★★★★★ Several Udemy reviews that will show you what students think of the course: ★★★★★

"This course has the most bang for your buck on the internet.

It could be called 100 things you wanted to know about playing guitar but were afraid to ask.

A lot of people can play guitar but can't teach. Cooper can play guitar AND teach! I have knuckled down to this course and I'm improving every day."

Trevor Harvey

★★★★★

"Cooper is a TOP NOTCH and Very Knowledgeable Instructor. This is not my first course with him. And I look forward to taking more of his courses. He is very dedicated, organized, responsive, and helpful. I am truly enjoying bettering myself on the guitar with his guidance, and his resource material is top notch as well and very organized."

Jeffrey Muckey

- high-quality sound

- the graphic design in the videos helps a lot

- fun and friendly!

Do you LOVE listening to music, and especially to songs with guitars in them?

Did you always wish to be able to play your favorite songs by yourself? (perhaps while singing along as well?)

Are you tired of long winded YouTube lessons and Udemy courses that get you nowhere? Or maybe you've been playing for some time, but the songs you play still don't sound good and seem like a lot of work?

Did you ever think that you're just "not musical" and won't be able to do this?

Well, I have exactly what you're looking for, and you're gonna love it. So if you love music - read on. 

My name is Alon Cooper, I am a professional musician and the founder of GuitarSongsMasters-com, one of the world's top five most read guitar blogs. (* source) I learned guitar by myself, and I am here to help you do it too, while solving a MAJOR problem in the music teaching world:

90% of the people who start playing the guitar - quit it within a year. (** source)

That's a shame to hear, but I know EXACTLY why this happens - and I worked hard to get the solution for you.

The Reason: Most teachers (online and offline) focus on too much fluff and don't really consider the player's wants and needs. Most lessons' final goals are too vague, too long winded, and lack a focus and understanding of what most people are really after - which is simply to play the songs that THEY love - out of their own hands. 

NOT playing boring scales. NOT playing some useless, generic melodies. NOT to have a 70 minutes lecture on what's a guitar strap.

Forget that. I am here to give you the QUICK RESULTS.

"An awesome course on guitar. I play acoustic but never went through a conventional guitar lesson or never took any lesson from a guitarist. I have learnt a lot of things that have halted my growth as a guitarist. There're some great valuable insights & tips that beginners can use and avoid training in the wrong way. The lessons and his playing is very clean. I have seen very few people play that clean and his equipments are amazing. Very clean playing and precise tutorials. You won't waste your time taking lessons from his courses." Khan Sami, India.

Instructor Details

Alon Kuper

My journey taught me that learning music shouldn’t be about rigid rules; it’s all about the magic of hearing YOUR favorite songs come out of your hands. People who learn this way - never quit playing.

I didn’t grow up in a musical family or go to a fancy music school. I was 19 when I picked up an instrument for the first time – the guitar – and everything changed.

That day sparked an ongoing 16-year adventure. I left my home in the Israeli countryside and slowly traveled and lived around the world, always with my guitar and harmonicas.

I soon realized that music is the most fun way to build new friendships and find your community. I experienced this everywhere, from rural towns in New Zealand, to more musical places I lived at – New Orleans, Austin Texas, Amsterdam, and Byron Bay in Australia.

My musical education came from an obsessive desire to learn. I dove into 100’s of books and courses, but my biggest lessons came from connecting with fellow music lovers wherever I was, jammin’ and learning together in living rooms and home studios.

Those experiences shaped my life mission: to help more people fall in love with music and feel more alive – through playing their favorite songs.

I believe music isn’t a rare talent you’re born with – it’s something you can grow into.

You don’t need to be a natural-born “musician.” You just need that early grain of passion, and your guitar or harmonica. If I did it, so can you.

Cheerful enthusiastic covering of basic useful tips with the expectation that "Of course you can do it, just put in some effort". Goethe's admonition: "Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is; treat a man as he can and should be, and he will become what he can and should be". So here's to the journey ahead! Politically Correct Disclaimer: applies to women as well :)

Excellent information- I wish I had this when I had started guitar. I had to learn a lot of these things the hard way. This course also provides a large amount of resources to get you started - you will be playing popular songs when you’re done. Lastly, the instructor is fabulous- he has an easy going demeanor and explains the lessons in a clear, concise manner. Highly recommended!

By Brittney LeBlanc on 5/25/2022

I was trained on the classical guitar up until level 7/8 in university, and as soon as I graduated I never picked up my guitar since then. Now here I am a decade later and I've had this urge to play songs I've wanted to learn for so long, and I realized that I stopped playing because I wasn't interested in the songs I had learned up until that point. Learning acoustic guitar is a bit different than the classical guitar and I was overwhelmed on where to start on things like reading tabs, chords, rhythm, strumming, style, etc. I have to say that I am so happy I found this course! It is exactly what I was looking for, and already I feel like I'm learning and improving. And the resources included are amazing! It is definitely well worth the investment. I highly recommend this course whether you're a total beginner or have previous experience like myself. Thank you for putting this together. I look forward to finally learning to play the songs I'm passionate about!

By Nicole N on 8/16/2019

I'm about 25% of the way through the course. I'm not a newbie to guitar. I took this course as a refresher to get back into playing regularly. So far, I am enjoying this course. For beginners, this course is a great way to jump in a learn a few songs. The instructor is very knowledgeable and gives great tips and tricks to form good playing habits. I really appreciate the handouts/books the instructor provides as part of the course.

By Andrew on 6/25/2019

I appreciate Cooper's willingness to share his love for music and his thorough knowledge of the guitar. I especially like how he breaks down popular songs and de-mystifies the song structure. This has greatly helped me to get past the "fear" I had of trying to tackle new material. This is a great course for those of us who are beginning and for those who have been playing a while, but need to break free of the rut. Thanks Cooper.

By Meta Parham on 2/4/2019

I realize this course was too advance for me but was not able to get a credit or coupon to try another course. During registration it was clearly stated that you could get your money if you were not satisfied. This was not the case. At one point the instructor offered a coupon but when I tried to retrieve it for another class, he did not respond. I tried to follow up several times without success.Very disappointed. .

By Ariel Raskin on 11/16/2018

Good course for beginners. In case you've got a guitar and don't know what to do this course is highly recommended. Easy and relaxed style, a lot of useful tips and exercises. This course helps you to understand directions and important point in guitar playing. A good starter kit: chords, types of strokes, rhythms. You will understand your guitar better.

By Dennis Kubon on 7/26/2018

Ich (34, musikalisch unerfahren) habe in den ersten Stunden die ersten Akkorde gelernt, zahlreiche Tipps und Hinweise verinnerlicht und Dinge verstanden, die mir als absolutem Laien bisher immer merkwürdig vorkamen. Alon gibt ein angenehmes Tempo vor und wechselt regelmäßig zwischen Praxis und Theorie, so dass es nicht langweilig wird. Die kleinen Demonstrationen zu Beginn der Übungen motivieren mich sehr stark. Bei den Übungen nutze ich PC, Tablet und Smartphone und wiederhole Inhalte auch gerne mehrfach. Den Übungen und Lerninhalten kann man auf jedem Gerät sehr gut folgen. Ein sehr guter Kurs und ein großartiger Lehrer!

By Adamszewicz Miłoszewicz on 7/26/2018

Course is perfect for begginers. The best in the whole internet. Seriously! - Alon describes perfectly & easy to understand & encourage to play your favourite songs so it doesn't feel like...well another guitar tutorial, it feels like...'HELL YEAH!' - it lets you learn how to play on guitar, not like Yousician lerns how to play Yousician - hight quality sound - graphic design in videos helps a lot - fun and really friendly! - A LOT great tips (seriously... I'm learning to play ukulele and I'm using them) - you get many info to print which is awesome - tutorial is with mind that you might have a 8h job and responsibilities and how to learn even then 5/5 start and recommend it with my heart

By Julie Wynne McClintock on 11/20/2017

This course is a quick, forward method to get going on the guitar! It's great because you just get some basics needed to play the guitar! In the past I've ended up quitting because of getting stuck in too many complications on how to do something. I love that this course gets right to the practical aspects of just playing. Looking forward to getting to the rest of the lessons. The other point I want to add is that you can tell this instructor cares about his students as he keeps adding additional content the course to make it better all the time! Kudos!
