We live in a golden age of guitar education.
Only a couple of decades ago, if you wanted to learn guitar, you had to find someone who could show you, drop the needle over and over to learn parts by ear, or spend $50, $60, or more on various instructional VHS tapes and DVDs (remember those?).
Now, with a few clicks, you can find lessons and content - both free or for a fee - on technique, theory, scales, chords, progressions, which overdrive is the best, and more.
The bad thing is that there’s almost too much choice when selecting guitar lessons online, not to mention the wide-varying quality. Anyone with a guitar, a cheap webcam, and a YouTube account can offer a lesson, but that doesn’t mean they’re qualified!
Since Equipboard helps guitarists from all walks of life make the best gear choices, we figured we could help you make the best choice regarding online guitar instruction.
We have several guitarists on the Equipboard team, and between us we’ve tried nearly every method there is to learn and improve our guitar skills. We combined our experience with scouring the web to find out what actual guitar lesson students are saying about their experiences - both good and bad. Basically we did many hours research so you don’t have to!
Before you dive in, we’ve summarized our findings in the chart below.
Now, you might be thinking, aren’t there more than five guitar lesson websites out there? There certainly are - in fact, there are dozens of websites, and even more if you count apps available on iPhone and Android. We signed up for all of them and took them for a test drive. Truth be told, some are total trash. Several are pretty decent, but in the end what we found is five websites emerged as the clear winners when it comes to online guitar lessons.
If you only take one thing away from this article, it’s this: Guitar Tricks and TrueFire are the top two membership-based websites. They’ve both been around for a really long time, they’re good at what they do, and they have generous free trials to let you try them out. The best free option out there is without a doubt Justin Guitar, which has YouTube-based video lessons taught by Australian guitarist Justin Sandercoe. Not the best lesson site in the world, but the fact that it’s free & popular makes it a no-brainer to include. ArtistWorks is also worth a long look, and what’s cool about them is you can record yourself playing, and an instructor (sometimes a famous guitarist!) sends you back feedback.
Use this chart to familiarize yourself with the lay of the land, and continue reading for our full reviews and pros and cons of each.

Learning the guitar is a tricky beast. It’s too familiar for guitar players to get stuck, hit plateaus, get comfortable, or lose motivation. From personal experience, the best way to improve is to seek out a structured, planned resource of online guitar lessons. Novice guitarists tend to seek out free resources first. And while there are many free lessons on YouTube, most guitar channels lack the structure needed to get beginners on the right path. If you spend time reading forums, beginner guitarists often wish they had shelled out the $20 per month for a structured, step-by-step program taught by reputable instructors through an online service or one-on-one instruction.
Why learn guitar online from one of the services below? To put it into perspective, a one-hour lesson with a guitar teacher is anywhere from $40 to $100 per lesson, with the bill quickly increasing if there are frequent lessons. For a comparatively lower monthly fee, you get unlimited access to a site’s entire catalog of material. Not only that, but you can do the lessons from the comfort of your home - no need to drive anywhere! Also, if I need to review something again, I don’t necessarily want to wait until the next scheduled lesson; I can review it at my leisure. If you’ve got a hectic schedule, online guitar lessons will feel like a much easier option.
For more info check out our guide: How Much Do Guitar Lessons Cost?
Everybody is now offering a subscription to use their services (from streaming services to recording software to virtual amp plugins, and who knows what’s next!) The services below have subscription options that give you access to varying degrees of content, though only one (TrueFire + JamPlay) still offers courses à la carte. Subscriptions can be convenient, but they can become pricey.
Here’s what we mean. Let’s say that you want to take a course on country guitar and decide to subscribe to a service (TrueFire + JamPlay All Access, just for this example). The subscription is $29 per month. On TrueFire, that same course is maybe $40 to own and have lifetime access. Let’s say life is busy, and it takes you two months to complete the course satisfactorily. Those two months cost you $60, rather than buying the course for $40 and saving $20.
Suppose you have a lot of time to dedicate to courses and fly through them, getting in two, three, four, or more a month (and if you have that much free time, what’s your secret?!). Then, the subscription is more worth it.
Overall, how you choose to pay is entirely up to you. If you feel you’re getting value for your money, then subscriptions aren’t all bad. If you have the purchase option, maybe do a little back-of-the-napkin math, look at your calendar, and see if you can save a few bucks. Ultimately, it’s all your call for what fits your needs best.
A question as old as time: which one to start with? There are certainly some advantages and disadvantages to both.
To start on acoustic means that you don’t need the added expense of an amplifier, and it’s more travel-friendly. The strings and tension tend to feel heavier, which smaller hands may need some time adjusting.
Electric guitars are, by comparison, much easier to play since the strings and tension tend to feel lighter than acoustic guitars. However, parents looking to buy their child an electric will also have to consider an amplifier and cables, which can add to the cost.
Beginners often ask if they should start out learning on an acoustic or electric guitar. The answer is both “it depends”, and “it doesn’t really matter!” Simply take a look at this list of famous guitarists and their first guitars - there’s not really much of a pattern, with all of them learning on something slightly different.
The most straightforward answer is to get the guitar that will make you want to play it. Go acoustic if you want to be the next Ed Sheeran or Andy McKee, or electric if you want to be the next Hendrix, Page, or Blackmore!
Now that we’ve covered those bases, let’s look at the best options!
Without further ado, check out our reviews of the 5 best online resources to learn guitar!

Guitar Tricks is likely the best site for you if you're a beginner! What makes this site stand out from others is its CORE LEARNING SYSTEM, a set of courses organized like a proper curriculum that takes you through some fundamentals on the instrument, then lets you continue your path into a specific genre (either blues, country, rock or acoustic guitar - a new path added since our previous review).
Someone who needs a bit of structure in their learning will be at home here. While TrueFire offers learning paths, the approach taken on Guitar Tricks seems more structured and logical.
If you’re just starting out, by starting with the CORE LEARNING SYSTEM you’ll be well on your way to playing chords and basic solos.
Equally helpful are the guitar tools available for paid subscribers, including a scale and chord finder, tuner, and jam station (giving you access to play-along tracks from various lessons). The practice reminders are new on their platform, allowing you to receive SMS reminders to practice and log your practice time on a calendar! This is an excellent tool if you need a nudge to get your hands on the instrument.
The videos feature speed and looping controls to help you nail the parts on the screen. Tabs are included, but don’t follow along with the performance. The instructors are also very knowledgeable and can communicate well; just don’t expect to see big names like you would on other platforms.
The lessons also cap out at the intermediate player, so this may not be the best choice if you’re already adept at the instrument.
Guitar Tricks contains some of the best and most organized online guitar lessons. It’s our winner regarding the best paid sites for beginners to learn. The Core Learning System is outstanding, and the monthly membership price is fair, considering the content and quality of guitar instruction you get.
You have absolutely nothing to lose by trying the Guitar Tricks free trial, and you can read our in-depth Guitar Tricks review if you'd like to learn more.

| Link: | Go To TrueFire |
Since the last time we posted about online guitar courses, two of the biggest companies, TrueFire and JamPlay, have merged to form one primary educational resource for guitar players. One subscription gives you over 80,000 video lessons, 1,500 courses from over 400 top educators, 30,000 tabs, and 20,000 jam tracks. We’d say that it should keep you busy for a while!
Because the catalogs are combined, you can access the learning paths that were a key part of JamPlay, outlining an order of select courses to take and suggested supplemental courses to further your chops. The first beginner's course is free for everyone and is well laid out in its instruction and concepts. Things are explained in a way that beginners will understand and should have them playing in no time!
If you’re an intermediate or advanced player looking to copy your hero’s sound and style, you can search by instructor to see what courses they have available (and there are many to choose from). Be mindful that some players may be better instructors than others (which is normal). The online tools available make it helpful by letting you slow down (or speed up parts) loop sections, all with interactive tabs to follow.
If you don’t want to take a lesson, you can play along to several jam tracks available (both free and paid). All of them are high quality, include charts to see the changes, and come in various styles. There’s no shortage here!
TrueFire's lesson interface is great. It has multiple camera angles, variable playback speed, a metronome, sheet music, and tabs.
We only wish they had combined everything into a cohesive brand. Both JamPlay and TrueFire still have their respective sites and apps, which made figuring out pricing and content confusing. Your best bet to register would be here. You also have the option to purchase courses à la carte rather than subscribing.
With the combined catalogs and tools, JamPlay + TrueFire is a juggernaut of content. Beginners may find this site quite daunting, but for intermediate or advanced players looking for specific lessons or who want to learn from their heroes, this site is a great stop. Since merging, the cost-to-value ratio has markedly improved, making this an excellent deal for those considering a subscription. The learning paths from JamPlay are also reasonably easy to locate, making it easy for beginners to jump in and give it a go.

Equipboard's got you covered with some coupon codes for TrueFire guitar lessons:
TrueFire promo codes:

| Link: | Go To Fender Play |
Fender has made the jump into guitar education with their Fender Play service.
After you answer a few questions to determine your motivations for playing the instrument (electric or acoustic guitar, bass or ukulele), playing level, and favorite genre, the site curates content to help you get the most out of it.
Their learning paths are well organized by level, each containing different courses. These range from chords to single-note and strumming exercises to bits of songs, all done to let beginners ease into the instrument and play songs and riffs quickly.
Most lessons come with a practice mode that allows you to follow along to interactive tabs and backing tracks. Speed and looping tools are also available to help you nail the part.
There is also the very cool feedback mode, where you play into your computer’s microphone while doing the exercise, and the site will give you feedback on your performance and areas for improvement. This excellent feature will help those decide if they can move on to the next lesson.
Once you're ready to assume your rock god status, you can also learn and play an extensive catalog of songs (most with lessons)!
The videos are high-definition with multiple camera angles, including picking hand and fingering positions. Below the videos, chord charts, and tabs are clear and helpful. The ability to make the video window smaller while looking at the tablature is a nice touch, making it easier to practice, too.
Where the site surprises us, though, is in the overall price. Once a relatively inexpensive option, Fender Play costs $26.99 monthly or $209.99 annually. Considering this site is mainly geared towards beginners, this is a tough sell for intermediate and advanced players. Particularly since, for a few dollars more, you get a massive catalog of lessons and learning with JamPlay + TrueFire or free lessons online with JustinGuitar (albeit without the interactive tools).
Fender Play is an excellent way to get introduced to guitar lessons from an industry leader. The guided paths are conducive to making skills instantly useful by incorporating songs that use the techniques taught. However, considering the price and amount of content you get, you may be better served with one of the other services on this list.

| Mobile: | No official apps, but their website is mobile-friendly |
| Link: | Go To ArtistWorks |
ArtistWorks offers several great courses from various instructors (including well-known professionals such as Paul Gilbert and Jared James Nichols). You can select classes based on the type of guitar (acoustic, electric, dobro, etc.) and the style you wish (Rock, Blues, Bluegrass, Classical, etc.) Once you select your course, you will have access to the curriculum, PDFs of study materials, and the ability to get feedback from your instructor.
Yep - Actual feedback! Every course has a section where you can submit a question or play some of the material for feedback and receive a response from your instructor.
The courses are well presented with very knowledgeable instructors. The videos are well shot, and the lesson materials are well presented (PDFs for offline usage!) You can access slower versions of most lessons and performances (we saw no looping feature). There is no interactive tab with each video, so if you want to follow along, you’ll need to have the PDF for that lesson open or printed. The video exchanges with the instructor are also archived, meaning that if you have a question about a specific lesson, someone may have already asked it, and a response may already be up.
There are some beginner courses, but something needs to indicate a learning path. You may want to consider another service if you're just starting out. Speaking of video exchanges with instructors, we hate to say it, but there’s a catch.
Remember the pricing above that mentioned benefits? You must be an annual subscriber to access VIP content and backing tracks and submit unlimited videos. A quarterly subscriber can submit up to five videos per course (but cannot access backing tracks or VIP content). Being a monthly subscriber means no video exchanges with the instructor.
Video responses are also dependent on your instructor’s schedule. In the course we tried, the first video from the instructor was him saying that he’ll be out on tour until the end of February and would appreciate any non-urgent videos to wait until his return. This is a bit of a downer if you want quick feedback.
ArtistWorks approach combines great lessons with fantastic instructors in a more communal environment. The fact that you can get actual feedback from an instructor (including the big names) is a real draw. This may be a good option if you don’t mind paying for a year upfront, especially if the content appeals to you.

There are YouTube guitar channels, and then there’s Justin Guitar!
Justin Sandercoe - better known as Justin Guitar - has gathered a substantial following for his online guitar lessons. He hosts two YouTube channels: - JustinSandercoe (boasting over a million subscribers) is the main lessons channel focusing on theory and technique. - JustinGuitarSongs is - you guessed it - centered around teaching you how to play songs.
If you read our Free vs Paid Lessons section, you know our thoughts about free lessons needing more structure and depth than the paid courses provide. Thankfully, Justin has cracked the code to organize material logically and concisely to guide players through his lessons on his YouTube channel and main website. For example, are you a total beginner? Head to his Beginner’s Course section. Do you want to focus on theory or technique? Head over to that section.
Speaking of his website, several practice tools are available, such as a metronome, chord library, and strumming machine (some free, some requiring a subscription). There are also sections for that. His main website is mobile-friendly, and six mini-apps are available in the Apple App Store for a few dollars each.
A Justin Guitar app is available that gives you access to his content in the same organized way as his site and YouTube channel. Much of it mirrors what he has available for free, making us wonder if using the paid app is worth it.
So, are the lessons good? In a word, yes, and being free makes them even better. Justin enjoys his craft, and his genuineness comes through in his video lessons. Seeing his friendly face as you work through video after video is always a good feeling. He keeps his lessons short and easily digestible.
We recommend Justin Guitar mainly because it’s free (primarily if you use anything other than his official app); it’ll only cost you time (there are a few advertisements here and there - hey, it’s YouTube, but nothing excessive). But because your time is precious, here’s what we recommend: If you’re a beginner, jump on the Beginner’s Course and see how you like it. Stick with it for a few days, and determine if the loose structure & organization work with your learning style. Even if you opt for paid lessons, know that you can always come back to JustinGuitar anytime since it’s completely free and everything is on YouTube.
These resources are also great, but didn't quite make the cut for our top five guitar lessons.
Yousician offers a versatile platform for aspiring guitarists, providing a blend of structured lessons and interactive features. Its user-friendly interface caters to beginners and intermediate players alike, making it accessible to a wide audience. The app's extensive library of songs spanning many genres offers ample opportunities for practice. Additionally, Yousician's feedback system, which utilizes audio recognition technology, provides instant guidance on playing accuracy and timing.
One of Yousician's strengths lies in its gamified approach to learning, incorporating elements of progress tracking and achievement rewards. This gamification aspect can motivate you to practice regularly and strive for improvement. The app's ability to adapt difficulty levels based on user performance gives you a personalized learning experience.
However, some users may find Yousician's model to be a drawback, as access to premium features such as unlimited lesson time and additional songs requires a paid subscription. While the free version offers limited content, it may be sufficient for casual learners or those on a tight budget. Additionally, while Yousician's feedback system is generally accurate, it may occasionally struggle to recognize nuances in playing technique, leading to occasional frustrations for users seeking precise feedback.
While Yousician provides a structured learning path, some users may find the lessons lacking in depth compared to other guitar instructional methods. Supplementing Yousician with other resources may be necessary for those seeking more comprehensive learning experiences.
Overall, Yousician serves as a decent tool for beginners and intermediate guitarists seeking a convenient and engaging way to learn and practice. Its gamified approach, adaptive learning system, and extensive song library make it a compelling option for those looking for a gamified system to learn guitar.
While the sites mentioned above work great for those who work best independently, some may need the immediate feedback that only a private teacher can provide.
Thanks to the Internet (and possibly some due to the COVID-19 pandemic), there are several online options for private instruction. Geography is no longer a hindrance in finding someone; you don’t need to settle for the one or two people in your town who give lessons if you feel they’re not a good fit for your level and ambitions.
If you want one-on-one instruction, various “marketplace” sites, such as SuperProf, TakeLessons.com, and Preply, help you find a teacher. Payment plans, options, and rates vary widely from teacher to teacher (though some sites do let teachers offer a free first lesson to see if it will be a fit). If you need one-on-one interaction but don’t want to leave your house, the option is there, and it may be the best one for you.
Whether you’re taking a course on a paid service, through videos on YouTube, or privately via videoconferencing, finding the right teacher is just as important as finding the correct method that works for you.
When looking for any teacher, some factors you need to consider are:
If you can say yes to these factors, you know you’ve found the right teacher.
While these resources will undoubtedly give you the knowledge you need to grow as a player, you must also put the time to work that knowledge into results. We know that life today is busy, and the reality of putting in hours of practice a day may not be in the cards for you. However, like the apple that keeps the doctor away, daily practice is key regardless of the amount of time that you have. You only have five minutes? Then, practice for those five minutes. A half an hour the next day? Go for it! Practicing is a lot like studying for an exam; it’s better to work a bit every day than to try and cram everything in one go. So, find those loose minutes daily and use them to develop your rock god skills!
So go forth! Learn! Explore! A world of guitar is just waiting for you to discover!
Got it narrowed down to two, but can't decide? Check out these guides:
A heartwarming story, Brian May actually built his first electric guitar (which he would go on to use with Queen) with his dad. It was intentionally designed to allow feedback after May was inspired by the playing of Jeff Beck. He also received a Spanish style acoustic guitar as a birthday present, though he quickly wanted to move on to an instrument more suited towards the type of music he wanted to play.
Michael bought his first guitar, a Fender California Series Stratocaster in Candy Apple Red, in 1998. He likes rock of all types, from classic to punk to metal. Michael co-founded Equipboard to satisfy his curiosity around what gear his guitar heroes use. Read more
Giulio co-founded Equipboard with his friend Michael. He plays the piano, guitar, drums, and had a brief stint signed to a label as an electronic music producer. Read more
Kevin Daoust is a guitarist, guitar educator and writer based in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada. When not tracking guitars for artists around the world, or writing music-related articles around the internet, he can be seen on stage with Accordion-Funk legends Hey, Wow, the acoustic duo Chanté et Kev, as well as a hired gun guitarist around Quebec and Ontario. He holds a Bachelor of Music in Guitar Performance from Carleton University in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Read more
Artistworks is the best. Rock Guitar school with Paul Gilbert 20/mo with video exchanges with paul himself.
How about ultimate-guitar - Tab pro?
I signed up for JamPlay after I saw it here and while it says they have beginner to advanced lessons I would say it basically all beginner to medium, but it is a great site for those starting or for those who don't know too much music theory or playing in other genres. If you know enough that you could probably teach guitar than this site isn't for you.
My favorite free guitar lessons set is AndyGuitar dot co dot uk Something about this guy just seems comfortable and directly to the point. I was not impressed with Justin. I think I felt he was too random in many of his comments. Andy Crowley is like the next door teenager who is super jazzed about guitar and is happy to share with you so you can become as good as he is, except he is actually a well accomplished musician and teacher. He is definitely geared toward the beginner guitarist -> intermediate guitarist. Very pleasant to learn with. I would love to hear your review.
For years and years I'd followed Andrew Wasson on his Creative Guitar Studio YouTube channel. Andrew is a G.I.T. graduate, very competent at explaining guitar concepts & guitar /music theory, (plus he's a masterful guitarist). I feel that he's one of (if not the), best guitar teachers online. In summer 2016, I joined his membership website and have been studying his online courses, (Intermediate & Advanced). He also does Skype too. If you want a solid guitar course with a lot of intermediate and advanced content, (based /taught on the premise of the actual G.I.T. curriculum - from a real graduate), then Andrew's THE guy - above anyone else I've ever seen. Watch him on YouTube for awhile like I did, and you'll see what I mean.
Nate Savages Guitarlessons.com and Truefire.com are also great sites to learn from. They both have great reputations in the online guitar community. Guitartricks is great for beginners too.
Pretty short list, I think there are more good sites. The ones I used most are theguitarlesson dot com (as a beginner) and guitartricks dot com (later to learn blues), the prior isn't even on your list :-D Someone mentioned Andrew Wasson, I think he's a bit boring. Andyguitar is ok as a very beginner, but I just didn't click with the guy.
You have a nice tight list of very affordable guitar courses here. Kudos.
Just ... how is the Music Institute Online online[dot]mi[dot]edu not on this list? They have Scott Henderson and Oz Noy, each teaching separate courses that totally rock!
I mean OK, they are not the cheapo type courses you have up on this page. But the course quality of each is simply terrific. A friend of mine took the Oz Noy course and in very little time, she was able to do a crazy Dueling Guitar thing with me. It definitely improved her skills.
It's really great list, no doubt. To me, particularly, I get use two websites that helps me a lot and have excellent resources besides videos. E-Chords and Guitar Camera guitarcamera dot com.
Truefire must be in this list.
Whaaat?!?!?
1) TrueFire 2) JamTrackCentral (JTC) 3) Lick Library
In my opinion, those are the real deal...
Fender play has intermediate and advanced lessons. You just have to look for them. They have entire songs, note for note, so it's not all targeted at beginners as you say. You just need to spend more time there.
If you want to play... 1 read notation. 2 listen. 3 pkay consistantly... play along with the tv. 3 be good at it. You will know if you're good at it in a year. If you dedicate yourself you'll be good in a year and keep getting better. If you apply yourself and still suck? Try a different instrument. It's easy to learn but hard to mastrr.
Pickup Music looks interesting, a lot more modern players and styles. I tried TrueFire but it was very blues rock based with little else.
No mention to PickupMusic?
Another one to check out on Youtube is Steve Stine Guitar Lessons(also has a paid site Guitar Zoom). He has a series of videos for beginners, but there's something for everybody. Lots of useful and easy to understand info. Hacks for improving solos, etc.
My Personal favorite app/ site to use for tabs is Songsterr, And my god do y'all need to check this site out. Free tabs that you can play along to, look at different parts/ instruments etc. I use it to learn everything, it's best on windows and android, try it trust me. it is like a whole different app on ipad it's a lot more restricted, only letting you view previews. not sure about lunix etc. But please give it a try, it's free, and whoever made it is a legend.
Jake Lizzio Youtube?
pickupmusic is excellent, you should add it!
