User reviews

Outstanding instructional

This app is outstanding. It takes you from knowing nothing to playing fast. I love this coarse

App isn’t up to par

I’ve been using GT for a decade at least. I’ve learned so much and the instructors are fantastic. The website is good but the app is almost not worth having. The app should be better than the website at this point. The interface is terrible. This review isn’t for GT in general, that would get 10 stars! Please make the app useful. I tried it once and never went back.

Great but needs a UI refresh

Content is great, tutors are great, but this app is awful.

Great content terrible interface

Using these lessons on a computer presents reasonably well. The video can be viewed in parallel to the tabs. On an iPhone, however, the tablature is too small to read while the video is going. Even selecting full screen tabs retains the far too small print, forcing you to zoom in on selections and dragging manually. This is a terrible way to learn anything as 50% of your time is spend fiddling with the app instead of PLAYING YOUR GUITAR. Lessons content is fantastic.

App doesn’t keep track of your progress

The guitar tricks App has several challenges but the most frustrating quirk is the App doesn’t keep track of your progress. Each time you open the App it thinks you’re starting from the beginning and that you haven’t completed any courses
