Guitar Tricks

Core Learning System Pick this if you want one subscription you will not outgrow. The Core Learning System walks a beginner through short, incremental videos, starting with Guitar Fundamentals and then branching out into styles such as rock, country and blues, with downloadable tabs and, on lessons that have them, jam tracks to practice over. The app promises actual songs from the very start, and the library behind it runs to thousands of lessons, so the first year is covered too. The catch is the interface: the site can feel crowded and hard to navigate, and a newcomer has to resist wandering off the core path. A free trial lets you test the first lessons before paying.
