It is almost impossible to cancel your membership. The App refuses to acknowledge I have a membership even though i gave access to the lessons. Guitar Tricks will automatically renew your membership and debit your account ; but will not reply to any emails. I am having to try and block any more debits from account. Caveat emptor.
I think the app would be better if I could use the looper function that's supposed to be available , that was a big plus for me to subscribe to guitar tricks , but I'll see how I go and decide whether to cancel b4 the 60 days end , as I say lessons are clear and well done , just not being able to loop sections of lessons is there big downfall , as you can loop sections of songs etc on youtube , and that's free . Thanx
Overall this app is mediocre. You can find all the content that is online but it is not arranged well. You cant filter more than 1 level and you cant search the content. You can view the notation but cant zoom in on it. It is ashame as there is a huge amount of content on GT but finding it and using it on the mobile version is difficult.
content is good but the app needs work. Theres no way to mark which lessons are completed, you just have to remember which point you are up to everytime you want to practice, also video player is not very good and loads at a random point of the video instead of starting at the start. Also would be good to go to the next video within each lesson from fullscreen, instead of minimising, clicking next video, then maximising the video to full screen.
What I really like about Guitar tricks is it's structure. It's core skills, is a logical easy to follow step by step method to teach you guitar from first chord, rythm etc. There after it continues this method with acoustic guitar, country, blues and rock. This means you wiĺl always have something new to learn. It all so has a great selection of song lessons, and techniques. It's ideal for beginners to intermediates.
I had high hopes for this app. I have about a year of playing guitar and subscribed to this course for the practise songs to play along with. It started off well as you get clear lessons on how to play the song which builds up to a jamming session. But during the jamming session, there is no onscreen indication of what chord comes next. You either have to remember the whole sequence or write it down. There is a notation page but it doesn't scroll with the song. Disappointing.
Have been mucking around for years with guitar. Decided to pay for the whole package as I have never got anywhere. First song I tried (Judas Priest) had me playing along in minutes. There are no short cuts to learning to play as I have discovered but there are different ways of learning and keeping interest. I wish I had have done this years ago. Try it for a month, if you don't like it cancel it. Think of the time you will save than trying to find something for free.
This back in the day was by far the greatest guitar app of all however a lot of their content was removed due to copyright issues, sadly now they no longer have a lot of songs covered but I guess there's still a bit of theory lessons and a few songs. I don't recommend this if you've been told about its huge library of songs, you will get disappointed and there better online courses for in depth theory such as True Fire (although they don't have an updated app).
Pretty good app that syncs up with the Web version on pc so I can pickup where I left off. Have resubscribed for a second year. The big downside for the Android app is that there is no way to search for songs like there is on the web version. You have to scroll through 1000 plus songs! Otherwise I can't fault it really. Add a search bar and it'd be 5 stars 😁. Ps Also lyrics (also already available on web version) would be handy.
Atrocious app. This review is not of the service, but the app. It's pure garbage. Doesn't keep track of your progress and messes up the order of the lessons to the point where it skips ahead or knocks you back to stuff you've been through before. It marks parts as completed even though you've never been through them before and un marks things you've been through 2-3 times. Looks a lot better and more coherent if you go straight to the website. I've unistalled this junk and went there.
