Stompin Willy,
Great content and lessons, but the Apps are flaky
First off, I want to differentiate between the service, lessons and content, and the applications. Like the title says, I think the content is great. That said, I am not a fan of any of the interfaces into accessing it, whether it’s the web, the native Mac app, or the iOS app on an iPad. They all have some annoying quirks and glaring bugs that really need to be addressed. I’ve caught issues with keeping things in sync across the apps as well. The most annoying thing on this app is that it will start auto playing when I bring it to the front, and the only way to stop it is to find which specific lesson is playing and stop it. Starting a different lesson will just cause ANOTHER thing to start playing in addition. The preference for background playing is off. I just kill the app and then start it again instead. I’d love nothing more than to come back and give this five stars, because I think the content deserves it. But, the quality of the apps has to improve. As is, I think it’s bad enough that it detracts from the over all solution. Haven’t had any bad experience on the TV app. Yet. Please, put some attention on tightening things up. The content deserves it.
CTracer9,
Just what I need
First of all it’s nice that you don’t have to have a subscription to get what you need out of this. Any courses you buy (and they aren’t terribly priced) are yours. You can go on a subscription basis and have access to everything if you want, but you don’t have to.
The lessons so far are good and in nice digestible chunks that you can go back to as often as you need to. The instructors so far are clear and it’s nice how they integrate a lot of the music basics without it being a bunch of straight music theory.
I love the fact that you play right along and you can speed things up or slow things down. They also don’t try to rush you through the lessons. As a matter of fact you need to get used to “OK, when you have that down come back for the next lesson”.
It’s not like you’re playing some kind of video game, but if I wanted to play video games that’s what I’d do. If you want to learn how to play guitar this is the way to do it.
Another big plus is the incredible variety of styles and instructors. Great stuff!

Amazing instructors
I haven’t got an instructional product yet that hasn’t been immensely helpful and enjoyable, and I have a lot. The breadth of instructors and styles is impressive but they’re also always expanding the variety of things they offer from video lessons to live master classes to jam tracks to private instruction. And they have amazing sales and five dollar download deals that should be illegal to offer at that price. I recently purchased $99 sale deal which included in the jam instruction and some private lessons. I was blown away by the experience and quality of instruction with the app and video exchange. The private lessons I received from Frank Vignola and Sheryl Bailey were so helpful and insightful that I’ll be referring back to them for guidance for months to come. They went the extra mile to discover and meet my specific needs. If you want to grow on your instrument and get the biggest bang for your buck on the Internet then there is no need to look any further! Thanks TrueFire!
TommySaidSo,
UPDATE: Issues playing the videos
UPDATE: The issues with the video player seem to have been fixed on the iPad so I have updated my rating. It’s good to see that the developer is still improving the app. I love their content and have purchased several of their classes. (Note that you can often get the classes for a little bit cheaper if you purchase them from the website rather than the app.)

I give the content 5 stars, but the app is a hot mess. The videos rarely play on the first try, even when downloaded. I often have to quit the app and restart it to get them to work. When they do finally play, the playback controls are often missing. Strangely I have the same issues in the Mac app and in the web interface, so it’s not limited to the iOS apps. And it’s been this way since I started using TrueFire, so the developers must not in a hurry to fix it. It’s a shame, because the content is great if you are able to view it. You’d think a business that relies on video would have a stellar video viewing experience.

Starting over
I’ve been playing “beginner” guitar for almost 40 years. My wife just gave me a new guitar for Christmas prompting me to look on-line for guitar lessons. I read the reviews for TRUEFIRE and decided to take the plunge. It was amazing how many bad habits I had picked up over the years that became evident with the first course (I started with the beginner course and worked through it over a period of 4 days - could have done it quicker but I needed to slow down and correct my technique). Now with fingers that hurt like the dickens, I am practicing the basics along with our fearless teacher. I look forward to progressing through the lessons as things become more complicated - but plan on going slowly to develop the muscle memory needed to cement things the right way this time around. It is nice to be able to proceed at my own pace and to control the schedule around my lessons.

iOS 14 Compatibility Problem Solved
LATEST UPDATE: After a couple of weeks of receiving no help from Truefire, I finally received a private developer response (not posted here) stating that in iOS 14, it is necessary to go to Settings, find the Truefire app, and enable the “allow network access” choice. I did that, and the app now progresses beyond the frozen startup graphic.
I have raised my rating from one star (because the app would not work at all) to four stars (now that the app finally works). However, I am still docking one star because of the long delay in providing the info necessary to get the app working. None of the earlier responses I got from Truefire hinted at this solution.
Also, the app still has serious bugs. Once you enter a course, there is no way to get back out to the main menu. You have to quit the app. Another area of ios incompatibility? Who knows.
Prior (unhappy) review:
Don’t download it if you’re on iOS 14 because it will never get past the little opening graphic.
UPDATE: Truefire initially claimed that there are no compatibility problems, then said that some iOS 14 users were having problems but they were being fixed that very day. That was many days ago, and since then dead silence from Truefire.
So heed my warning — if you have iOS 14, don’t be surprised if the app breaks. It has nothing to do with the quality of the content; the quality is meaningless if the courses will not run on your device.

Superior Instruction But Site is hard to Navigate
I’ve had the course for a year. Taken two beginning blues courses. The instruction is by far superior to anything I’ve experienced anywhere. The lessons are extremely thorough. My only issue…the site….I don’t quite understand how to return to the last lesson I competed or take advantage of the backing soundtracks or, for example, go to full screen with revolving tabs….I could use a guide to the symbols that make this happen…..
Regardless, especially these issues rest with me due to limited tech experience…..Trufire, clearly, is the most thorough and professional site I’ve experienced as an advanced beginner…the instructors are off the charts superior and lesson skills are graduated perfectly

Fantastic Content
TrueFire is the leader in the online music study scene. They snagged some incredible artists to teach...Pat Martino, Larry Carlton, and so many more. Unfortunately, there are some logistical issues with the app itself. They desperately need an auto-play setting...as of right now, you need to press play after each section of the lesson ends. The video and PDF viewing controls can get messy and would be so much more user-friendly with a few simple tweaks. Whenever you tap to enter full screen videos, you get a prompt asking which full screen format you want. When you have your instrument in hand and you’re focused on the content, a little prompt like that gets very annoying very quickly. It could be taken care of very easily with a “default full screen format” setting. Overall, TrueFire is a fantastic app that every serious studying musician should use.

Amazing way to learn guitar
I took private lessons for years and with my horrible ADD I just couldn’t focus and see the big picture as well as I felt they were holding me back to keep me going long term. With TrueFire learning paths and studying with whom and what I want to learn I have progressed a thousand percent in the last year. You just be careful though as I like a lot of different music and tended to buy courses that I liked and were on sale during any given sale event and now I own dozens and haven’t completed any, lol. I just keep reminding myself it’s a long journey to mastery and eventually I will get through them all. You have to be careful not to get overwhelmed and bounce around too much. I find it best to dedicate myself to one course for a couple weeks or a month and then when I’m ready for a different style I move to another course and do the same. This has proved invaluable for me and my skill level has improved exponentially in all my favorite styles. Thank you TrueFire and all educators for this wonderful learning method.

Could Have Been a 5
I’m fairly new to TrueFire and I’m already fan of the lesson format. Audio and video synced with the sheet music, plus the looping and playback speed controls are all brilliant, especially when used together. The lessons are very high quality and I find the instructors knowledgeable, easy to follow and engaging.
Why not 5 stars? I love the experience on the iOS app, but there is one flaw: I can’t access In the Jam content on my iPad, at least not for the Joe Bonamassa bundle I just purchased as a first time user. Odd though that the In the Jam sample content is available and works fine. :shrug: TrueFire support assures me an update is coming soon, but that I’ll have to use a Mac or PC for now. That’s a reasonable workaround, though somewhat disappointing.
