Subject: Guitarists Anyone else use/like Truefire
I came across this site a while back and am something of a convert. To the extent that I now subscribe to it. Usually I am rather wary of internet offerings but I do think this is rather good. I have recommended it to quite a lot of people and none of them have heard it. I think I have a recommendation link but this is not something where I am trying to make a few pennies. For me it's worth the £10ish a month

It is called Truefire - you may already know it already

I play the guitar to a reasonable level and love it but there is a review here that gives a balance - Another review

I'm about quarter through my first (acoustic) learning path and have whizzed through the beginning stuff quickly - though I thought I wouldn't ignore it.

Hours of stuff there and I end up being to play acoustic like Tommy Emmanuel, jazz like Frank Vignola and blues like Matt Schofield I will be very happy (and surprised)! But if I don't then I will learn a lot there is a lot of quality in it. The only similar resource that I really like (for it's quality and clarity) is Jazz Piano School but that is less relevant here

For me it does have a structure to it and encourages you to play through the Core stuff until you get to the bits you find hard and then start working harder and that works better for me than (say) the way I have used Youtube to learn specific songs or licks or things. A bit like learning a language rather than learning a lot of phrases and struggling to put them all together.
