Amazing skills!

During the quarantine period I decided to be productive and learn a new instrument. Luckily I had my old guitar and found Truefire and their YouTube channel! Intially it was a little difficult but the lessons by Rich Maloof sir were so clear, articulate and easy to follow that I eventually progressed! From learning the basics and now reaching an intermediate level with a little songwriting! Looking forward for more lessons, Truefire has been really helpful especially during such tough time!

Rich Maloof beginners acoustic is a must!

This was my first lesson ever & here i am almost a decade later and man im so thankful i found this first. Lessons are easy to understand, step by step instructions & all at your own pace. What more could anyone ask for? If you're a beginner & are serious about learning from a master, look no further & invest in this class. It's pennies in comparison to what you're getting in return. Lessons are endless people... I promise, join & you'll thank me later. Rich Maloof got me hooked & wanting to learn more & more. I can't thank truefire.com enough for changing my life & opening the door to endless possibilities. Great part is, you never stop learning no matter how good you get. Don't waste your time on YouTube videos. It's confusing and does more damage than good. Remember, you've got to learn to crawl before you can walk but with truefire.com on your side, you'll be running in no time!

Enlightened Mentor ☀️⚡️☀️

This 201 course reveals Mr. Maloof as an Enlightened Being ! A true Mentor's main characteristic is that of forseeing other's needs, presenting the appropriate solutions in a compassionate "on the same level", non-arrogant way: that is what this course is about, and that's what this instructor is all about. The learning process of difficult tasks is presented in a compassionate way and the student feels good (not just excited) about going through that process which might be an obstacle for her/him at that time, but keeps coming back to the lesson because the compassionate way the material is being presented makes us feel good about ourselves and about coping with thr obstacles, drawing pleasure from music, which is what it's all about.
