Two thumbs up. Allen is not only an accomplished player but he is a gifted teacher. One may say to oneself: "I will never be able to do that!" but his program helps one want to try and to trust that there is logic and benefit from some of the challenging, yet boring, technique exercises. Zak is an inspiration as well.

A great course to start from zero or re-learn after years of bad technique Having looked into various online courses and having made use of Allen’s many free lessons I chose to subscribe and have been following the course for about 11 months. It is definitely well worth the money if you are trying to learn classical guitar alone at home. It has a great structure and a huge amount of content. Also a friendly and supportive Facebook group. I’m very impressed and would recommend it without hesitation as long as you are able to discipline yourself to follow the lessons.

my son is happy with your courses but… my son is happy with your courses but the prices are too high i dont know what to do the next month

Just what I was after I have been signed up to CGS for rather more than a year. My experience has been uniformly positive. I started from zero (as a guitarist, though I have a lot of musical experience). There are some limitations to an entirely online programme - though these are partially offset by the workshops and one-to-one video reviews. (I haven't made as much use of these opportunities as I should have done). Still, I sometimes wish there was someone there in the room to correct my technique. Some of the coaching is too detailed for me (as I already have a grasp of musical notation, score-reading etc.). But you can take and leave what you want. Allen Matthews is an excellent tutor. The right mix of humour and purposeful intent. He has an excellent support team. My progress has been slower than I would have liked - but that is entirely down to me. If you are looking for a self-directed programme of instruction from square one, I'd recommend CGS without reservation.
