GuitarTricks Review

With so many online tuition services available, it can sometimes be quite tricky to find the best one for you – especially if you’re just starting out and looking for beginner lessons. Adding to this, every player is different – with unique styles and tastes, so it’s important that a good online tuition service caters to everyone’s needs.

GuitarTricks.com has over 1.9 million members and has won awards from respected publications including Acoustic Guitar Magazine’s players choice awards. With an absolutely huge range of video lessons at every level, most guitar players will easily be able to find something that fits the bill. What we really like about guitartricks.com is that they don’t just cover one or two things; they’ve successfully covered all sorts of interesting topics, techniques and songs. That means you don’t just have to stick to learning techniques, you can also learn a ton of other stuff such as how to get a great tone from your amp, or how your favourite guitarist develops their style. Nice!

Instructors

Perhaps one of the reasons behind their diversity is the range of different instructors. It’s human nature that everyone teaches in a slightly different way, and as such it’s always great when you find your ‘match’ with a teacher that you really feel inspired by. GuitarTricks currently has over 45 instructors, all with their own specialities. From the lessons we watched, we really enjoyed the fact that the teachers on GuitarTricks are genuine guitar players; they’ve been there, done it and got the t-shirt.

What other people say:

“Truly this is the BEST LEARNING site I have ever seen…

I have never played metal and it took me a couple of days to get the rythym, etc down..but after a LOT of practice its starting to come along. Thanks for sharing, I really mean that. This is by far the best learning site i have ever had the pleasure to learn from.”

David Ostrander, Bastrop, Texas, U.S.A.

 

“Kudos to you people for putting this together and your contributions that make the site what it is. Just finished going through a few of your tutorials. I’ve been playing since six years of age and am only now striving to learn theory after playing by ear for thirty years. The site is invaluable. I can learn at my own speed and choose what I want to dive into at any given time. Very exiting.

Cheers!”
