(Our #2 Recommendation)
Guitar Tricks is
without a doubt my
personal favourite online guitar lesson
resource. I still use it on a
weekly,
even daily basis and is still rated as
my favourite of all of the online and offline resources available.
But don't take my word for it, read through this review and
decide for yourself.
Guitar Tricks has built up quite a
reputation over the years, dating
back to 1998
infact. It now boasts the
largest
online community of teachers, instructors,
technicians and students. The forum alone contains over 200,000 posts,
and
22,000 threads.
It caters for
complete
beginners, right through to people who have been learning
for
25+years
(professional).
But the one of the most important part of all of it is the price, which
we will get
to later on.
Key Features:
