A great feature for an online guitar course would be some kind of assessment tool before starting that allows you (or someone else) to determine the best starting point. One thing that is frustrating is that if you have some experience, you don't want to have to slog through the beginner stuff. But, at the same time you don't want to push into a space that is too advanced for you.
I’m trying out true fire now. I’m an “advanced intermediate” maybe. I find lots of it is too basic for me, and then the challenging stuff goes by too fast. But I have only tried a hand full of their courses. I personally have learned the most from Brett Pappa’s website. I’m a blues-rock lead player and Brett is great for that. His course on mixing major and minor pentatonic is excellent. He explains things well and played the licks serval times and varying speeds. Very good to intermediate to advanced
Words can't describe how informative this video is. I truly appreciate the in-depth overview of all the options you presented. I decided to opt for truefire since my goal is to play blues. Thank you so much!
I would chose a course where somebody will tell me how to set my tone to get in the same ball park where the song is. There is nothing more demotivating from playing than ugly tone... Which course does offer such a feature?
Another option is to buy a digital pedal or smart amp that you can download a patch close to what you are trying to play. Those patches are made from other useers and are free. I use spark 40, and there are cheaper options for this.
Thanks for the reviews. I'm torn between guitar tricks, fender play, and yousician. I think I learned a lot of the beginner stuff as a teen, but haven't played since. 40 years ago! I just want to get to maybe an advanced intermediate player. What would you suggest? Thanks!

Thanks for this video. I'm thinking of trying True Fire.
Fender play is starting to give feedback as a grade and 3xpanding their songs. Just released black hole sun full version.
This was great Thank you! I am brand new to guitar so based on your feedback I'm going with yousician. Thanks again!
Any views on Paul Davids courses?
Do any of these support seven string or eight string guitars?

May not be a course but there are tons of free youtube videos to learn about good gear for to sound like your favorite guitar players :)

I am curious on who you choose... I am in the same boat sold my Fender Strat after graduating College 35 years ago. Just decided to pick it back up.
