Hi Bryan

I have been playing the guitar for some time now, and I have tried to learn from various books, but it did not make any sense, and basically knew the cowboy chords. I could play a couple riffs here and there but no full songs. With the whole COVID thing I decided to take my playing more serious and started looking for a online training aid. That is where I came accross guitartricks. I have been a member since October 2020 and I must tell you the instructors on this website is world class. I have never loved playing the guitar more. I have worked through Fundamentals 1 & 2, Rock 1 & 2 and started on Blues 1, and I can tell you I have never had so much fun. My list is currently at 12 songs that I can play from beginning to end from some of by favourite bands: Blink 182, ACDC, Offsrping. I hve learned so much from this website and taking into account the cost of the monthly subscription it's basically a give away. The most important thing I can sy is to have fun and set goals and work towards meeting your goals. And lastly practice, practice, parctice. Some of the things might seem out of reach now, but if you put in the effort it will eventually all fall in place.
