Guitar Tricks review

Guitar Tricks is one of the deepest video courses for a beginner who plans to stick with guitar. The Full Access membership opens over 11,000 lesson videos and more than 1,000 songs, organized into a learning pathway so a new player is not left to choose from the whole catalog. Each song comes with tabs and standard notation, and genre courses teach the grooves, theory and terms behind each style rather than only the chords. A toolbox adds a chord chart, scale finder, jam station, metronome and tuner. The free Basic membership includes 24 lessons, which is enough to see whether the teaching style suits you, and the company says it has coached over 4 million members. Full Access costs $29.95 per month, and the pricing page says the annual plan saves $60. The tradeoffs are price, which is the highest monthly rate we verified, and the lack of note-by-note feedback.
