I’ve been thinking about migrating TheGuitarLesson.com (which runs on WordPress) to HTTPS for quite a while now.

This upgrade is especially useful for our students with a slower Internet connection who experienced interruptions and lags while watching the videos.
You might not know that GuitarTricks was the first ever online video guitar lesson site. Things have really developed since then, not just on their site, but all across the Internet. They’ve been busy, and it really shows. They’ve managed to build a huge database of video lessons, both dedicated courses, and lately, specific guitar…
