Would recommend it to everyone.... ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2015-12-11, version 7.6.5* The content and quality of presentation makes this a standout - and the support that the team provides is first class. You want to learn guitar? Start here ### 5/5 — Great, Great, Great! *2015-12-06, version 7.6.5* Truly awesome and worth the money. I have learned more from this than any other lessons. My son is also learning from this. He is 10 years old and he loves it. ### 5/5 — Top Magazine *2015-11-27, version 7.6.5* This is a great intuitive app and the magazine is content is brilliant. I am a novice guitarist who left it too many years before getting into it. Sometimes my ambition can sap and this magazine is a great way to keep up my interest and morale. Keep up the good work ! ### 5/5 — .. *2015-10-08, version 7.6.5* Best support, Great articles one of only three great guitar magazines ! (IMO) Chaos first because this is when true colours show..... I lost all my issues from one device and the support was great, got them back with minimal fuss. The articles work on all levels they are clear and informative and best of all varied in styles etc. Any level of guitarist would gain from them, wether they would admit it or not. Best of all if you want to stretch yourself you can. You can even get some great ideas for your own music, if you listen through some of the lessens ! I usually don't waste my time writing reviews, this is my first and only one, but This magazine is Great, just had to show some support :). ### 5/5 — Great *2015-09-20, version 7.6.5* Awesome way to learn guitar. Great use of today's technology. ### 4/5 — Mag app *2015-08-29, version 7.6.5* Very informative! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t bother *2022-03-08, version 15.3.202112141* Can’t download purchased material ### 1/5 — Author unresponsive *2022-02-12* Having problems downloading on two different devices, I’ve emailed the author twice, no response from them and can’t even get a logon to the website. Don’t recommend ### 1/5 — Cant access despite buying issues and previously subscribing *2021-02-13, version 9.13.15* Ive been loyal to this app for many years but can’t now access previous purchases and despite paying annual subscription can’t access issues? ### 1/5 — Bcdhdhdg *2015-11-07, version 7.6.5* Hdhdbdhsbsbcbxbxbnxncncbc ### 1/5 — *was* a fantastic magazine.... *2013-12-01, version 4.5.1* .... But it hasn't been updated in ages, and issue 9 which I had previously purchased changed to 'update' recently. When I tried to update it, it instead tried to charge me for the issue again. Sad, because I actually really enjoyed learning from the earlier issues ### 1/5 — Can't access subscription *2013-11-22, version 4.5.1* Great magazine. We'll written easy to follow. Can't access subscription and customer service Is very poor. Can restore purchases but not subscriptions. Need to learn to respond to customers email quickly. ### 1/5 — Beginner *2012-07-19, version 2.4.1* Ive subscribed but have no access to the June or July issues I want access or my money back - Peter ### 2/5 — Faulty *2020-06-16, version 9.13.15* Keeps crashing. ### 3/5 — Upgraded Ipad lost stuff. *2014-08-18, version 6.0.5* On upgrading my iPad the app lost 4 editions of the mag, I have repurchased these which is a rip off. Charl tried to help but it was beyond him. Restore does not work completely so beware. Upgraded from ipad 1 to 2. Lessons are good and fun. ### 3/5 — Content Good, App Wanting *2013-07-13* The content in Guitar Skills are great supplementary lessons, this coming from player returning after 20 years rebuilding many skills from ground 0, and a good knowledge of what I didn't do right last time. The video content is great, but video is not enough and there is too much dependency on it without real work put into WORDS, so you can easily refer back to things. So I will leave that at "supplementary". The app itself is reusing a underlying app I've seen in other publications, and it is one of the worst magazine (or text book) implementations I've used, and I do a LOT of reading, for work, personal and guitar. Navigation is pitiful, and this is critical for learning delivery. Worse, the app seems to be built into each issue, instead of the content being independent -- meaning if the app has to be updated, every issue has to be individually updated --RE-DOWNLOADED. Then, the app is frequently unresponsive, so coupled with the navigation and always strapped for time, I throw my arms up in surrender. So, unless this improves, I will not renew. Sad, because I like the content when I can find it. One last nit pick ... seems like some content disappeared in an update without explanation -- specifically some song lessons which is obvious what happened. That is kind of unforgivable. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great Magazine *2024-07-19, version 15.10.20221219* Great way to learn and practice guitar!!! ### 5/5 — AA Guitar Skills app *2022-07-14* This is an excellent app for learning the guitar or expanding one's knowledge of the guitar. The articles are well written, and the video lessons are well done at a nice, comfortable pace, and one can go over the lessons as many times as needed. ### 5/5 — Sick Vids *2022-06-28* In depth, but hope for more support ### 5/5 — Très facile a suivre *2022-01-01, version 15.3.202112141* Dnne une très bonne base dans lle style de musique que vous choisissez et très bien fait. ### 5/5 — AA Guitar Skills *2019-03-08* Super App that I enjoy a great deal!!! ### 5/5 — Great Stuff! Now if I could only subscribe *2019-01-17* Love the lessons in here. There brilliant! My only complaint is, I cannot find a working link to get me subscribed or signed up. Must I purchase each individual e- magazine or lesson plan? Does one have the option to subscribe, the way other apps have a membership option to see all lessons? Please let me know if this a programmers error, or if it is “ pilot error” on my part. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Simply the best *2018-11-30, version 9.13.10* I haven't found a better tutorial guitar magazine, for beginners and aficionados alike ### 5/5 — Awesome Guitar Instruction *2018-11-20, version 9.13.10* Best guitar teaching magazine/app available anywhere. A seriously well presented teaching tool for guitarists of all levels. I love it and am learning so many new skills. Well done! ### 5/5 — Happy *2018-09-14* Just what I've been looking for. Thank you for the free issues!!! ### 5/5 — I love it *2017-05-02, version 7.8.2* Excellent material for someone who wants to learn how to play guitar. Lots of easy to understand videos and diagrams.
