Online guitar tuition - any recommendations?

I'm thinking of splashing out on a subscription to the Guitar Tricks membership site that I mentioned above. They have a special offer on for the next couple of weeks - $99 for a year. I want to try them out and then promote the site if it as good as it looks, but I think that I should be a member myself if I'm going to do that. Watch out for my 'before' and 'after' videos on YouTube!

I just signed up for GT and I will let you know how I get on. (If I like the site and promote it then I only need to sell 4 subscriptions a year to cover the cost of mine!)

.....how are you getting on? I've been looking at the Justin Sandercoe site and think that's pretty good for a complete beginner. I'd be interested in your opinion on the GT site.

Reading this thread earlier had me thinking that I'd always wanted to learn to play. The final push was listening to John Prescott saying that he wanted a piano as his luxury as he'd always regretted not learning to play an instrument.

Anyway, I've now bought a guitar and should be picking up an amp' at the weekend. BTW (football reference coming up) - the guy at the shop thought it really funny that I would not consider a Marshall amp' because they sponsor the MK Dons.

Ah - Pennine-Paul was asking me the same question on last Sunday's forum ride! The truth is that I've let other things get in the way and haven't really got stuck in yet. Yes - the same old story ...

I have had another look around the various parts of the GT site. I think the folk and rock guitar lessons look really good and I'm looking forward to working through some of them. I wasn't so impressed with a couple of classical lessons that I looked at, but that doesn't bother me too much because I'm putting my classical guitar aspirations on hold for a year or so. I don't think the site is great for classical, but it could be useful to give non-classical guitarists an introduction to the genre.

My wireless router had packed up so I couldn't use my laptop to visit the GT site from the room where I want to play my guitar. (I don't want to have to sit at my office desk in my attic when I'm practising.) I've got a new router now and get a good signal all over the house so at least I don't have that excuse any more.

I've got 3 main things that I want to do this year and making progress on the guitar is one of them. I'm going to sit down and draw up a plan for the year because I just don't seem to get things done if I make it up as I go along. What is that saying ... 'Failing to plan is planning to fail'!
