  • Begs for reviews

    If your app begs for reviews in the middle of doing what your app is supposed to do, then you get 1 star, regardless of how good the app is otherwise.

    I’m not a fan of the game style learning. I was using another app like this a while back and realized that i was learning to watch a screen instead of listening to keep time. I’ll be bc stick with truefire and Justin. When I want to learn a song I’ll use songster.

  • Don’t Fall for Gibson’s Guitar Lessons App – Beautiful App, Crooked Billing Practices

    1
    By Golucid
    I purchased a Gibson guitar subscription to learn how to play, initially signing up for what I believed was a single annual plan. After paying $129.99, I started the seven-day trial to evaluate the service. The very next day, I received an email from Gibson offering a “special” subscription for just $90.99. Grateful to stay within my budget, I accepted what appeared to be a better deal — and immediately canceled the original seven-day trial. What followed was a textbook example of deceptive and predatory billing practices. Despite canceling the trial right away, it refuses to be removed from my account, and Gibson is now insisting on billing me the full $129.99. Meanwhile, I was also charged the $90.99. I am now saddled with two separate annual subscriptions—totaling over $220—neither of which I can cancel or access properly. When I contacted Gibson directly, I was told they could do nothing. They’ve outsourced the service to some third-party company in Europe, and their hands are conveniently “tied” by contract. Despite my repeated emails to this mysterious European entity, I’ve received zero response. Gibson, a respected American brand, has effectively washed its hands of the entire customer service nightmare they created. This is outrageous. While the app itself may be solid (it currently holds a 4.8-star rating), the company’s predatory billing tactics and complete abdication of responsibility are disgraceful. Trapping customers in non-cancellable subscriptions through opaque overseas partners — even after they cancel a trial in good faith — is not just poor business, it’s deeply unethical. I’ve disputed the $90.99 charge with Apple Card, but fighting the original $129.99 is proving equally frustrating. At this point, I’ve been left with no choice but to abandon Gibson’s platform entirely and resort to free YouTube tutorials. Consider this a warning: Gibson’s guitar training app may look appealing, but their billing practices are a nightmare. Think twice before handing over your money.

  • Finally the App For Me

    Spent a little over a year using a different app and even though I was progressing through the lessons my playing was sloppy and often times I felt I was taking 2 steps forward and then 3 steps back. So a little over a couple weeks ago I gave this a shot and it’s exactly what I’ve needed. I started at the beginner level and am working my way through the power chord section now and I’ve already noticed and more importantly can hear the improvement. If you’re willing to put the work in I honestly think this is the best app out there right now. I really really like the lesson review breakdowns where you can see the percentages of how well you’re playing everything. Each day I’ll play a new lesson but will also go back to work on the stuff that could use improvement. Highly recommended. Great job Gibson, great job.

  • Great guitar learning app

    This is the first app I purchased and used when I started my guitar journey. With no real music experience I have learned so much in the last year thanks to the GGA!

  • All fluff

    Want to get strung along by a bunch of flashy BS? This is the app for you. This is like a budget airline with the nickel and diming, but worse. Buyer beware.

  • It’s costly….. but….

    By WallStreetCrook
    Being transparent right up front. I give it two stars for the reason being the price for a year subscription, not having good/reliable phone/data service the app requires for a smooth experience and not having had much availability to use the app as I had hoped for. In the last 10 months of having paid $139.09 for the year sub, I’ve probably spent less than 20hrs of use, maybe even less. That’s no fault to Gibson. I just wasn’t expecting such a chaotic turn of events in life shortly after buying a guitar and then the app. But the high price of the yearly cost and what very little time I’ve been able to spend enjoying the app, it leaves me feeling regrettable for paying for the app when I did. As well, the app does require a reliable data point. And where I had been living through the last ten months, My data service was awful only having 1 bar of signal. So the app would struggle loading videos and songs and practice material etc. Again, no fault to Gibson. But simply another reason I feel regrettable for paying as much as I did for the app and not being able to use it without connection issues when I would get the time to sit down and use the app. With that said, as far as the app itself. I feel like the app does bring a solid foundation to a beginner guitar player and up. The play along structure is well laid out and makes it easy to follow along and uses a good mix of switching patterns up as in once you start feeling good using a certain finger or or fret after a few similar measures, it switches it briefly using different frets or fingers then jumping right back to what you started feeling dialed in on, giving you a quick “are you sure you got it?” Type approach making it more likely you’ll retain the teachings. Not only does it focus on a beginner approach, it also has extra video material that shows you how to take care of your guitar. How to restring, tuning and so on. The song you get to learn along with are songs most of us actually know. Not just some weird song just to play along with which brings more excitement into learning the guitar. Gibson really is offering a wonderful app and I’d love to actually invest time into the app and feel as if I’m getting what I’ve paid for. My approach to this app being simply the price as I don’t have much of a disposable income sadly. But it’s what makes it a difficult choice if I want to renew my subscription come July or if I consider it a loss and use cheaper options or YT like many others. If you find yourself having plenty of time to invest with the app, I believe you’ll truly learn a great deal from this app. You’ll also want to make sure you have reliable internet service on your device to avoid load failures as this app relies heavily on a good stable network connection.

  • Color blindness

    By (Phase)
    I love this app and use it all the time, but I’d really love to see a colorblind accessibility setting added. Some of the colors can be difficult to tell apart, and having a colorblind mode would make the experience even better and more accessible for everyone.
