Reviews

Chris

October 30, 2023

Thank you, I really enjoyed this course! This was a really nice balance between technique and theory which was exactly what I was after. I already had some rusty music theory knowledge in my background, and this explained how to apply that to the Guitar in a really clear and well paced way. I recommend this for anyone who wants to start or improve on their guitar journey.

Simon

October 21, 2023

I really appreciate how natural he is and find it good to go back several times over various details which is easy.

Doll

August 24, 2023

This is so comprehensible and easy to understand! I've wanted to learn guitar for a while now, and this course is absolutely perfect for anyone who's new notes/chords and instrument-playing.

Thomas

August 22, 2023

The reason I left this rating is because it has given me confidence in the guitar by easy to understand explanations.

Liam

August 18, 2023

easy to follow, starting with great foundations which I can see gradual improvement in my ability through following .

Amazing Indepth Course. Awesome explanations, feel great throughout the course. The instructor has great information about guitaring, and concepts were explained with great precision. I feel like I have learned awesome information that can't be found elsewhere. Highly recommend the course. It really is the ultimate training ????

Clifford

August 16, 2023

Talks about more than just the subject matter. Mental preparation is also discussed. I'm very impressed so far.

Rachel

August 13, 2023

Exactly what I wanted - starting entirely from scratch. I taught myself to play guitar as a teenager, and while I could play songs I knew, I din't know enough about how to actually play and music theory to ever write my own songs or be particularly spontaneous. This course has been fantastic and easy to digest so far.

Yonathan

August 12, 2023

I feel like the guy is literally by my side, its so easy to understand and relate plus its structured and step by step… so far so good

Elias

August 3, 2023

The course is amazing so far! The instructor has great knowledge and understanding of beginners mood & situation, and his approach is very engaging & interesting.

Selim

July 31, 2023

The content needs improvement in terms of organization and practice. For example, while the instructor provides the necessary chords and a PDF resource, there is a lot of unnecessary talking without enough practical demonstration. It would be helpful if the instructor could show how to align fingering properly on the actual fret to enhance the learning experience on that subject.

Gerard

July 16, 2023

the video quality is inconsistent! This becomes irritating when you are watching while player the guitar when you have to lower or higher the volume. This makes this course appear unprofessional and unorganized and takes away from appreciating the content.

Carol

July 5, 2023

But the government has been unable to persuade the public that the new rules will apply to all of the country’s

Dirk

June 19, 2023

great course. I was 'n intermediate guitarist, and this was just what I needed to go to the next level.

Efe

June 18, 2023

Too much talking draws the attention. Many has too little precious time to watch courses, except from this, the content looks great, though.
