Andy, You my friend are a wizard at instruction. I have just finished your 10 day starter course and already feel like I can play the guitar. Fantastic Andy. You should have seen my face when I pulled off Wild thing!

I have been playing for a couple of years now and felt that the Beginner's course might be too easy, but I decided to do the lessons anyway. I am amazed at how much I learned!

I could never have dreamed that in a short space of time I would actually be playing along with some of my favourite songs, but I am and I'm loving it. It's so much easier to learn chords while having fun learning songs, I'm hooked!

Having spent a good 2 years attempting to learn guitar through other programs such as fender play and Yousician, I found that I was making limited progress. Using Andy Guitar I was able to progress much faster. It's great learning with Andy and getting a feel for British rock!

Andy's emphasis on learning to play along to real songs and have fun as quickly as possible taught me to make the most of everything I learnt and gave me the confidence to play in public and even to start writing and recording my own songs!

The website with the dashboard facility is brilliant! It has allowed me to keep a close tab on my lessons and practice plans. Keep up the excellent work Andy and team!

I was amazed how quickly I was able to start playing real songs in a wide range of techniques and styles. Andy really understands how to teach beginners and has lots of courses with clear learning paths right through to intermediate, advanced and specific genres.

We had a wonderful time learning how to play the ukulele with Andy! My 11-year old son has gone from beginner to awesome in a short amount of time and I have been learning to play as well.

When my grandchildren ask me about what I did during the pandemic, I'm going to tell them about how I got stuck at my parents' house learning something I always wanted... music. I can't thank Andy enough!

I started as a beginner just over a year ago, his beginner course was simple to follow and soon had me strumming along to a few songs. I signed up for the full membership and now I'm learning more advanced acoustic guitar. The supporting Discord community is full of helpful folks and we all support each other.

I'm so glad I found Andy guitar. So many fantastic courses, I'm nearly 3 years with Andy now and I can honestly say to anyone serious about wanting to learn, join Andy Guitar! I've learnt so much and met so many good genuine friends. I'm now playing at an intermediate level and plan to stay with Andy and the team throughout my guitar journey.

Andy Guitar's AAA membership gives access to a vast array of beautifully presented courses, but the real benefit is being part of a supportive community. Accessible 24/7, to discuss your issues (and wins) with like minded individuals.

Tony Johnson

Best thing I did for my guitar journey was to join Andy. Andy's course/videos/resources/feedback are fab and his instruction is calm, clear and understandable. It's like having a private lesson and being part of a group course at the same time. He feeds back directly to your questions and queries.

Jo Brewin

Andy is the best online guitar teacher and I don't say this lightly. The lessons are well structured in a professional manner taking you from outright beginner to intermediate and beyond. Whether you are wanting to learn acoustic or electric he covers all aspects of playing.

I'm not naturally musical but this has really got me off to a great start. I think the subscription is good value because there is so much you can access and learn from. Highly recommended from me.

Andrew Hilton

Andy starts teaching from the 'This is a guitar' first step. He doesn't assume you know anything and covers it all. Very rich assortment of courses and song tutorials with the added bonus of a discord community where members can help and encourage each other.

Alan

The amount of courses and song videos is unbelievable and add to that the weekly online lesson that Andy takes himself makes learning the guitar a very enjoyable experience.
