So to get 12 months at £17.40 (£156 off the displayed price) Use code 9jt29gc8f
Make sure auto renewal is off by the time it comes to the end of your 12 months, to avoid a full price 12 month sub
I'm shocked that this code still works, if I'm honest. It's a fantastic price for those starting out that need a helping hand. I'm not personally a fan of subscription services like these, mainly because of the amount of free content out there, which is ever-growing.
That said... I know it could be super useful to some and if those people are thinking of paying monthly for this, or enjoyed a trial and found that the price point is just to much at the moment... £17.40 for 12 months is pretty great. If you go for this, I'd say that it would still be a great idea to use places like YouTube, especially if you're wanting to expand on something you've learned along the way.
Just get stuck in and don't rush yourself when learning! It's hard going in the early days, so give yourself time and come join the hukd band

sorted byJust watch out for automatic renewal of subscription (no doubt at full price). I tried to cancel renewal from the Account / Billing settings as soon as I signed up but annoyingly it treats this as a cancellation of the whole subscription, according to their warning message. Could be because the first payment won't be made until after 14 days so it would be worth cancelling the renewal after that has happened
As such I wouldn't cancel straight away, just mark fwd in your diary to check in a year!!
I don't wish to hijack the thread, but if any experienced players have a tips, tricks or things to think about when starting out learning the guitar I'm all ears! Thanks
Take your time, progress isn’t so much steady but in bursts in my experience . it’s easier to learn something you want to learn and it’s a better feeling when you nail it. If you can play along to a metronome or drum track (YouTube.) it can really help your timing. Record yourself and listen back, it can really help. Most importantly, keep it fun.
I have one too which is going to renew for £44.99 in a few weeks. Do I have to cancel completely or is there a way to add the code to mu current sub?
Thanks.
Thanks!
I had a subscription during lockdown etc, expired and went with Rocksmith - but I just don’t enjoy it, I’m not ‘learning’ the guitar in the same way.
I have checked the renewal after buying this and it says it’ll also be £17.39 next year too!
I've tried Tyler Larsons "Music is win Guitar Super System and Bernth Shread Community. Tylers was just videos which did nothing and Bernth's was ok especially with the Guitar Pro files but lost motivation quickly. (edited)
I've just signed up to Fender Play - this is a mega offer and based on it's reviews, this is exactly what will help me improve.
Thanks so much for sharing this offer!
Signed up with PayPal, is there any way to see future payments a bit like a direct debit? The Payments section of my account only seems capable of showing payments made retrospectively, I'd just like to be sure that I can't be charged the full amount.
Thanks.
It's also very riff heavy - if I'm being cynical I'd guess that Fender are counting on people learning a few recognisable riffs that they can show to their friends in the hope that they then go out and buy a Fender guitar and amp which sit in the corner for years! Smart marketing.
But it is a massive marketing tool for them. I can’t stop looking at new basses! Although given the price of Mexican fenders I’m more likely to buy a sandberg
Also the discount code isn't working.
The only place I can see to add the code is by clicking on my Google payment method and selecting redeem code.
I uninstalled the app and used the Fender website which had the same prices as the OP and accepted the discount code.
I really did think I had missed the boat on this but it still works Cheers!!!
If you like the electric sound, into rock metal etc, then electric.
There are many shops which sell guitars : gak, guitar guitar, andertons,, thommann, etc
You can even try ebay for something used.
The budget can start from 100-200 pounds and can be limitless. Nowadays there are not many crappy guitars, as they used to be in the past . Almost everything sounds good and feels ok
Go to a music shop and see for yourself, feel them, get a basic idea about their sound and choose something that you like and will make you to want to pickup this guitar frequently to play.
Also, if you go for an electric guitar and you like the heavier sound, make sure that you get one with a humbucker pickup at the bridge (instead of a single coil).
