Greg content, app needs work
The videos are amazing, I’ve learned so much so quickly I can’t complain at all in terms of content. The app however could be greatly improved. It should make accessing the content easier but I would almost say you’re better off using the website because then at least when you close it you won’t have to filter through all the choices again just to get to the song you were working on. There needs to be a search function to find songs it’s crazy that there isn’t. Also the app should have a function to let you book mark or save songs you’re working on. Having to scroll to the bottom of the songs list every time I open the app to find the one I’m trying to learn is a bit frustrating. Would be handy also if the app could show your progress through lessons like the website does.Show lessturp827
Site nav tool
There are several things I would like to see added. Quick links to songs preview of the entire song in the beginning of the actual class give us a video tour explaining how to track progress navigate the sight. Kind of frustrating when you’re just trying it out before buying. By the time I learn the site and where I place in it and getting acclimated. I know that you guys deserve 5stars but I can’t really navigate the site that’s where the other 2stars are at😊Show lessAnonamous coward
Amazing app
This app is incredible. I’m learning so much and I’m retaining the information. Everything is broken down and explained so well by all the incredible instructors. This app actually teaches you how to play and not just play certain songs or follow a bouncing ball. You learn styles, techniques and actual songs. I wish I tried this app first.
Couple critiques:
1. The notation in the lessons are difficult to read. You aren’t able to zoom in or full screen the tab.
2. I wish there was a way to mark your progress or mark the lessons that you’ve done. (I believe you can in the actual website but not the app)
3. Add some Bass lessons.Show lessFewsax1234
4 years now...
I joined Guitar Tricks as a beginner and now 4 years later I’m feeling really good about the progress I’ve made. I haven’t missed more than 3 days of practice since I started. I admit to being a poor student and I could be much better if I were smarter. I am 57 and have put more time into soloing than learning chords. My plan is to have FUN and not join a band or get too serious. Thanks to the instructors and folks that put the site up. Other than Steve Stine I wouldn’t consider another site or teacher. Good luck!Show lessdjmarkos475
Don’t hesitate
I’m 47 and have been playing off and on since jr. high. GuitarTricks is the most helpful thing I have ever found to advance me as a player. The lessons are in depth and amazing! Every thing is broken down and taught extremely effectively. You can even loop a portion of a lesson until you got it down. Having the jam tracks to all the great songs on the site is awesome! No more do I learn bits and pieces of songs I go through each lesson within a song and then jam to the backing track. The backing tracks are fantastic quality. Kudos GuitarTricks! And thank you, you have me more excited to pick up my guitar than ever! I also go through the lessons when I’m not near my guitar they are so goodShow lessdeldots
Good posture and good practices
The only app I found out there in which good posture and good practices are explained and encouraged.
I also love the other more gamifyed options, but this one seems to be the a very good choice if you have longer term guitar learning plan.LauraBelinky
Lessons are fine, App needs work.
No fast forward, rewind, or scrubbing through the jam tracks? There isn’t even a simple way to stop and start over from the beginning, you’re forced to listen to the entire track before you can start over? Super frustrating.
Screen formatting on iPads seems a bit off in places. Things are cut off on the screen. Come on.
Biggest problem. There really needs to be a way of bookmarking where one is in the countless core learning system and song lessons. It’s very easy to forget where you left off and looking in the history is not convenient nor entirely effective. Good new is that there is a ton of great content, bad news is that there doesn’t seem to be a way of organizing it in a way that is useful to the user in the way of favoriting lessons or bookmarking. I seem to be spending a silly amount of time trying to find things I want to easily return to.
The low rating is because these seem like app fundamentals to me. Focus seems to be on the website (where all these functions exist), but the app, which I would prefer to use, lags substantially.Show lessjeffitz
Don’t Believe Negative Reviews
Guitar Tricks, their organized approach, small bite lessons (typically 5-minutes), and tracking system is phenomenal. Better than anything else out there.
I can’t understand the few reviews that are at all negative (most are very favorable). I think some people just like to criticize because it makes them feel in control, powerful, and good despite their miserable lives. If they could do better, then why don’t they? Hard to do better than Guitar Tricks, in my view.
Guitar Tricks is outstanding and I highly recommend.Show lessRiptide8
Edit out fluff
I think the app is good from a learning perspective. I think there is opportunity to spend less time with reminding users at the beginning of every video that it is guitar tricks. I think the videos could be edited down to half the time so that students could spend more time playing and less time listening and waiting. Overall I think the instructors do a great job explaining and I save time by not having to drive to a lesson, plus I can take a lesson any time that is convenient for me.Show lessSoccertsts
Guitar tricks is a tremendous boost for me.
I had just been essentially doing warm up exercises and dabbling with various guitar apps. It was not until I started with GuitarTricks I expanded my playing by an order of magnitude. I was basically just trying to exercise my fingers and toughen up my finger tips on my fretting hand. I didn’t not want to pickup any bad habits. It was not until this I began picking cords and building a base. The more I am learning the more I am wanting to play. I feel by the time I finish the beginner courses I will have a solid foundation. From there I can pick up other guitar tabs and other theories.Show lessCray992
