Testimonials

I love the site — the G-Plus Songs are phenomenal. The ability to loop sections and slow them down, plus have a professional walk you through it and explain what's happening and suggest fingering is invaluable. This is the best guitar site on the web!

— Brent N.

I've been using the tabs and lessons at GuitarInstructor.com since 2008. I love the diversity in styles and topics covered and really enjoy the new G-Plus song lessons!

— Dave N.

I used to fight through poorly written, online guitar tabs only to set myself up for pain by wasting hours learning partially correct songs and riffs. With GuitarInstructor.com, I immediately knew I was getting exactly what I was looking for — high-quality content
