Tried other online courses before this, but hadn't found one that helped me improve as quickly as this one did. The videos are short and easy to follow. Sometimes a bit too fast for me but that's why there's a pause button. I love that they let you choose to learn different styles, when the other things I'd tried didn't teach you based on a style at all. Couldn't figure out how to learn blues until I found this app. Very thankful for stumbling upon it.

If you are a beginner to stringed instruments, this is a great place to start! I am currently using Fender Play to learn acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and bass guitar. The lessons are so fun, I am sure I will eventually get a ukelele just so I can play on every instrument Fender Play teaches. Fender Play does a great job breaking things down. I go at my own pace and build it up. I particularly love how the Paths allow me to change styles of music to find the groove I want to play that day.

The lessons are great. But the app itself needs some serious work before I would recommend subscribing. Here's why: -The loading times on menus are endless. -The text in de side menu and under icons won't show completely, Rock just says: "Ro-", my path just: "My" etc. -While scrolling it tries to load every lesson your finger touched at once, which results in a crash. -After a list of songs is loaded on screen while scrolling they reappear twice before showing the rest. Tested on the OnePlus 5T.
