“The YGA Club has helped me grow immensely as a guitar player over the past year. If you enjoy the YGA youtube channel, the Club takes it to another level. The lessons are fun and engaging (especially the Player Studies), and the interactive tabs are a huge part of my practice routine. I love that I can submit a video and get useful constructive feedback from one of the mentors.
The personalized pathway lays out my lesson plan for me, allowing me to spend my precious little time focused on learning and playing, not on figuring out what to learn next.
If you're looking to grow as a guitar player, have a plan laid out for you, join a community of players at all levels, and have more regular interactions with guitar mentors, then you should give the YGA Club a try.”
“My YGA Club subscription has been the single most transformational purchase of my guitar journey. I'd like to highlight here three excellent features of the YGA Club. First, is the Pathway system. Your Guitar Academy have organized their expansive and growing library of courses/lessons into logical pathways that can build on each other to help get you to where you want to go. Answer a few simple questions about skill level, preferred genre, etc. and your pathway is built to suit your needs. I love that I don't need to fumble around wondering what I should probably learn next. YGA Club does that thinking for me. Next, I love the mo monthly progress reviews. Every month you can submit a short video performance of whatever it is you're working on, and a YGA tutor will respond with guidance to help you improve and/or tell you "You nailed this. You should try the next lesson." Finally, the community is top-notch. Not only can you submit your own progress videos, but you can also watch and comment on every else's progress in the club Discord channel. Everyone is there to learn and improve together, support each other, cheer each other on, talk about their exciting new gear, and so on. I highly recommend the YGA Club to every guitarist.”
“I've tried a few subscription sites and this is by far my favourite and the one I have stuck with. The lessons are at just the right pace, the presenters seem like genuinely nice guys and the sound slice files are fantastic. I really like the player studies as all my favourite guitar players are covered. Instead of just learning one of their solos you learn solos that are very similar so you can see how they were put together and how you can vary them.”
“I would recommend YGA to any guitar player, whether they are starting out or are more further advanced. The courses are expertly laid out and easy to follow, and they have a comprehensive range of courses to choose from to learn covering a wide range of genres. As an intermediate player, using YGA was easily one of the best decisions I made. Being someone who wanted to learn more about blues playing, their Electric Blues Essentials courses where instrumental in terms of covering and applying the required music theory and techniques to provide a solid foundation for my own playing in the future. Without these courses, I would not be in the position I am now.”
“Learning through YGA has been a transformational experience for me. Dan with his specialist team and mentors provide support that is as close to one-to-one teaching as possible without the high price of individual lessons. For those of us overseas this is even more significant. The four components of Guitar Skills, Player Studies, Theory Lab and Challenges blend to provide a rounded and comprehensive course. The generous and supportive Discord community, the superbly edited and meticulous videos with accompanying SoundSlice tabs, and the detailed on-screen notes make the whole experience of YGA fun and inspiring. If you are prepared to put in the effort, improvement is assured. YGA is a dynamic and evolving club that responds to feedback from members. In addition, the mentors provide detailed feedback to those who share their performances online. This is as close to individualised learning as one can get. The term "club" nicely expresses how I feel about YGA - supportive, enjoyable, informative, passionate, generous and brilliantly organised. Like any great experience, words cannot do YGA justice - just try it and see what I mean.”
“I’m YGA Club member and the lessons and courses available are great. The instructors knowledgeable and breakdown licks and techniques in an easy to understand approach. They also express the reasoning behind what they are teaching to make it easier to apply later on. The videos and Tab breakdowns are well done.”
“I've enjoyed many different guitar lessons on YouTube and with other free and paid guitar "course" providers. YGA is certainly one of the best, with techniques and theory communicated in a very logical way. I've had multiple "aha!" moments where things start to click, and made significant progress in a few short months. The "pathway" adaptable to your previous experience and intended playing style is the standout feature. Would recommend.”
