What our students say

Andy starts teaching from the the very first steps. 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

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.

Bob Parkinson

Im 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. Im now playing at an intermediate level and plan to stay with Andy and the team throughout my guitar journey.

Trevor Mercer

Andy has done more than any other person to help my guitar playing. Many videos are free on youtube but an annual subscription is a bargain. Literally hundreds of videos, and weekly live Q and A's

Barry Spencer

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

Andy Guitar is the greatest place for a hesitant beginner to get the most from their learning time. I started as a beginner a year ago and I can already jam with other players and make my own songs. If you are looking for an online guitar tutor, you've found him, he's the best dude. Even though he has a lot of free content, going for the subscription is really worth the money.

Sotiris Papaskoulis

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!
