Excellent Instruction and Feedback

Aljasper

As a middle-aged person learning guitar for the first time, this app intimidated me for too long. I finally decided to give it a sincere effort and am so glad I did. This is the best app I have used (and I have tried many different apps.) The lessons are well done and the quality of instruction is excellent. I really enjoy connecting my guitar and amp to the app, playing along with songs and lessons, and getting immediate and accurate feedback about my performance.

Hands-down Best App

Bloubul3

Hands down the best app on the market today and I have advanced so much with this app. And now with the original tabs/chords, it’s literally my favourite app and I highly recommend this app for anyone. Simple to use and easy to follow.

From Beginner to Rocker!

I used to be a horrible guitar player and now I just started playing this game to learn and now I’m rocking!

Keeps Me Motivated and Engaged

Hidhgcdf

I’ve taken private guitar lessons in the past but with the state of the economy, I wanted to find something more economical - that I would actually stick with. I’ve tried numerous online courses, and apps. This is the first one that has really held my interest. I love how interactive it is, and how much variety it has. I love that it “listens” to you and tells you how you’re doing. And believe it or not, I actually like that you have to do well enough on something to advance to the next section. It gives me a goal to reach for, which pushes me beyond “well it’s good enough.” I’m so happy with this app, and highly recommend it to others.

Slow and Steady Progress

Kscyorkshire

I started playing a little over a year ago with videos and other apps but progress was slow and haphazard. Then I tried this app and WOW…what a difference. I started with the solo track for the first few months and really started to get the feel for my guitar. It was not a race to finish for me so I did not move onto the next lesson until I was comfortable with the previous lesson. I then started the rhythm track and do a little of both each day. I am approaching 1m xp and can feel my abilities improving at a faster and faster pace. The new updates are fun but I do miss the video record option. Keep up the good work!

Quick and Helpful Support

Hatters83

Love it. Developer also responded quickly to an issue with the app not working.

Rediscovered Joy of Playing

Sordin

I’ve played basic guitar off and on for the last 30 years. This app has not only helped me rediscover the joy of playing an instrument but has also taken my skills to new heights in a pedagogical and fun way. I even learned picking which is something I’ve always struggled with. And who doesn’t want to play a duet with Mark Knopfler? I really recommend it no matter your skill level. Invest in it and you invest in yourself. Have fun!

Challenging but Worth It

nodogg

Challenging, frustrating and makes you want to quit. But it’s totally worth it to see what progress you make when you stick with it and see the results. Really good job, guys.

Perfect for Absolute Beginners

MDHines57

46 years old and learning guitar for first time with app. I have zero musical background and thought this would be impossible! Best app I have paid for—well worth it.

Responsive Support Team

120034874565

Not only is the app great, so is the support. Mentioned the small glitches and they promptly reached out to have them addressed. These were small glitches but the response was awesome. Highly recommend!

Superior Lesson Structure

AntMac246

I tried several apps before settling on Gibson. It’s much better than the other apps in terms of lesson structure, technique content and song selection. Yes, some lessons are harder but with the slow down speed control and practice you’ll be surprised what you can achieve. My timing and technique are much improved because of the live lesson feedback when playing. They also regularly add new lessons and songs. So haven’t run out of choice in a year.

Love at First Play

ArashRK

We Love you ❤️ Most wonderful guitar learning app ❤️

Learned Faster Than Teachers

BuscaVida

Perfect! I wish I could have GIBSON’s app instead of my high school teacher!

Massive, Constantly Updated Content

Pda123

Huge amount of content, instructional videos, songs, tabs, techniques… by far the best guitar training app I ever used. Updated constantly as well. Great job Gibson!

Fun and Effective

Tattooed_Joe

I’ve learned so much from this app. Didn’t realize I was learning, was just having fun going through the lessons and learning songs, but my skills have greatly improved. I use the iRig HD X interface on an iPad while I Bluetooth the audio to a Spark 40 amp. Very rarely do I have any issues. If it ever does lag, a quick reboot of the app usually fixes it. I have so much fun on this app, can’t recommend it enough. It’s pricey, but you get a lot for your money, as long as you use it.

Organized Lessons with Play-Along

Jim789789

Great app! The lessons are really well done and organized. Having the songs in the background to play along to really helps and makes the usual boring practice a lot of fun.

Smooth and Free Content

Random Waeboo

Articulate, easy to use, smooth, I didn’t spot any lag, most of the stuff is free (unlike the Fender app) and the whole map system is superb.

Great for Young Performers

STARRR

I love this app it very good and I have a talent show and it really helping me 💅 I did a 72 and my friend got a 75 WHITCH IS BETTER 👺👺 but app is very good.

Engaging Gamified Lessons

YauhenK

Amazing and encouraging app! I tried another similar competition app, but quickly got bored. Gibson has very different approach, more details in theory, nice structure of lessons. I really always wait when I come back home and be able to launch it. Gaming style makes it fun to practice and don’t give up. Of course it’s probably not for advanced players, but for novices like me — you probably won’t find any other so motivational and fun lessons.

Gradual and Effective Learning

KristenM231

I’ve tried out a bunch of the different guitar apps and this one is hands down the best. I like that they don’t just throw you into using all 6 strings in the first two main courses or starting chords immediately. I think this approach actually gets you used to playing single strings quickly and pick up finger dexterity and speed that you’ll need before diving into more complex lessons. Design is great too with the ability to slow the speed and look at the whole tab before playing. I’m excited for the new music theory course too, which will help me better grasp what I’m playing.

Heartfelt Thanks for Accessibility

Dear Gibson, Thank you so much for the service you provide, your app is absolutely wonderful and is a great jumping off point for aspiring guitarists, I found that my path would progress better with an in person teacher so I am choosing not to continue as money is tight and it's a little too expensive to do both. Your app is an absolutely amazing way to get new people into guitar and to have accessible lessons for people who aren't fortunate enough to have the luxury of paying a professional for lessons. I think it's one of the most wonderful things someone can do, making music accessible to the majority of the public and I find it very noble that you've created an app for that cause. Sometimes when we have very little hope, music is all we have. It's a beautiful thing to share it with everyone. The app is easy to use and easy to navigate and I think it's great for beginner guitarists in particular. I heard about it through a student and I myself am a little too old to say for sure, but I've noticed that the kids I teach that also play love how it feels a little like a video game. They find it more engaging than regular practice. Thank you so much for the services you provide and I hope you continue to teach many future rockstars for years to come

Late Bloomer Having a Blast

rad_habits

I bought a guitar the day before I turned 40. I had many people tell me why are you doing that you are starting way too late. I downloaded this app a week later and I have been playing for an hour or more every day for the past 30 days. It is so much fun. I love this app.

Efficient and Engaging Practice

Doc Andrews

This Gibson learning app is amazing and it is light years ahead of the Justin Guitar lessons app. Yes I paid for both subscriptions to compare them. Lol. I wanted to make sure that I using my time efficiently. In short, I won’t be renewing my subscription to Justin no matter how cheap it is. For reference, I’m an adult beginner with no significant prior music experience other than signing karaoke with friends. With just one week’s worth of Gibson lessons, I am comfortably using 3 fingers and two strings. More to come for sure :). This app is rewarding and designed in such a way that practice is truly fun. The Ai interface and leaderboard makes it feel like practice isn’t work at all. It’s enjoyable, you get to anonymously compete with other beginners with earned practice points, and at the same time it challenges you to improve. Sometimes I find myself planning for a 30 minute practice time, then look up to see that 1.5 hrs has gone by. It’s rewarding. and I recommend it without reservation.

Best on the Market

Mr_MarkH

This is still the best app on the market. All features are awesome and customer support is fantastic. Highly recommended

Always Inspires Me

El Padronez

Simply the best guitar app out there. Makes me wanna pick up the instrument all the time.

Stop-n-Go Savvy

MrHealerMan

At first it seems like it was tailored for electric guitars but you just have to choose the right lesson. I love the new stop n go feature. I love playing fast songs but its challenging to keep pace. With the stop n go feature it lets me correct my mistakes and actually learn from my mistakes instead of just playing over and over till i get it right.

Just Gibson and Guitar

Kesnake

it’s a the best app to learn guitar ! great job Gibson

Structured and Supportive

Indy1274

Really impressed with this app is really helped me to improve after I picked my guitar back up after a long pause. Helps me focus and gives me structure. Lots of new stuff on there all the time. Well worth the money.

Endless Discovery

Doc 50 Cal

I chose the Gibson App last year on my birthday to learn something I’ve wanted to do for years and I’m STILL finding things in the App I didn’t know were there! This App seriously has MORE INFORMATION than you can imagine! Professional input, guides to take you through everything from theory to technique…and I PROMISE you can’t get this much info and instruction anywhere else for such a good price!!!! Gibson has set the bar and then exceeded it!!! Subscribe now and get to work…you won’t be disappointed!!!!

Quick Subscription Help

Mike75044

I had purchased a new device and needed to transfer my subscription. I reached out to their support service. They quickly responded and had me up and going within the day.

Guitar Hero Vibes

Trip at knight

This app makes me feel like a guitar hero fr

Game-Style Fun and Learning

MT Mind

If you are looking for a fun interactive guitar learning app, this is excellent. I have used both this and fender play. While the Fender app is good, the lessons often times felt tedious. These lessons are fun and more like playing guitar hero. So far I am enjoying this app a lot.

Overcoming Self-Taught Plateaus

Avalanche Driver Too

I am really enjoying the app. It really took me over the hump I have been in from self-learning on YouTube over the past few years.

Immersive Practice

Tico52

I have about 3 months with the app, every time I gets me submerge into a different world where only my guitar, the song, and I are there. Completely fascinated with app, the lessons’ structure, and with the coaches. And yes, I have improved on my guitar skills. Thank you

Reignited My Interest

J_V_Nolan

This app is so fun. I’ve been getting back into the guitar and recently got an electric guitar. This has so many lessons and guides for keeping me interested. Go for it.

Beginner Joy

Strength17!

So fun to learn on this app! I’m a beginner I’m so enjoying learning. It’s so easy to learn on this app. I recommend it!!

Breakthrough After Years

pacman180

Had been stuck playing the same few songs, riffs and chords for years(decades even). Difficult to find time for lessons between work and family life. Have had this app for a few weeks and my playing is progressed more in that time than the last 20 years! Absolutely brilliant and really enjoying rocking along with my favourite Guns and Roses tunes! Keep up the good work!

Quick, Enjoyable Learning

Linj2014

Great for learning guitar, easy to pick up and awesome fun!

Deep Theory and Practice

Suburban Assassin

This app is amazing. Easy to understand and use. In a few short weeks, had some basics down to start playing with confidence. I had zero guitar experience except for a few failed attempts to learn back in college. The apps approach to learning is great and you can go real deep into music theory if you choose to. The team running the app also does a great job adding new music across varying skill levels, keeping things fresh, exciting and challenging.

Reading-Free Progress

Big gun72

I cannot read music. This app makes learning the guitar very easy. I have struggled for years and with the app my progress is skyrocketing.

ADHD-Friendly Feedback

Gordo419

As a self proclaimed "noodler" for years, no lessons, either inline or in person, kept me interested. As a person with adult ADHD, I need constant input and feedback. This app gives me that. I log in 5 times a week, and always spend at least an hour enjoying the experience.

Precision Over Permissiveness

maAdaAaaa

I used youscian for many years and I can play guitar. Youscian is a great app in its own right, however this app is really stressing the importance of working out bad habits. For example this app is less forgiving and is forcing me get more accurate on my fretboard. I can already tell that my timing and overall control on the fretboard is more accurate already after One day of practice… and this is just running through the beginning tutorial. Very happy.

Bleeding for Improvement

Swisher89

I have been playing for just two days now and have never wanted to make my fingers bleed more in my life!! Great app for beginners, with a lot of tips and tricks along the way.

Accidental Best Purchase

MarkGorm

Downloaded by mistake and paid for a year but the best purchase I made. This app will do what it says and help you with your playing abilities. It makes it fun to learn along the way. Thanks for a great app

Simple and Effective

Jumping indoors

I like this learning process thank you very much!

Vintage Instrument Starter

Kits to Kradles Nursery

I am close to 50 yo, female and just learning how to play the electric guitar for the first time. This is the easiest instrumental app that I have ever used! It’s actually fun to play all of my favorite songs from the 80s right from the beginning! Being able to play along with my favorite songs, even in the first and second lesson made learning fun and easy. This app really keeps me wanting to come back and continue learning! I never thought it could be this fun! I really don’t feel like a beginner at all! In just the first two lessons , I felt like I was actually playing my guitar. I was also worried about how quickly I would learn as I age, but this feels like it is so easy with this app. It has been worth every penny!

Daily Growth and Affordability

TRF CHAMP

This is the best app I have found yet! I do it every day and I have had amazing growth and it is cheaper than the other apps!

Drummer to Guitarist Journey

201 Meco

I played the drums for 15 years loved it and always wanted to learn the guitar but it was intimidating to me. Never ended up taking formal classes and the money my dad spent on a squire strat went out the window all those years ago. Im 27 now just picked up a guitar have been using youtube and tabs but this is by far the most fun ive had and most progress ive seen playing an instrument since i picked up a set of drumsticks. Its legit like a video game ill recommend it to everyone and im having the time of my life playing even the most basic stuff here. Shoutout Gibson man this is revolutionary stuff!

Guitar Hero Accuracy

vml.47

Feels like playing Guitar Hero, but with a real guitar that picks up everything you play—every string, every fret. I already play guitar, but the app gives me some great tips. I can spend hours practicing now, which never happened before. So happy I found it!

Stuck No More

Shawshawk

I’ve been playing guitar for over 30 years and felt very stuck, I always wanted to learn lead and riffs but wasn’t really sure where to start. I find this app genuinely great at getting me out of a learning hole.

Chord First Approach

Mandie Simpson

I tried Simply Guitar first and it was not helpful to me. I love that Gibson starts with fingers and positioning and then strumming. Before trying to make chord shapes. It’s a little pricey but I think well worth every penny. And I love learning to play along with some of my favorite song

Primary Learning Source

Jugón83

One of best apps I ever used. This is my main Learning source. Strongly recommended but it could be interesting to include an evaluation of your level indicating the results
