Guitar Tricks is a program that is, in our opinion, designed for the guitar purist, or rather someone who realizes that learning guitar is a lifelong pursuit. Guitar Tricks has been around for awhile, since 1998, and have developed a pretty good approach to teaching guitar online. The concept is simple, instead of simply being treated like as a customer; you are invited to be member. Guitar Tricks is membership site that offers well designed courses that cover a wide range of styles for all ability levels. All you have to do to become a member is sign up. Once you have signed up, you will receive a no strings attached (no pun intended) free membership. As a free member you are eligible to receive 24 free lessons designed to help you start playing guitar.

As a paid member of Guitar Tricks you are offered almost every type of guitar instruction that you can imagine. Their programs include guitar lesson videos, tutorials and an abundance of quality content for anyone learning guitar. Full access membership to the entire site and all of the lessons is about $14.95 a month. This is a considerable bargain. Full members get access to over 3400 multimedia guitar lessons and over 40 instructors.

Guitar Tricks keeps their content fresh and offers new lessons every week. They have an almost endless amount of lessons. There are literally hundreds of lessons covering guitar theory, guitar chords, guitar exercises and guitar studio lessons. The videos are very high quality, and lessons that do not have video will have audio. The videos are all downloadable and Guitar Tricks will also supply you with a free offline viewer. This is good feature if you want to loop pieces of the video.

The lessons differ a little depending upon which instructor is giving the lesson. However, all the lessons are top notch, and many of the lessons have a graphic overlays that show what note is played and when. A great feature that helps when learning tricky licks.

Joining Guitar Tricks will give you access to the largest selection of lessons I have seen You will have access to the 24 free lessons. There is no long-term commitment at Guitar Tricks, you only have to sign up for one month at a time and can cancel whenever you like
