Where to take some online courses?

[mantis]

Hello all,
I've been playing guitar on and off for 39 years. I only had about 1.5 years of lessons total and have played by ear and self taught since. I did however put the guitar down for over 13 years and then picked it up back in 2006.
I have always had many holes in my playing and want to really improve on my overall playing. Going to lessons didn't work out for me locally as I tried twice and didn't get very far. One teacher kept double booking during my lessons which sucked as I would drive over there and someone else had my spot. This happened a few times and I quit going there. The other was at a local Music shop where the teacher was really cool but I could out play him on many different things. Shame to as I really liked him.
So now I'm looking to try something online. I noticed Musicisum which seems to be a good fit but looking for opinions on that course vs others.

Thanks guys,

Dan

I took myself back to school a couple of years back - Paul Gilbert’s online lessons at Artistworks. It’s a FANTASTIC course, and changed my playing for the better straight away. I started at the intermediate level. More importantly, by working through it, I learned how to learn and practice better - habits that have helped me grow ever since.

Beginner Blues-Rock Soloing

Yea, I doubt if you are a beginner, but it goes back to some simple drills that are played to a clock. Patterns, bends, vibrato are all there at slower tempos but I bet a week or so you would be right back to where you were, plus its on sale.

I think you just haven’t found the right teacher.
I could you refer you to someone you could do Skype lessons with.
He’s really good and knowledgeable. I’ve learned a ton from him.
Let me know and I can PM his info to you.

You might need to try out a few different platforms before finding something that suits your needs well. I'm personally a big fan of Masterclass' lessons by Tom Morello (yes, the actual man and not one of his namesakes). It's really great for intermediate to advanced players. However, it's obviously not the most flexible when it comes to genres covered. But it's fantastic if rock music interests you. There are many people who recommend more popular guitar lesson platforms such as GuitarTricks, JamPlay, etc. They have several different instructors, cover hundreds, if not thousands of songs, and most genres. Both of them have somewhat lenient free trials, so you might want to sign up for both at the same time and see which one you like better. There's also Fender Play, launched recently by Fender, but it's very limited so far and is mainly good for beginners.
