get out but not this time. If you're looking for a good solid guitar teaching format and you're a parent or just beginning guitar, pass on this website.They need to tweak their customer service skills.
Hard pass on GUITAR TRICKS.

I have been a guitar 'hacker' for about 30 years. Never having any formal training and never having the time to do so. I'm now retired and committed to learning. I found this course and it is just what I needed! The structure and videos are perfect. From learning theory, and practicing along with the videos, I am loving this! I'm practicing 2 to 3 hours a day and would do more if I had the time. I've mostly taken Anders videos and he is awesome. As are the others I've looked at. Well done!!
Highly recommended
I'm Learning guitar now for 2,5 years with guitar tricks and made it through four courses (fundamentals 1 & 2, acoustic 1 & 2). The courses give structure and clarity and together with the practice tunes deliver satisfaction moving forward.

Hi ❤️ my Father got me a WHOLE YEAR MEMBERSHIP FOR CHRISTMAS 🎄!! It looks so great !! I just saw Jeff give me feedback on your YouTube channel. Thank you !! I can really use it !!! I will tell all about your site !! GuiarTricks !!

I am a beginner and older than most.
I am a beginner and older than most.
I like the presentation of the very basic information about guitars and the steps from warm up exercises to tuning to playing chords to strumming.
I find the lessons are very well organized into small segments and do not overwhelm.
I am proceeding but in the early stages after 2 days. Ni

They guide you in a positive way to ensure you make progress. Take your time and don’t jump around to the next shiny lesson. On other sites I have been on that was what I was doing on guitar tricks they tell this a lot you will make better progress by sticking to the plan
Quick response to my request
Quick response to my request. Compassionate to my problem. Solved quickly. Customer service was awesome!
Its good to review
I've been tinkering around with the guitar for some time, but have never had lessons. It is helping me tons to start from the very beginning ("it's a very good place to start" - Sound of Music). I can see how to properly hold my chording hand and pick, for example.
