You know you've got it in you to be a great musician, right? You've got the talent. Now all you need is the right training.
Imagine yourself at a party or maybe at school, your guitar in hand, surrounded by people enjoying your music, and even asking you to play more for them. People always appreciate good music, and you may just find yourself the center of attention among your friends.
Or imagine yourself and your buddies putting a band together. Due to your great new sound, bars and clubs are actually calling to book you. People start to recognize you as you walk down the street. As you build a name for yourself, who knows? People may even start coming to you for advice or lessons! You may even end up on the radio!
Have you tried other online guitar courses before, only to give up in frustration because you weren't getting into the music fast enough?
A lot of guitar teaching programs out there are just not user friendly. A lot of them spend the first several weeks going over sight reading and music theory. After that they might introduce a few chords, or maybe a scale or two. It can be months before you know any songs with that type of program! Now I'm not saying that music theory isn't good, but unless you're going to teach at a conservatory, it isn't really necessary, and the process is very paper oriented and boring.
Or have you tried courses that were confusing and moved way too fast?
A lot of courses assure you that their training is great, and then just send you a booklet with pictures and diagrams that you probably could have bought for a lot less at a music store. These booklets are overly clinical and can be confusing. There is no interactive help, nowhere to go with questions, and no way to know if you're doing it right.
This is an exclusive site. All of the course information has been compiled and created by established guitar experts specifically for GuitarAlliance.com You won't find a program with this sort of depth and range anywhere else on the Web.
At GuitarAlliance.com we don't bore you with paper and pencil lessons. You start right out with a guitar in your hand. You will learn chords, scales, arpeggios and songs right from the beginning.

The materials you receive are totally hands on. Our step by step tutorials are presented in a combination of sound files, pictures, diagrams, graphs, MP3 tracks, and VIDEO to make everything absolutely clear. And if you don't understand something, just ask us. We offer excellent customer support and continually monitor and update the site.
Only 30 cents a day? Absolutely. We want to teach you how to play guitar better, not break your bank account. You can get started with Guitar Alliance and pay only about 30 cents a day, which is LESS than just one cup of coffee!

The simplest of exercises (and workouts) are making me a better musician."

I've been trying to learn how to play since May and your DVD was very good at teaching me exercises to build finger strength and stamina. the DVD has made me a lot quicker on switching fingers and my fingers have gotten stronger and I can hold the strings better." 
"g'day Andrew

I purchased both the Ultimate Fretboard Guide as well as the Amazing Guitar DVD, and my interest is through the roof, I can't put my guitar down, I feel I am progressing like I NEVER have before, after 100's of dollars in books, 1000's of dollars in guitar lessons, all which did nothing but frustrate me! Thanks so much for showing me the way it is really supposed to be done!
