Total Guitar TransformationReviews of ulrichellisonguitar.com

After years of campfire chords and directionless noodling on guitar - I decided I wanted more - to play with confidence and feeling. Just by chance I bumped into Ulrich Ellison and his TGT guitar academy - a stroke of very good luck. His focus on structure, fast accurate feedback and personal attention - with a strong emphasis on Hendrix's style - is a powerful recipe for developing top notch guitar skills. Along with a very positive and supportive group of other guitarists on a similar journey in our facebook group - who offer support and encouragement - my guitar skills are now way beyond campfire chords. My progress has exceeded my expectations and I feel very lucky to have met such an excellent, accomplished instructor/mentor who cares and who gets it.

I learned whole my life the guitar by myself, (Autodidakt) I wasn't good but I had fun and I liked the few things I played on the acoustic. Last year, I came to a point where that wasn't anymore sufficient to me. I wanted to express the sounds which I feel inside myself on a guitar. Plus, I wanted to learn how to play the electric myth. What a task and what a challenge. I've search for ages on the internet, lost almost my believe and by coincidence (maybe not) I saw Ulrich's TGT. A couple of days later I had a personal conversation with him, via Zoom. He asked me several things, he "tested" my abilities on the guitar by playing some notes and asked to repeat and finally he said, that he would like to teach me more and how I can discover the secrets of transferring the inner voice onto the guitar. He insisted that this only would makes sense if I am willing to spent at least 30 minutes a day on the guitar. How right he was. Now, a year later I am not Hendrix, no, neither I am Carlos, no, but I am far from what I was before I met Ulrich and his academy. I know, that if I am persistent in my practising that I will become the guitarist I almost wanted to be. Whoever reads that, do yourself a favour, stop searching, give yourself the chance to become structured in your studying process, become part of a worldwide and lovely community with direct contact if you wish so. Become part of a group dynamic process which will kick your butt and last but not least, for all the work, the patience and the dedication Ulrich is putting into that academy and his students, it is worth every single penny. Go for it.

Ulrich is very hands on! Easy to talk to and a awesome guitar teacher! For what he offers his prices are so reasonable. For the guitarist looking to improve his or her playing I highly recommend TGT!!

I think that Total Guitar Transformation is a great investment. Ulrich's approach is excellent, and the best part is that he meets players where they are and is very patient. I have been playing for over 40 years and am still learning and working on my discipline, this program greatly helps in that. The workshops are top notch with some of the best players in the world. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to improve their playing and get out of their box. Kudos Total Guitar Transformation Team!!!

I've been playing guitar for almost 40 years now, starting as a self taught teenager. Stopped for some years due to the normal life's distractions... :-) When I started again some years ago, I felt stuck in my learning. Always the same licks, no progression. I've been trying several online learning classes and youtube lessons, but got lost most of the time. Ulrich gave me the right structure, tools and taks, to make leaps in my playing. His reviews and hints in my work are motivating but honest :-) In one year TGT I learned more that in the decades before. Best money invested for me!

I've been playing the guitar since the time we waited anxiously for the latest Guitar Player Magazine so we could get some tabs, or when people used to slow down vinil, or even sell a tape deck player with low speed so one could figure out that EVH solo. Well, that was a bliss because we did not have elsewhere to look for instruction. Nowadays, we are bombarded every second by 3s youtube videos that teaches you anything from hybrid picking to any scale you want. The end result: you get lost and there's no structure in the learning process. There's no feedback. There's noise. You may even become a master of tricks, but never really get "music". There used to be a time when guitar players hung out to just exchange ideas, while listening to some music and commenting. Well, TGT is a modern version of that, with Ulrich as the conductor, and a bunch of cool, motivated, knowledgeable guitar players that ask all sorts of questions twice every Tuesday. The question you forgot to ask? Someone may ask for you. But the key thing is the question you never thought about asking. Those are the ones that as a team we learn more effectively. We record our videos and post, and get almost instant feedback from Ulrich and our guitar mates. 6 months into the program my playing and judgment on what is worth studying and getting in depth perspective have completely changed. I really love the program, and I am only limited in my time to get more from it. In an era where no one has time, those two hours a week make up for everything guitar you wanted to know. Ulrich *knows*. And he is not only talented, but versatile and answers stuff on the spot, from Bossa Nova to Metallica. If I would join the program again? Of course. I am now learning how to play the guitar. One last thing - I used to believe gear was important. To a certain extent I still believe that. Yet, I am discovering something odd as I am 6 months into TGT... I change the guitar, amp, pedals, and I get the same sound. I believe this is when you actually start to understand guitar, when it all sounds the same (goodbye GAS), and you get the sound from your fingers. That's your sound.

I joined TGT in April 2023. Despite the fear, this could be „just another online Programm“, Ulrich beeing the humble and caring person he is, is giving advanced guitar players not only a place where they can grow, but where they feel home. Weekly live sessions where questions get a direct answer and even if you need help, every mail gets almost instand reply. Besides you join a super menthal and awesome community via Facebook that you are in contact with every day. I made many friends for a lifelong guitar journey. The sky ist the limit. Ofc, you need to put a lot of work into this. You get out of it what you put in. Don’t expect wonders. Ulrich teaches you how to learn and grow as a musician. See u at TGT - Cheerz, John

Total Guitar Transformation has been and continues to be a great source of education and inspiration! Ulrich Ellison is a caring, passionate teacher and has created great place to see, touch and feel musical inspiration. His own accomplishments are many and his ability to inject his passion into his students progress is without equal. I've had some personal setbacks that have slowed my growth but I have made significant progress since joining TGT and fully intend to gain much more. I've tried other lessons, in-person and online, but never had a teacher like Ulrich! Even though my growth has been hampered a bit by my own issues I have had Ulrich's full attention whenever needed. One of my biggest personal gains is how much I understand now about so many things related to, guitar in specific, and music in general. I learned things I didn't know I needed to learn and I'm looking forward to learning a whole lot more! I'm definitely a better guitar player now than I was when I started but I'm looking forward to the guitar player I am likely to become if I follow Ulrich's guidance. You will not regret becoming a TGT member!!
