The beginner's lessons start with ‘guitar fundamentals', and even if you've never even picked up the guitar, these lessons will turn you into an intermediate guitarist (if you are willing to invest some of your time and practice, of course).
From then on, you can continue with GuitarTricks intermediate lessons which are divided into different musical styles. So if you want to play the blues, you'll choose one set of lessons, but if you are more interested in playing country music, for example, you'll practice with another set. You'll also learn what kind of gear you'll need and how to set it all up to get the correct sound (you'll even learn about different amplifier settings).
The intermediate lessons cover a lot of material and are probably the quickest way for you to improve your playing. But it doesn't stop there. Even when you become a more experienced guitarist you can continue learning. GuitarTricks offers a whole new set of lessons that are targeted specifically at people who are already good guitarists, but would like to become great. If you want to dig deep down into a certain genre, Guitar Tricks has got lessons for you. If there's a certain technique you still haven't master, whether it's sweep picking, artificial harmonics, or any other technique, you'll find the lesson you're looking for in the ‘Guitar Tricks Technique Reference Library'. And lastly, if you want to play like one of the greats, like B.B. King, or Eric Clapton, Django Reinhardt or even Jimi Hendrix himself, you'll find your lesson in the ‘Guitar Tricks' Artist Studies Series'.
You can take a look at 4 sample lessons for free, or signup for free account and get 24 additional lessons. But if you want to get all of the lessons and have unlimited access to the ever-growing GuitarTricks community, you'll have to sign up for a membership account at $12.95/month. Members also get some free software, like guitar tuner, a digital metronome specifically designed for building speed, and jam station that with accompany you while you're practicing your solos or improvising.

ON-SITE Review
..."Guitar Tricks" is great! I subscribed to it recently (full access) and I have been very satisfied so far. I have been playing guitar 40+ yrs. To make a long story short, on August 13th last year I had an accident at work and cut my middle finger off on my left (fretting) hand. I had emergency surgery to re-attach it and then 3 days after Christmas I had re-constructive surgery. Basically I am having to re-think and re-teach myself how to play again. Needless to say I have been going through some changes. I played guitar for living and I "need" to play guitar to live. Its my soul, my life. I have checked many "guitar" sites trying to find inspiration, exercises etc, etc. I'm sure you get the idea. I just want to say: "Guitar Tricks" has it all!

Guitar Tricks review
ON-SITE Review
This site is most the comprehensive guitar self learning place on the net!! Wow!! Also there is nothing more I love to do than sit down with some great jam tracks and employ exotic scales and rip through some monster riffs harmonic minor style!
Quality and I mean high quality in all styles! Amazing and the fact it loops forever is great because it really is disturbing when you are in the moment hitting the right note in the right scale to highlight the ringing chord in the background making it so pronounced!

Best Lesson I've Ever Had...
ON-SITE Review
Great site. I'm a self-taught beginner; about two years now. I've occasionally purchased instructional books, but I've learned more from the last 3 hours spent at this site than from all prior experiences put together.
