'Hi James. I'm working my way through the blues lessons plans, the rock lesson plans and checking out the theory lessons.  

I've bought other lessons online but none have had the structure and flow of your lessons. The materials are great and I'm making progress much more quickly now.  

And, I both understand and can execute stuff. Really great'

I also really appreciate that you check in with your members periodically, it makes it much more personal which in guitar lessons is a great thing!'  

Joanne, TGL member, USA

'I'm kicking myself...

After being a TGL member for less than a week I can see that if I'd signed up two years ago then I'd be virtually where I always wanted to be by now...

If you aren't prepared to put the practice in then no learning path on earth will make you a better player.

But if you are, then I would think it would be IMPOSSIBLE NOT to improve dramatically by following the approach you've developed in TGL'
