Learned More with Guitar Tricks than with Learn and Master Guitar.

Hello everyone. I just wanted to say that I originally started to learn with the Learn and Master Guitar DVD set. Although it was ok, I have learned much more with the lessons here and have found the Core Learning System to be much more to my liking towards advancing as a player.

Now, instead of learning nothing but public domain tidbits of songs, I am learning popular songs that make learning far more enjoyable. I believe Guitar Tricks is the best way to learn the guitar and am glad I put away my Learn and Master DVD's which were boring me to the point where I was not making progress like I have been here.

If I did not make the switch, I might not know what I know now. I am not bashing the product, but simply stating that now that I have used both, Guitar Tricks easily wins!

I post this in case anyone else was in this dilemma of which way to go.

For anybody that's interested, the two books of the above Gibson course; the Lesson Book (109 pages) and the Bonus Resources book (189 pages) are available as free PDF downloads at Gibson's learnandmaster.com site.

I think it's easier to find them with a Google search than trying to dig 'em up at the site itself. The working hits from Google look like these (but I don't think the urls below will work):

Jpolito,

It's good to hear that you are finding GT is moving you along again :)

I'm sure, though, that your previous learning set the foundation for what you are learning here. All learning is valuable.

I agree with you. ALL learning is valuable for sure.

Thanks for the kind words jpolito! We respect Learn & Master a lot, so it's always great to hear that we're as good as or better than the competition.

Here's to continued learning! :D

Thank you Guitar Tricks Administrator. This site is the absolute best out there! I love it!

I'd be lying if I said didn't invest in guitar books that covered extra techniques or ideas of mastering the fretboard, vibrato, string-bending and trills etc...

However, it is interesting how Guitar Tricks is at the heart of it all. The rest just fall into line and like a stack of dominoes would collapse without its' lead.

PS I know I will definitely continue to subscribe in years to come.

Me too Axeman81.

@ jpolito :cool:

Hi jpolito, I was in the same boat, trying other learning systems.
I came upon Guitar Tricks more by mistake than design. Having become a full member, have not looked back. Have even recommended this site to work mates. Have now branched out slightly, learning bass guitar.

Excellent Nomad2! Good luck on your journey with guitar and Bass guitar too!
