Sonora Guitar IntensiveReviews of learnwithsonora.com

I love the pace, tools, and structure. It’s overall very helpful and affordable

Sonora is super easy and effective way of learning. I've only been using it a few weeks and my skills have advanced tremendously!

The knowledge I gained about the guitar in general has been astounding. The mentors are great and the curriculum is wonderful and very thorough. At first glance it seems pricey however if you take advantage of all that’s available it’s actually cheaper than anything else there is

Carter is a truly excellent mentor, the best guitar teacher I've encountered in 20 years of playing. The Sonora software is also excellent, very easy to follow and learn. The classes and office hours that are available are also amazing. I was originally skeptical because of the different format to the usual in person guitar lessons but now I very highly recommend Sonora.

I recently enrolled in Sonora, however I had to cancel the next day because I had some other studd I had to pay off first before I could commit that much money to this. In doing so they have been nothing but helpful and they even offered me many different payment plans to try to get me what I needed. They've also told me to reach out in the meantime if I ever needed help with guitar. I know at the end of the day the people I was mainly speaking to were salesman and they are good at their job but they are extremely personable and you can tell that they have passion in really helping people have a good experience and get what they want out of the program. Also, they are super upfront with everything as far as payment goes, the reason I had to withdrawal was completely on my end not thinking everything through, but I plan on returning to the program once everything is figured out. Highly recommend!!

This is a great course with top notch musicians/instructors. It is structured in a way that makes sense and keeps you moving along, it is up to how much work you put into it. Not sure if the bad reviews are from people who actually have experience with the program as it looks like they are just bashing the initial call and the price but this is legit and everyone is great. You don't have to work with a mentor as there were different options when I was taking the course and continue to use their software online after my year of zoom classes were finished. I had the option to continue working through the program but with a recent move, couldn't dedicate as much time as I would have wanted to make it realistic. As I have said, I still use the software on just about a daily basis and continue to learn from it.

I am impressed. What stands out relative to other online courses is the personal attention you receive and the dedication of the teachers. It really is like a well-run music school, the difference being that it is online. That's OK, because the online tools available today plus well-designed software make the experience seamless even though you're not sitting in class. Yes, it's expensive, and I read the reviews complaining that one can learn the fretboard on your own with books like Fretboard Logic, etc. But a single book like that doesn't have anything close to the mentors, instruction, tools, and the commitment value you create for yourself from ongoing interactions that happen in this course--like a good music school. And my mentor is both a great player and a fantastic teacher. Just for background, I played guitar as a kid, completely self-taught, became a serviceable around-the-campfire guy and decent finger picker, but I never learned the fretboard well enough to transfer my musical chops to the instrument. Thirty years later, this course is gonna fix that issue.

The best part about Sonora is that they are constantly improving their programs. They have my favorite e-learning program for guitar, and are have great communication. There's a ton of material to go through!
