What is a TrueFire Learning Path?

Whether you’re a beginner, intermediate or advanced guitar player, TrueFire’s Learning Paths will take your playing to the next level with an accelerated, hands-on study plan. You’ll play your way through the entire curriculum — no reading music, no boring exercises, no tedious theory to struggle through!

Who are the Learning Path instructors?

108 world-class educators deliver insightful, engaging Learning Path experiences spanning virtually every style, technique and level of play. From GRAMMY winners, to top session players, top world renowned educators, your Learning Path will be guided by the best in the biz.

How do I choose a Learning Path?

Pick a style you would like to study; blues, rock, jazz, country or acoustic. Once you have your style picked out, go to that style’s learning path page.

How do I assess my current level of play?

Once you are on your learning path’s page, you will be able to see all the lessons in the path. You can then go through and classify each lesson or each Core course as “Completed, In Progress, or Incomplete”. As you do this you will see the results on the progress bar for those lessons and that Core course. This will help you assess what you need to work on to fill in the gaps and complete a certain Core course, and also show you where to go next.

How do I personalize my Learning Path?

The Learning Path system will first help you assess your current level of play, and then present you with a personalized curriculum of video lessons presented by TrueFire’s world-class guitar educators. Go to the How To Personalize guide.

Do I need to read music?

No reading music, no boring exercises, and no tedious theory to struggle through -- you will play your way through the entire Learning Path.

Do I have to follow the order of the lessons?

No. Feel free to jump around from one Core Course to another. The most important thing is keeping track of your progress as you using the Progress Tracking Tool and getting as close to 100% completion as possible with each core course in your Learning Path.

What are Supplementary Courses?

The main curriculum of the Learning Paths consists of the “Core” courses. However, each Core course has a series of Supplementary courses that allow you to go deeper and wider into the material covered in the Core course. Sometimes you need a little extra work on a subject in the Core course, and that is where the Supplementary courses come into play. Start with the Core course, and then check out the Supplementary courses for even more great related lessons to dig into.

Are Learning Paths a method?

Yes and no. Learning Paths are not a method per se, rather they’re a roadmap of the skills and techniques that you should be working on to advance to the next level. We encourage you to enhance your Learning Path studies by learning from as many other educational sources as possible. Go out and play or jam as much as possible. Learn hundreds of songs. Pick up what you can from other players. Get private lessons. Scour the Internet for information and videos. Experiment on your own.

How do I practice my Learning Path Lessons?

Our lessons are presented in easy-to-digest, bite-sized chunks so that you’ll never feel overwhelmed or frustrated. Unlike other learning methods that show you something and then send you off to practice on your own, our unique playalong practice sessions guide your practice every step of the way. Plus, you’ll be able to apply everything you learn with our practice band tracks so you can hear how your guitar parts sound with a band. Our accelerated, hands-on method is specifically designed to get you up and running quickly and painlessly.
