Online Classrooms Frequently Asked Questions
Why are TrueFire's Online Classrooms the best way to learn online?
With TrueFire's Online Classrooms, you get a personal educator to assess your guitar playing and build a custom lesson plan just for you! You have a real "guide" or "Sherpa" to help you down the path, instead of only watching videos on your own, who you can communicate with via unlimited video & text messaging in an online classroom.
Unlike real time Skype lessons, you don't have to take your lesson at 8:30 on Tuesday night - you can take your lesson at midnight after the kids are in bed, or at 7:00am before you go to school - whenever it fits into YOUR schedule!
TrueFire's Online Classrooms gives you the all tools you need to learn effectively and efficiently. Not to mention you are learning from some of the best players out there! Browse the Sherpa Instructors & Classrooms to learn more!
What do I get in an Online Classroom?
First off, you get an awesome interactive one-on-one teaching experience with
some of the top educators out there! You also get complete access to the 10,000+ videos in the TrueFire library.
Depending on the individual Educator you are working with, you will receive
several private lesson plans customized just for you. Plus, you will have the
ability to have your own videos reviewed and carefully assessed by your
Sherpa to ensure you are on the right path.
That is the real magic of the Online Classrooms - the interactivity! Of course not only do you get to interact
with your Sherpa Instructor, but you will be able to share info, tips, and
just hang with all the other members of your class - a GREAT way to build
friendships with other players that have similar interests as you.

What should I do once I enroll in an Online Classroom?
After you enroll, you will receive an email giving you some
cool links to things to check out, like the student orientation videos so you
can get familiar with all the cool tools the Sherpa has to offer.
You will
also get a link to a Self-Assessment form that will be super helpful for your
Sherpa to see where you are at and what some of your goals are. You should
also record a short video with your webcam of yourself playing some stuff for
your Sherpa to see.
Remember, the more information you can give to your
Sherpa Instructor, the better custom lesson plan they can put together for you!
I already take private lessons, should I enroll in an Online Classroom also?
Private lessons are great - they are the best way to learn provided you have a great teacher. But they still can be supplemented with an online study program that allows you to work at your own pace, and at a time of the day that works for you. All without paying for high priced gas to get to your lesson!
Plus, the Sherpa Instructors can cover a much wider range of expertise, so if you want to expand your skills in a certain direction, you will be able to with your Sherpa.
How often will I receive a new lesson?
That depends on your individual
Sherpa's plan. Your Sherpa Instructor can tell you when to expect your first lesson, and
then what frequency they will come. You can then practice them at your own
pace, with no time stress!
Can I enroll in more than one online classroom?
Absolutely! As a matter of fact, some students are using TrueFire's Online Classrooms as
their "Guitar College" - you can take a class in Acoustic fingerstyle, and
another in Shred, and yet another in Theory - that would give you an intense
and dynamic learning experience.
Each Sherpa instructor will give you a lesson plan
in their Classroom to keep you on track - AND you can keep track of it all in
your Student Lesson Plan section! So enroll away!
