I love the site — the G-Plus Songs are phenomenal. The ability to loop sections and slow them down, plus have a professional walk you through it and explain what's happening and suggest fingering is invaluable. This is the best guitar site on the web!

I've been using the tabs and lessons at GuitarInstructor.com since 2008. I love the diversity in styles and topics covered and really enjoy the new G-Plus song lessons!

I used to fight through poorly written, online guitar tabs only to set myself up for pain by wasting hours learning partially correct songs and riffs. With GuitarInstructor.com, I immediately knew I was getting exactly what I was looking for — high-quality content
