Only a handful of people on the planet can deliver the instructional goods on guitar as well as Andy Aledort. Andy has served as senior editor for several top guitar magazines, has authored over 200 guitar instruction books, and has studied the styles and techniques of virtually every major electric blues and rock guitar artist in history. You’d be hard pressed to find anyone better qualified to present a more thorough guitar lesson curriculum than Andy Aledort.
Over the last 10 years, Andy Aledort has sold over one million instructional DVDs, and continues to produce new DVD products for Guitar World and TrueFire. There are many additional Aledort products on the market available from other companies such as Hal Leonard and Alfred Music. PubAledort has also been featured nationally on Comcast Music On Demand every day, seven days a week. All of the many different products he’s created for GW are featured, including excerpts from his Axis: Bold as Love and Electric Ladyland instructional DVDs.
Aledort has been touring for the last eight years with Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers and plays slide guitar in the band. Additionally, he appears on the new “Dickey Betts & Great Southern: 30 Years Of Southern Rock” 2 Disc DVD and the double live CD, “The Official Bootleg”. Aledort regularly participates in the Jimi Hendrix Tribute Tours of the last nine years and is featured on the live Experience Hendrix DVD available from jimihendrix.com appearing with Paul Rodgers, Buddy Guy, Hubert Sumlin, Mick Taylor, Mitch Mitchell, Billy Cox, Robert Randolph and others. He’s also performed and recorded many times with Double Trouble, Stevie Ray Vaughan’s rhythm section of Tommy Shannon and Chris Layton. They appear with Aledort on a cut from his upcoming studio album.
Andy Aledort performs regularly in the tri-state area with his band, the Groove Kings, and are looking to expand their touring parameters. They released an acclaimed studio album, Put A Sock In It, a few years ago, and released an equally highly-regarded live album, Live at North Star, in 2009. Aledort has two albums worth of studio material that is planned for release within the next two years.
Andy Aledort is a great guitarist who is currently climbing the charts with his new releases. I've picked up a lot from his instructional videos of the last several years on TrueFire as well as other sites. Andy ti me, is always quick to respond, takes the time to answer questions, and/or reply to messages on social media. I really enjoyed his "The playing style of Chicago blues legend Robert Nighthawk" video. You can learn a lot from his style of playing...I highly recommend it.

An educator who is totally admirable for his style, creation and execution on the guitar, in addition to the material he provides and the advice he gives are useful to avoid making mistakes, all of the above together makes you can learn a variety of concepts to increase your information and skill with the guitar.
One of the best guitarists you can have as a teacher to progress.

Longtime fave......
Seems like I have been learning from and enjoying Andy for many years. I still have my trusty How To Play Like Randy Rhoads DVD from way back and now have joined Truefire to get some of Andy's (and others) inspirational teachings on slide guitar.
I have always appreciated Andy's laid back, comfortable and familiar style; it always feels like enjoying a great book on your favorite chair or couch. I always feel a great sense of authenticity and passion in his lessons, nothing is ever forced or artificial sounding.
Thanks for everything Andy and keep up your amazing style of work!

Total master class
Andy is definitely an excellent guitarist and his mastery of the guitar is admirable. The experience he has playing is reflected in his knowledge and skills.
Starting out on the guitar is an amazing activity and having a master like Andy as an instructor is a great help because of the lessons he has. Listening to his playing is fun because his style is inspired by great guitarists who made rock history.
