Hi.

not sure if you can count this as a success story, but here goes:

I've been playing guitar for 35 years. My dad showed me the chords to House of the Rising Sun and for a very long time afterwards I tried to learn from books. There was no internet back then. But for the next 30 years almost I played the same rubbish over and over without making any significant progress. I signed up to Guitar Tricks back in 2011 or 2013 for a year and in that time learned to play a song all the way through for the first time in my life. I didn't have the commitment back then to keep going, but the addition of some songs that interested me over the last couple of years pushed me to sign up again. I had almost completely forgotten how to play everything I had previously learned, but I can now fully and correctly play the following:

Boston - More Than a Feeling and Rock and Roll Band.(both rated 5 guitars)

Rick Springfield - Jessie's Girl

Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take It

Judas Priest - Living After Midnight

John Lennon - Starting Over

Del Shannon - Runaway

The Clash - I Fought the Law.

Ryan Adams - New York, New York.

I've also learned bits and pieces of other songs and lessons. I can categorically say that this has been a result of GT's excellent tutors and if you're willing to put a bit of time and effort in, you can at the very least get to where I am.

As I said before, not sure if this is what you'd consider a success story, but I'm personally feeling quite chuffed. 😁
