Guitar Mastery Method Reviews 218

The community and the learning experience at GMM are fantastic. The live calls every Sunday are also helpful. The daily assignments in the courses really help you make progress. If you commit to it and practice, you’ll really improve and get better. It’s different from just watching video tutorials, where you’re on your own and have to figure out the answers to your questions by yourself.

My experience with Guitar Mastery has been life changing, in my guitar playing. Also my understanding the methods in major scales to minor scales. These two things has really improved my playing with more feeling as get into playing along with back tracks, it's really has changed my playing. I really have been blessed to find Guitar Mastery and I love the live sessions I get to watch and learn from Charlie and the others. New techniques are always welcome with me. I know we all just got a taste of it and it's delicious! I'am ready to soak it all in if I am able.
I will share this with every musician I come in contact with. We all need improvement in all we do in this life.

GMM is put together by some of the most dedicated and talented "instructors" I have ever encountered. I've resisted taking lessons on the guitar for many years although I always wanted to learn to play. The apprehension I was feeling was fear of not being able to learn and therefore - fail. When I took the chance and joined the GMM team, it came with an amazing group of talented and dedicated teachers who really put everything into what they do. Really good at what they do. ZERO judgement (which I didn't think was possible) and the community (of other like minded guitarists) - helps make this work as well. You never feel like you are on your own and I have never seen / heard anyone critical of anyone else learning! (great for beginners and talented guitarists alike). Fantastic community.

What can one say about a company, and the people within that company, that changed your life for the better? I have suffered from PTSD and decided that playing the guitar would be a way for me to help keep myself grounded. When I joined GMM, I have very little knowledge of the guitar. I started in one of the beginner lessons, became a VIP member and 3 months later joined the live classes they called Lead Guitar for Life. It has now been over 3 years of wonderful learning and vast improvement on the guitar. Last year I attended the inaugural Guitar Mastery Live in Nashville and got to meet these instructors (and many awesome GMM members) face-to-face. Best experience ever! Charlie is so dedicated to improving the skills of his members! I have tried other companies, but they are so impersonal compared to GMM. You feel like you get to know the instructors and the other members. The community that has been built is second to none! Thank you GMM for helping me improve my guitar skills and even more so for helping me reclaim my own life away from the symptoms of PTSD! I love this company and all that are involved in making it work!

I have been playing for around 50 years off and on. would quit playing then start again but would always end up in the same place as before and would stop, when I found this program it was amazing I learned more about being musical when I played in 4 weeks than I had in then last 15 years. The instructors are light hearted in their approach but very serious in teaching how to play better. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is stuck with their playing.

After over 50 years of noodling around on the guitar, jumping from YouTube video to video trying to learn how to solo I took a chance on GMM and the VIP club. They promised to give me real progress on the guitar. And let me tell you they DELIVERED 120%. I just completed the Master the Fretboard Course and I can now play effortlessly across the fretboard jamming to multiple keys. If you REALY want to learn the guitar and the fretboard. What are you waiting for? Sign up to GMM and the VIP CLUB!

What made my experience so great is that now I know the CAGED System better than ever. I can look at the fretboard and visualize all 5 patterns on the Fretboard,all of the right notes in each pattern, the Root notes,maj and mi, the blue notes, 5th, 3rd, 7th, 2nd. Solo over the chord changes 1,4&5. And so much more. The instructors and community are always eager to help.

This review is being submitted 6 months into my experience with Guitar Mastery Method.

At which point, 2 courses have been completed with another upcoming. This might not sound like a significant accomplishment, without a brief summary.

The first course allowed me to finally overcome mechanical issues that had plagued me back to last millenium. These changes have allowed me to play much more efficiently! The ergonomic change has vastly improved endurance, and I don't feel contorted or strained to play or practice.

The second course has been focused on applying the pentatonic patterns to the fretboard, and familiarity with root notes along with supplemental notes for phrasing. Unlike previous efforts, GMM has presented the information and accompanying exercises to maximize retention. The material is accessible for review, and the teachings are very simple to put into practice.

One could conclude that the results from these 2 courses alone are worth the price of membership. There are a multitude of archives and modules available which are suitable for absolute beginners, journeymen and those needing to correct issues. The foundation is absolutely solid with GMM, and you get far beyond what you pay.

my experience has been awesome and i have not yet fully taken advantage of all the resources available at gmm. the live sessions every sunday have been fantastic. i've learned more in the last six weeks than in many months of programs prior. the resources are there. the lessons are there. the instructors are there. all you have to do is take your personal motivation and invest it in this program. you will get results. and, compared to other resources i have used in the past, the value is here is a bonus. if you are willing to spend the time, you get far more value for far less cost than taking private lessons, or things like school of rock, or subscribing to multiple youtube channels, etc. finally, gmm offers a money back guarantee. so, there is no risk in trying. i was skeptical at first. when i signed up, i made note of the time allowed to cancel for a refund. it took only a few days and lessons to know that i would continue indefinitely. i just finished the m1 course of mastering the fretboard. it was a blast and i learned a lot. can't wait for m2 to start. give it a try. you'll love it. if i'm wrong, just cancel and nothing lost.

I have done courses before, but the course I just completed about understanding the fretboard, was phenomenal. This is the first time the entire CAGED system has stuck in my head. I can play in any key in the five shapes on the fretboard. The instructors and live sessions were outstanding, the lesson material was first rate, and the FaceBook community of hundreds of people was there to answer questions and offer constructive comments. If you want to really move forward in your guitar playing, then it is worth it to be involved in one of the GMM courses. It will require work on your part, but the payoff will be SO worth it!

The whole program is wonderful. It's fun, it's insightful, it's comprehensive without being too heavy on the brain with technical jargon. It is definitely learning how to play correctly and with purpose, but the way it is delivered makes it fun and enjoyable. Of course the whole idea is to learn to play guitar the correct way, but the lessons and information is easier to absorb than anything I've done previously. Plus it energised me to make it more of a daily regimen, rather than what was previously more of a hit and miss thing. And there are notes, recordings and PDFs to fall back on so replays and catch-ups are always available. I'm really learning to play the way I wanted to be able to thanks to this program.

This type of opportunity wasn't available to me as a youngster. It's the kind of lessons that last a lifetime. They build a solid foundation and expand on that. They teach the right way.
It doesn't take long before you're wailing away with confidence.
I highly recommend this course!

I have loved the experience with GMM. I value the instruction, the live lessons, the feedback, the variety of learning experiences, the instructors, and, especially, the GMM community. Committing myself to Fastlane 66 and Unlock the Fretboard programs, Parts of the EMA(exercise, mind, action) program, have been especially helpful. i have valued the experience enough to become a member for life.

Absolutely the most effective
Learning model I’ve experienced. I’ve taken many courses online but this was the first step by step logical approach I’ve ever been involved with.
Others are good, this is fantastic

These Guys just know.
It's made me understand exactly what my guitar is for. I've been stuck for decades until GMM.
They take the time to actually teach, and it's taught in a way that is easy to understand.

The high level of expertise that the instructors exhibit! The educational approach is unique and works to develope good , all around guitar players, who have skills , confidence and a support system to reach out at any time to help make the experience special. The GMM team is top notch and are full of kindness, patience and the ability to make learning fun!They get exponential results every step of the way. I would recomend them to any level player!

This was one of the best courses I've ever found. If you want to take your playing to another level it's the place to be.
It changed the was I understand the guitar so much more completely, Eddie, Mike,Lexi and Charlie are incredibly giving instructors.

This company is awesome! The teachers are fantastic and teach in a very unique way that makes it so easy to learn.The members areas are great also.And the community is top notch with players from around the world constantly helping each other and encouraging each other.If you are on the fence about joining this group whether you are a beginner or an expert I highly recommend you do.You will get so much from this company. I love this group and I am a VIP member for life !!!!

I have been learning lead guitar for 2 years with Guitar Mastery Method. I have been to classes at a college in NY,I have e tried other online courses and they weren't able to explain and teach the way that the GMM instructors were able to teach me,they were able to teach in a simple uncomplicated way that really works.I've learned pentatonic,diatonic,blues scales,where the root notes are.How to play the scales in different keys,I am now learning the modes.The teach us speed and dexterity exercises,we get live classes with great interaction between the students and instructors.We have an online community that supports each other.THERE IS NOTHING BETTER ONLINE OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER!

I started with the free Guitar Mastery 66 course at the end of 2025- enjoyed it so much I joined VIP for one month and started Unlock the Fretboard and EMA in 2026 which was amazing! I was able to learn the CAGED system and solo across the fretboard in only 3-4 weeks!!! I also learned how to transpose the CAGED system to different keys (still cannot believe I can actually do this). This includes weekly live online lessons with a community. The instructors are wonderful - you can tell they really care and are great teachers. They are continually asking for feedback, incorporate the feedback and are continually improving the program. At the end of the course there is an online celebration with give aways. The community is great - very supportive and helpful. If you have a question, just ask in the community and members and teachers answer which gives you a variety of approaches. The community consists of various skill levels from beginner to advanced. In the VIP club there are also numerous courses available - learning is unlimited as GMM continues to add new things. Guitar Mastery Method has provided me with a very structured and effective method of learning, and I am astounded with my progress and my confidence.
