As a guitar teacher of 20+ years, I’ve seen my fair share of online lesson platforms come and go. One of the sites that stuck around is TrueFire.com. 52,000? Lessons from world-renowned artists like Steve Vai and Tommy Emmanuel? Sounds impressive… So for the last year or so, I’ve been using Truefire regularly for many…

I’m not sure if it was COVID that gave video-based guitar tutors a boost, or if they existed earlier, but it is definitely…
There are a LOT of guitar lesson YouTube channels created by guitar players of various skill levels. Some of them are advanced players, some, well, not so much.

Thousands of beginner guitar books (both acoustic and electric) are sold daily, despite the availability of the more modern form of learning guitar, online video tutorial sites. A lot has changed during my 25+ year guitar teaching career, but interestingly, but it looks like these learn guitar books are here to stay. For this reason, I thought…
Guitar instructors say that a good player is made in the practice room. This is because it’s the only place where you can build the muscle memory, stamina, and dexterity you need to advance your guitar skills. But the thing is, beginner guitar students often don’t know what they are supposed to practice. Even if…
TheGuitarLesson.com was started in 2008 as a membership site selling subscriptions to access video guitar lessons. Since then, over 100,000 paying members have paid for subscriptions on this site.
