Is FENDER PLAY Worth It??

- Опубликовано: 28 сен 2024
- In this video we take a look at Fender Play. The online guitar learning platform made by Fender! I've been seeing a lot of ads for Fender Play lately, and figured i'd look into what it is.
With an enormous number of online guitar learning resources available, it can be hard to figure out which one works best for you. Fender play offers multiple tools including song tutorials, and "my path", an online guitar course based on your learning preferences.
I was curious how fender play would compare to yousician and rocksmith... and it's not a game. A better comparison is justin guitar. Both courses are formatted similarly offering guitar lessons for absolute beginners to more advanced players. Fender play however doesn't get very advanced, and is focused more on beginner guitar techniques.. It's all in the video lol.

(I recommend justin guitar, but the fender play 14 day trial is potentially worth looking at)

Appreciate the shout out dude! :)
Thanks for being my idol!
I found JustinGuitar because of this video. Blown away by the quality of the content, I signed up right away.
@@RedlightBlue Yeah. Justin is amazing. I play because of him
@@RedlightBlue Justin's my guitar teacher as well. His online beginner course is amazing!

"The most a beginner will need it for is two weeks."
You seriously overestimate me.
My legit thoughts lol I got a three-month free subscription didn't get close to finishing
I played the guitar before lockdown and stopped going to classes, but I really want to get into it again, and Fender was cheaper than Yousicion.
@@imel3ment4l10 maybe you should consider Pow Music channel on RUclips
As a beginner, it's been the best thing I have come across.
Fender play was on just before I watched your video
Adam Wellman same
sameee

As a total newbie... I got the free trial in October and there's no way 2 weeks was any where near enough. However, I was able to purchase a year for $40. There was a half-off discount after the trial. I'm still learning my strings!
Clownish comment that a beginner can complete this in 2 weeks. He must have been fired by Fender or something.
Depends on how much you practice. Therefore it's possible in 2 weeks 😅🤣
Justin Guitar is the way to go. End of story. Good video.
Agree - amazing content mostly free. Just brilliant
Justin is love, Justin is life
Agree. Justin taught me basically everything I know on guitar. Big recommend
Actually it's not ..IMO&E. I started out on Justin Guitar. Today JustinGuitar.com is neither free nor the best, but if it seems that way to you, enough said.
What it is good for is 'testing the water' when you first start out as a beginner with his *limited* free access material, but anyone who persists with guitar beyond his cowboy chord lessons will discover before long that to access the meat in the stew requires payment. Previously it was buy Justin Guitar books per module (expensive from outside outside the UK). Now its a modular subscription model similar to Jamplay.
Having tried the three major sites along with alternative others and You Tube, Justin Guitar's formerly more culturally conventional English orientated teaching methodology I liked, but in its latest incarnation revamp, behind the visual facelift, he is dumbing the presentations down to to the lowest common mass market IQ denominator clearly targeting today's dominant McDemographic.
Whilst it does follow a US culturally orientated teaching style, *if I'm paying* and I am putting my money where my mouth is with an annual subscription model, *Guitar Tricks* is the #1 clear winner hands down. Comprehensive and professional with *an all inclusive package* representing superior value. Whilst inarguably Justin Guitar does have useful tools and material within its free access which I co-access regularly, it's mcmodule approach is very much now just like Jamplay without the glam visuals and hero worship.
No "Would you like fizzy drink or fries with your McFat burger today" scripted flim flam value adding for me thanks. Pass me the meat 'n taters please.
The Blytonian I learned a huge amount from Justin, but I’ve got to admit that I haven’t been there since his recent web page upgrade. Perhaps it’s not what it used to be?
Justin guitar has such great energy about him.
Fender Play keeps it light, breezy and fun. Love the way lessons are organized and the way Fender Play provides a consistent and structured environment to learn guitar. It really makes it's easy to learn at your own pace and keep track of your achievements. They sometimes put their annual plan on deal for 50% off so a one year subscription can be had for as little as 45 bucks.
Oh boy 😃
cough cough totally not a paid comment
It’s trash lol.
I have fender play and I’ve played on there for more than 14 days and I’ve learned a lot from the instrocters
Well the 3month free subsciption during corona is paying off for me i guess
same for me haha 3 months free
Same, I ordered a bass combo and I got 3month free. The bAss will arrive in a couple of days.
@@raghavgarg6909 send bAss
Just got my acoustic today and it came with 3 months free
@@raghavgarg6909 slap it
I went through the trial when I was pretty much an absolute beginner, a little under 2 years ago now, and I've gotta say, if you already know your open chords then you're already past needing anything Fender Play has to offer
Your editing gave me a seizure.
Ive come back to Guitar after 20 years at age 54 and didn't learn a lot first time around. Now with renewed enthusiasm i have subscribed to JamPlay and think its superb. Love the structure, just what i need and am loving tracking my progress. i have learnt way more in 2 months than i ever learn before.
100's of fantastic guitar teachers, many professional musicians and simply 1000's of videos to learn from covering practically every genre.
I hope to see myself in a years time in a place i never thought i would ever get to :-) Superb !
Ps i have no test this company just saw a couple of great reviews and went with it. LOVING IT !
I played electric bass for years when I was younger. I took lessons from 2 good teachers and played in bands for years. After 20 years of not playing much, I decided to buy a Fender 6 string and tried Fender Play out. They offered 50% off for a year (about $45) so I signed up. Two months in, I am still enjoying it and learning.
Yep I started with justinguitar too👍and after that I could play song lessons from RUclips and learn by hearing and seeing songs now I'm advanced intermediate🤘
Dude appreciated!!! I almost got fender play, but just signed up for Justin Guitar and it's exactly what I wanted. Saved me money pal. Appreciated. Stay cool
yo i bloody love the way u talk haha
Hwat
Hey thank you
🩸
Saw a fender play ad, searched youtube for more info, found this video, just wanted to say thanks for saving me time!
my man was holding a guitar the whole vid for no reason xD xD
Thanks for saving me 10$/month Justin Guitar is the way to go!
I'm a total newbie who tried both. I love fender more because it teaches you one chord and then teaches one song that uses it. In addition, all the videos gets harder gradually. You can actually feel your own process. It is better to learn one chord in a song and use it in a song with the ones you learned before. So, you can learn a chord, compare it with other chords and improve your transicion and muscle memory.
I liked JustinGuitar and Marty Music but similar to other online guitar courses, I find myself holding the guitar and not playing it. Most teachers just talk about the guitar, the pick, reading the tab, ways to play better... They show either one chord or all the chords in one video without any sample music. I cannot learn all of the chords at the same time. And, I cannot learn one chord just by playing that only one chord without any music. The others gets repetitive a lot, which is too boring.
I'm going to hold this guitar so you know I know what i'm talking about.
TNX.. a very good rundown on Fender Play. I was looking for just this type information.
Great shoutout for Justinguitar: the best resource on the net for learning guitar. And it’s free (though you should consider donating if you’re an aficionado.)
I agree totally with everything you said. Too slow for me after over a year with Justin guitar although I do pay Justin a small amount, as he is so good. And he is constantly updating his site. I was on FP and learned a few technique improvements but I use Justin and UG, GuitarTricks as they seem geared more to intermediate and beyond.
Thanks for doing the review of Fender Play. You answered some key questions for me.
He really didn't. All he did was mock it.
I like it so far. Finishing Level 1 now. I have used all sorts of resources, in-person lessons included, but what i am discovering is that it all comes down to your desire. Sure, in-person would have worked long term if i put the time in. Sure, Justin could teach me if i committed to following his videos. It all comes down to choice. I have been working at home for a year and tired of staring at my guitar hanging on the wall and not having someone to play it well. So i recently joined Fender Play. I am past my 2 week trail and just finishing level1. So what? I’m also a lefty playing righty, so what? Everyone’s Path is different, and for different reasons too. I like the format. I like the structure. I am learning all over again, which is fine by me cause i need to work on technique. Again, I’m a lefty. I paid for a year. I hope to stick with it this time. I want to. Even if vaccines make me go back to the office, my commitment is to continue to play. That’s the plan anyways. Whatever works for you, do it. Come on, $40/ year. That’s less than one bottle of decent whiskey or a nice dinner out with your +1. Make the leap. I feel this time, it’s worth it.
This lefty agrees with you!
justin and marty are the 2 best free ones on youtube. im still looking a good upper lvl intermediate site
I agree, justinguitar is awesome, but worth donating since Justin has done a stellar job!
I got a fender play ad right before this video
I was so close to joining a website (paid) to learn guitar but You saved me man! JustinGuitar is where my journey begins!
Thanks! Trying to buy my first Acoustic Guitar. The one I was looking at $120 with Fender Play! Then Next one up was without the Fender Play. So Thanks I will consider what you said. But since I already have some Beginner guitar Courses I guess I could skip the Fender Play option.
Great channel for a small channel. Your edits are great, I see you growing pretty big if you keep it up and stay interesting. I subscribed before 1,000. Before you get 100,000 lol. Btw your video was in the top 3 that popped up under "fender play" and you had the best thumbnail that made me want to click. I know it's good to get info like this when you may not know where you stand, yourself, in searches. Going to check out more of your stuff, thanks.
thank you :) glad you found it, and glad the thumbnail stuck out to you! i'm still trying to figure those out lol
Nothing like getting a fender play ad before a should u get fender app video
Rocksmith CDLC sorted 😎
“Is Fender Play worth it??” Sees ad at the start of this video, already downloaded the app......
Thank you so much for this video! Was really in between chosing Fender Play or Justinguitar and this helped me make up my mind!
Thanks for the helpful (and entertaining) review!
Thanks for making the choice easy for me.
Yet again, saved me time and money cheers bud
Thanks heaps for this video man. Fender Play just popped up on my Facebook feed as a sponsor ad claiming 3 months free.. But like you said, the main page tells you nothing.. I think I'll head to justin guitar.. Cheers..
Cheers man. Good balanced review of pros/cons
Thanks man !!!! I was going to recommend this to one of my friends...now I’ll jut forward your review to him
I really loved your presentation here thanks
i love your comment thanks
Thanks, man, this was exactly what I was looking for.
Everyone should check out active melody on yt. He teaches original compositions but breaks everything down and puts into context most anyone can understand
Thank you for this video! To the point, extremely helpful.
I got an ad for Fender Play after this video ended.
Songsterr all the way. Pay the 5 bucks and it's glorious, plus it's actually yours now. The best part is that when you see something you don't recognize, you can be like "wtf is that" and look up, for example, "What is the black diamond in guitar tabs?", and you learn by curiosity and anger
Also, it isn't necessary to buy the app, since they have an app for the web browser version, which has everything as well: looping, speed percentage, soloing an instrument, retuning the song to your guitar's current tuning. It's great. They aren't paying me, I just really love it since it's the best thing since Guitar Pro went subscription based.
Thanks man. I wonder if it’s changed at all since this video. Does it go beyond the 2weeks now??
I don't understand how a unbiased, unsponsored review of a product is among the first search results on RUclips.
Seems like AI isn't so intelligent after all.
The ad that I got for this video was yousician
oh no
Yousician is free!
@@markd4768 sorta
you have missed one major point, there’s ukulele and bass as well as guitar for the same price, and two weeks for 0-level 5 your kidding right! The lessons are 5 minutes or 15 minutes long and for busy parents and professionals it’s easy to fit in, and as it’s fender, two things you know it’s the correct technique and the resources are convenient packaged, the practice playbacks are ace. I don’t have time to trawl the internet looking for courses and this is perfect can’t recommend enough. And for completeness I have looked at Yousician and Justingutar as well still prefer fender.
Same here.
Fender is the Nickelodeon of guitars in 2019.
Thanks a lot I would have almost paid now you saved my money
Justin, Marty and andy are the ones i use.
I have had it for about a month, and am at level 5. I am getting back into it after not playing for a few years,. I think it is not bad for 10 buck, but I have not tried JustinGuitar yet.
Thank you. I scoured Fender's website trying to figure out exactly what was offered by their Fender Play service before giving up my credit card number. I couldn't find a thorough explanation of what they offered. I couldn't tell if it was like RockSmith where you plug your guitar into the computer and it analyzes your playing--there are a lot of people plugging in guitars in the promotional videos. I suppose they gotta make it vague and hype it up if it's mostly only tutorial videos, since you can find those everywhere.
I'll give justinguitar a look. Thanks again!
Active melody is the best I've found
never heard of it... i'll have to look into it tho
@@RedlightBlue $10 a month. I think its great that youve done this, a lot of guitar lessons out there and minimal reviews. I wanted to do some but suck on camera. Ive found Active melody and guitar tricks to be the best. Artist works is also good. Marty is a nice guy but his lessons are all over the place. Justin Guitar is awesome too but it can be more than you want/need to know and drag on a little.
I like active melody as well, he's got some stuff on there, Marco Cirillo as well for fingerstyle is great
What about Simply Guitar?
Simply Guitar vs Fender Play
Which one is better?
Redlight Blue -- I'm sure you hear this alot but thanks for saving me $10 a month. I"ll give JustinGuitar a try.
thanks for the advice...
You're welcome....
thank you
me: having a fender play 3 month subscription code. Looking if I should use it.
Thanks
I just laughed my ass out in Sophia / Instructor part. Great review! 😁
Fender Play has been making a recent ad push and since this video is a year old, any chance of checking it out and see if anything has changed?
Great Channel my man!
Thx dude:)
Who else here got a fender play ad before this video?
Everybody ;)
Adblock
Independent works betting because people buy in to real personalities when it come to lessons. For guitars people want brands but for lessons they want individuals. Look at Scott’s bass lessons who has a big personality. I believe Fender actually consulted with Scott about launching Fender play.
Saved me $10/month, cheers!
Cheers brother, awesome 👏 😎
I dont believe you should depend on any single teaching source. So much I 'almost understand' from one teacher, but then check out other RUclips teachers for different perspectives before its locked in. Also don't dismiss all the on line 'Written/diagram' stuff on subjects which really helps. JustinGuitar is an awsome free platform (and will be Super Hero status when he has more Android version apps.. nudge nudge, wink).
True
Damn this is a real person I always picture you as a stick figure. Thank you for helping me learn the neck btw
Ohh i’ll prolly just use up the free 3 months i got from the starter ack i bought, but that’s about it! Thanks for the help!
I like fender play. we use it for the kids and for ourselves
Here's a link to a three month free trial, where you don't need to enter your cc info! try.fender.com/play/playthrough
I bought my guitar in a pack and it came with free 3 month fender lessons. I’d say it was good. Did teach me a lot but the lessons expired before I could finish all of them
fender play is awesome!
What's is the name of this guitar of yours?
Thanks for the info. I'm trying to bust through from advanced beginner to intermediate so it's probably not for me (I know how to hold a pick). BTW just as an aside you're approaching the age where you probably shouldn't be wearing a backward baseball cap - Once you're grown up it just looks douchey.
It's a lot more than holding a pick needless to say, but you decide, not backwards hat boy.
i got a fender ad after the video lmao
Imo it's pretty good if you're just starting
You just saved me $10. Thank you!
Gibson tried this in the past, was too limited for many people.
Mart Music / use Justin for printed scales song notes lyrics But Marty has you learn by doing And he knows how to teach. Beginner to advanced..
Having used fender play, I was laughing so hard at 2:07
I was trying to find a guitar platform, my dad gave me guitar tricks and fender play, and we ended up getting an annual pass to fender play, however i thought that level 1-3 or something would be easy and 4-5 would be hard but its all super easy... im not a total beginner
I did not like guitar tricks at all
thanks for the video. I created a Justin guitar account after this
Cheers
thank you I love the truth
I bought a player telecaster. Do i get like a free subscription?
lol that RUclips robot is hilarious
Back in my guitar days I went to library borrowed a book how to play guitar and played songs by ear... I suck ass 25 years later
Yea I paid for a month but plan to cancel I'm trying Justin and like it so far
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Justin is way better!
Did you mention that if you sign up for a year of Fender Play you get a 10% discount at Fender on line and at participating dealers. I saved 177.00$. Well worth it.
Lol thats sweet
Fender Play is outstanding, IMO. Right now it's 3 months free, and you don't need to provide any payment info. Remember, this is for beginners. I've been playing for a year, using various free RUclips resources, including Justin Guitar (which is good). In 3 weeks, I've gotten through 2 of the 5 levels and have improved a lot.
Redlight Blue is wrong about part of his review. A beginner cannot get through all of this in two weeks, unless they are a guitar prodigy. This is setup in a way that it can help many users learn to PLAY guitar, rather than learn to play a song. Each lesson has a module that is an instructor lead tutorial, followed by a module that consists of tab with a click track of that tutorial. It's done in a way that encourages repeated drilling of the concepts until you get it right.
On the downside, the instructors are a bit dry. That may not suit everyone. What is nice, however is that when you don't feel like going through new lessons or repeating old ones to get concepts down, there is a decent library of songs and riffs setup in the same format: tutorial, then tab for drilling. All things considered, for 90 days free it's fantastic. And once my 90 days are up, I'll go right over to Justin Guitar and will pick up at where ever my playing level at that time dictates.
Thank you so much you just save me some money man
picked up the guitar 2 days ago... im not going past the 14 day free trial but I will say that so far it has taught me alot :) but Its not worth 10 hard earned dollars... I mean ill be done with all the lessons before the 14 days...
