It's more the presentation style for me, they are a bit dry. It's like a bunch of college students were required to record some instructional videos as a class assignment. Maybe it's improved, it's been several years since I poked around.
I don't need the encouragement as much as the mix of tabs and views of the fingerboard. I'm still developing the sense of what fingering corresponds to each note, so I value the video that shows it even if I have to think through what that corresponds to on the musical staff.

Ahh I think I know what you're getting at. They basically read a script and use the exact same phrases like "Let's get tuned up" and "I'll count you in" lol. They also kinda bash you over the head with product placement. I don't think anyone naturally fills up their studio with nothing but Fender gear like that lol.

The material itself is pretty ok to me, but it is incredibly basic and as I recall, won't actually help you through an entire song. It's mostly neat little techniques and music riffs. All good stuff to play around with.

Justin OTOH teaches you how to sing & play a handful of simple "campfire" style pop songs within the first few days lol. IIRC there's even one where you just play the same chord to a rhythm and that's the song.

I paid like $15 for a year of fender play and can't say I feel ripped off, even if I only used it a few times. It was neat. I could see someone else getting more out of it than I did. Honestly I got some stuff out of JustinGuitar too, and then moved on. I could've learned more for sure though. Big Grin

Looking to get one for a teen wanting to learn. Some have told me acoustic is easier to learn than electric. Is this true or does it not matter?

Never heard of this Nashville Guitar Works brand. Is the guitar any good? Is it a re-badged squire?
Take six, three-foot lengths of fishing line, wind them around around a stick, and duct tape that to a shoebox. That's the $119 model.

Completely the opposite. Acoustics will have a higher action so it will hurt your fingers more to press down the metal strings, especially at the very top of the guitar which is where beginners will start with when they are learning the basic open chords. Electric on the other hand will be much easier to press down and can be adjusted pretty quickly and easily to lower the action further if the person wants to vs typically having to take your acoustic to someone and pay them to adjust for you.

Did not work for me. Maybe this is why- "Offer expires on December 31, 2023".

It's not a bad guitar. It is what it is for the price. Don't be a guitar snob.

Thanks so much for the response I appreciate it!
