[@theblytonian3906]

Actually it's not ..IMO&E. I started out on Justin Guitar. Today JustinGuitar.com is neither free nor the best, but if it seems that way to you, enough said. What it is good for is 'testing the water' when you first start out as a beginner with his *limited* free access material, but anyone who persists with guitar beyond his cowboy chord lessons will discover before long that to access the meat in the stew requires payment. Previously it was buy Justin Guitar books per module (expensive from outside outside the UK). Now its a modular subscription model similar to Jamplay. Having tried the three major sites along with alternative others and You Tube, Justin Guitar's formerly more culturally conventional English orientated teaching methodology I liked, but in its latest incarnation revamp, behind the visual facelift, he is dumbing the presentations down to to the lowest common mass market IQ denominator clearly targeting today's dominant McDemographic. Whilst it does follow a US culturally orientated teaching style, *if I'm paying* and I am putting my money where my mouth is with an annual subscription model, *Guitar Tricks* is the #1 clear winner hands down. Comprehensive and professional with *an all inclusive package* representing superior value. Whilst inarguably Justin Guitar does have useful tools and material within its free access which I co-access regularly, it's mcmodule approach is very much now just like Jamplay without the glam visuals and hero worship. No "Would you like fizzy drink or fries with your McFat burger today" scripted flim flam value adding for me thanks. Pass me the meat 'n taters please.

Fender Play keeps it light, breezy and fun. Love the way lessons are organized and the way Fender Play provides a consistent and structured environment to learn guitar. It really makes it's easy to learn at your own pace and keep track of your achievements.

[@hickrants4882]

Honestly fender play’s better and easier to use then KZbin tutorials

[@raspberyldesign]

I'm a total newbie who tried both. I love fender more because it teaches you one chord and then teaches one song that uses it. In addition, all the videos gets harder gradually. You can actually feel your own process. It is better to learn one chord in a song and use it in a song with the ones you learned before. So, you can learn a chord, compare it with other chords and improve your transicion and muscle memory. I liked JustinGuitar and Marty Music but similar to other online guitar courses, I find myself holding the guitar and not playing it. Most teachers just talk about the guitar, the pick, reading the tab, ways to play better... They show either one chord or all the chords in one video without any sample music. I cannot learn all of the chords at the same time. And, I cannot learn one chord just by playing that only one chord without any music. The others gets repetitive a lot, which is too boring.

[@tylerlao9574]

I have fender play and I’ve played on there for more than 14 days and I’ve learned a lot from the instrocters

Ive come back to Guitar after 20 years at age 54 and didn't learn a lot first time around. Now with renewed enthusiasm i have subscribed to JamPlay and think its superb. Love the structure, just what i need and am loving tracking my progress. i have learnt way more in 2 months than i ever learn before. 100's of fantastic guitar teachers, many professional musicians and simply 1000's of videos to learn from covering practically every genre. I hope to see myself in a years time in a place i never thought i would ever get to :-) Superb ! Ps i have no test this company just saw a couple of great reviews and went with it. LOVING IT !

[@ni777ful]

I went through the trial when I was pretty much an absolute beginner, a little under 2 years ago now, and I've gotta say, if you already know your open chords then you're already past needing anything Fender Play has to offer

Two months in, I am still enjoying it and learning.

Great video. I am following Justins beginner course, and was getting tons of these Fender Play adds, so great to see a comparison video, thx!

[@Alder2022]

I like it so far. Finishing Level 1 now. I have used all sorts of resources, in-person lessons included, but what i am discovering is that it all comes down to your desire. Sure, in-person would have worked long term if i put the time in. Sure, Justin could teach me if i committed to following his videos. It all comes down to choice. I have been working at home for a year and tired of staring at my guitar hanging on the wall and not having someone to play it well. So i recently joined Fender Play. I am past my 2 week trail and just finishing level1. So what? I’m also a lefty playing righty, so what? Everyone’s Path is different, and for different reasons too. I like the format. I like the structure. I am learning all over again, which is fine by me cause i need to work on technique. Again, I’m a lefty. I paid for a year. I hope to stick with it this time. I want to. Even if vaccines make me go back to the office, my commitment is to continue to play. That’s the plan anyways. Whatever works for you, do it. Come on, $40/ year. That’s less than one bottle of decent whiskey or a nice dinner out with your +1. Make the leap. I feel this time, it’s worth it.

[@PaulHikes2]

Fender Play is outstanding, IMO. Right now it's 3 months free, and you don't need to provide any payment info. Remember, this is for beginners. I've been playing for a year, using various free KZbin resources, including Justin Guitar (which is good). In 3 weeks, I've gotten through 2 of the 5 levels and have improved a lot. Redlight Blue is wrong about part of his review. A beginner cannot get through all of this in two weeks, unless they are a guitar prodigy. This is setup in a way that it can help many users learn to PLAY guitar, rather than learn to play a song. Each lesson has a module that is an instructor lead tutorial, followed by a module that consists of tab with a click track of that tutorial. It's done in a way that encourages repeated drilling of the concepts until you get it right. On the downside, the instructors are a bit dry. That may not suit everyone. What is nice, however is that when you don't feel like going through new lessons or repeating old ones to get concepts down, there is a decent library of songs and riffs setup in the same format: tutorial, then tab for drilling. All things considered, for 90 days free it's fantastic. And once my 90 days are up, I'll go right over to Justin Guitar and will pick up at where ever my playing level at that time dictates.

Songsterr all the way. Pay the 5 bucks and it's glorious, plus it's actually yours now. The best part is that when you see something you don't recognize, you can be like "wtf is that" and look up, for example, "What is the black diamond in guitar tabs?", and you learn by curiosity and anger

[@megatronbee]

Also, it isn't necessary to buy the app, since they have an app for the web browser version, which has everything as well: looping, speed percentage, soloing an instrument, retuning the song to your guitar's current tuning. It's great. They aren't paying me, I just really love it since it's the best thing since Guitar Pro went subscription based.

[@MichaelJohn-s5q]

you have missed one major point, there’s ukulele and bass as well as guitar for the same price, and two weeks for 0-level 5 your kidding right! The lessons are 5 minutes or 15 minutes long and for busy parents and professionals it’s easy to fit in, and as it’s fender, two things you know it’s the correct technique and the resources are convenient packaged, the practice playbacks are ace. I don’t have time to trawl the internet looking for courses and this is perfect can’t recommend enough. And for completeness I have looked at Yousician and Justingutar as well still prefer fender.

I think Fender Play offers something that free resources, even ones like JustinGuitar, don't have: structure. Fender Play is super ultra MEGA structured, with clear paths that are easy to follow, which takes a lot of the load off. Personally maybe I wouldn't get it, but there's definitely a pretty strong case for it, so I wouldn't dismiss it.

[@alexandrebegin5099]

i found that many of the tabs on fender play were incorrect, sometimes the right notes on the wrong string, also they ignore drop tuning especially for the bass lessons

[@deldia]

Independent works betting because people buy in to real personalities when it come to lessons. For guitars people want brands but for lessons they want individuals. Look at Scott’s bass lessons who has a big personality. I believe Fender actually consulted with Scott about launching Fender play.

[@pkbreeze08]

I have KZbin Premium, so I haven't seen this advert, thankfully, as I'm sure it would have been every other advert I see. Would you say that finding a good guitar tutorial dedicated KZbin channel combined with something like Justin Guitar would be the best option?
