Total Guitar TransformationReviews of ulrichellisonguitar.com

Total Guitar Transformation is an absolute game-changer for anyone over 40 looking to rediscover their musical passion! Working with Ulrich Ellison has been an incredibly enriching experience. His approach is refreshingly different—focused more on playing and improvisation than getting bogged down in complex theory. I especially appreciate how Ulrich tailors his teaching to adult learners, making every lesson feel accessible and motivating. The community he’s built is so supportive, and his personal feedback really helps push you to improve in ways you didn’t think were possible. If you’re over 40 and ready to take your guitar playing to the next level, this program is a must!

$4000 for a year of him saying keep at it. For a 4 yr player there was little value for me to get a handle on Hendrix. I can mime. But I cant get away with knowledge I dont possess. The course takes you through boot camp by simply miming exercises and assumes the student understands the theory behind it. And for what? To play Hendrix tunes yet not receive the understanding for the major and minor arppeggios and transistions that lead to true understanding. Any questions are briefly given during weekly meets but theres little substance to the lessons that provide a guitarist with fundamental music skill.

Melodic chordal soloing is a great corse demonstrating the Hendrix approach with hammer on double stops in each of the 5 cages shapes. I knew bits and pieces of this approach in 30 years of playing guitar but can now use every position in a structured way. This approach with some lead playing sound a lot more melodic and rhythmic as well

I am loving the course...you quickly come to realize where you are in the maj pentatonic shapes when the play the chordal shapes...so you can easily transition from one to the other

I joined Ulrich’s TGT Program beginning 2024 and have never regretted it since. Within TGT, Ulrich really offers you a structure and assignments and objectives to grab and dive into so that the right practice will make you a better musician, playing lead guitar. The weekly zoom sessions offer you the possibility to reflect and ask questions about your practice and progress. The TGT site offers a myriad of relevant theory, practice and assignments. You get personal feedback on your progress by posting videos of your progress. And on top of all, Ulrich is a really nice person, always interested, positive and willing to help you advance in a very personal way.

If you grow tired of watching countless videos on YouTube that promise to make you a better player. As a self-taught player it was my go-to resource. If that leaves you feeling like there is more to it, you may look into investing in yourself and get put on a path that will give you the foundation to be a solid guitarist. You get honest feedback, video classes and great support from Ulrich and company. Something YouTube doesn’t provide. Plus the community is so awesome and encouraging. It’s incredible to be on a journey with so many others all wanting to be the best guitar players they can be. No competition or egos. Ulrich is a fantastic player, and really wants you to be as well. He is a very knowledgeable teacher and will be your biggest fan. You do have to put in the work and effort. But nothing worthwhile is ever easy. I can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve ever made for myself related to guitar playing. Wish I would have done it sooner. I’ve only been doing it for two months and have noticed improvements. Which really helps in keeping me motivated.

I joined TGT about 6 months ago. I started playing guitar in my early teens and have played in local bands on and off for years. I got to a point in my playing where I could play songs and knew a few scales. But I was stuck. I wasn’t getting better, and didn’t really have an understanding of what I was doing. I wanted to learn and get better. I tried some other online programs and they were somewhat helpful, but no feedback and no indication anyone really had any interest in my progress. With Ulrich and his team, all that changed. One on one feedback, a “basic training” program that is far from “basic,” that gets your skills up for the main program. FOUR live lessons a week, homework reviewed and analyzed by Ulrich. The material is organized and will take you as far and as deep as you are able or care to go. I truly believe there is nothing out there comparable. Then “Transformation week’” intense solid week of in person training with Ulrich and his pro band and staff, Bart and Miguel, with our own live performance nights. On a personal level , Ulrich, is the real deal both musically and as a person. If this review seems over the top to you. I mean it to be. TGT is that good.

I am playing guitar since almost 50 years, but for decades I have been noodling around, and for almost 20 years, as many other colleagues, I have been blocked by a rather exhausting job. With 62 years I started again with online lessons, but there the problem is usually that one cannot get enough feedback. I now have a real teacher in my hometown, what works best for me. Then I saw Ulrich Ellison playing Hendrix stuff and offering an online group focusing on Jimi’s galaxy and other great themes. It was and is a wonderful extension of my personal lessons. Meeting the other people in weekly online sessions is helpful and fascinating, since one can interact with the teacher directly. Ulrich Ellisons advices for your videos — which you can post within the closed group of the TGT Academy — are extremely competent, very detailed and always absolutely constructive showing you what might be your next steps. He is an extraordinary educated musician, a great teacher and a world class guitarist. Taken together, since my work within the TGT my guitar playing and musicianship as an amateur has developed tremendously. The highlight of my music life was just the week together with other students in Austin/Texas. Meeting and interacting in the real world with professional and friendly musicians giving you a 1 to 1 feedback is a life changing step. I experienced a real transformation!! Thank you, Ulrich Ellison and all you people there working hard for us guitar enthusiasts!!
