I especially enjoy the interactive feature for lessons. I’ve been working on Blues Guitar Method 1 for a few weeks and the lessons on Visualization and Improvising are totally changing the way I view and navigate the fretboard.
If you’re serious about playing, and really looking to improve your Blues and slide playing, this site is the place to be

I would like to say that I have found your lessons, approach and website extremely valuable. Easily the best I have seen online.
I have played for decades in amateur bands and I came here to learn Slide. So apart from achieving some success with that, the bonus has been my right hand finger technique has developed amazingly for all playing, not just slide. That is, I was a pick player mainly before but I’m now using a hybrid method most of the time.
So many thanks for your help. All the best, Rick

Hi John, I just wanted to pass along that I’ve been loving your courses. I’ve always loved slide guitar and have dabbled with it over the years but never really put it together. In just about a month now, my slide guitar playing has improved tremendously. I’m sure that I would have never reached even this level if I hadn’t lucked out by finding your website.
I broke out my new skills at our first band practice this week (it’s been a few months since we practiced last due to covid). Even though it was pretty rough, everyone was pretty impressed. I’m excited to keep going with your courses and looking forward to the day that I can bust out an awesome improvised solo at one of our gigs. Thanks so much for this awesome content that you have put together!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions you may have about the All Access Pass.
I’ve never played guitar before is the All Access Pass right for me?
Probably not. While there is some beginner material on the site, the bulk of the content is made for guitarists who have been playing for a year or two. If you know the first position pentatonic scale and can strum a few chords then you should be fine.
I’m an Intermediate player. Will your lessons work for me?
This site has been created for the Beginner/Intermediate player so you will find a wealth of information to make your blues playing sound much more polished and improvisational.
Does the All Access Pass work on mobile phones, the iPad and iPhones?
Yes. The All Access Pass works on all devices including iPad, iPhone, Android, Kindle, Mac, PC.
Can I get a refund if I don’t like the All Access Pass?
Yes. If for whatever reason you’re not 100% satisfied in any way we have a 30 day money back guarantee. I want you to succeed, and know that if you become a member of the All Access Pass and really put your heart and soul into it… you will see results! John W Tuggle *Note – The 30 day refund period only applies to your first subscription and can’t be used more than once. To receive a refund you must send an email to info@learningguitarnow.com request a refund.
Can I print the tabs to each lesson in the All Access Pass?
Yes. All tabs that are contained in the All Access Pass can be printed.
How fast of an internet connection do I need for the All Access Pass?
I recommend having an internet connection of at least 10 Mbps to use all of the video features and have the site run smoothly.
Can I upgrade to an Annual Membership later?
You sure can! You can upgrade to annual membership any time with a couple of clicks from your account page. On your next billing cycle your subscription will be charged at the yearly rate.
Why should I join today instead of waiting?
It’s time for you to take action. Simple as that. If you really want to get better at playing the blues then it is very beneficial to get answers from someone who has been there, played blues onstage for decades, and has spent years teaching students how to improve their guitar playing.
Put simply, learning certain guitar techniques does take some time so the sooner you start, the better.
Can’t I just find lessons on YouTube?
You actually can. The only problem is that if you don’t know what you need to learn, then it’s hard to know what to search for. Also everything that is taught on YouTube is not necessarily the best way to go about learning things. I have taught students for over 2 decades so I can guarantee that the lessons I teach have worked with students offline and online.
Do you want to spend your time searching or practicing things that you know will get your better? I guarantee you will find some very useful lessons that will take your playing to the next level if you practice.
Can I download the videos that are in the All Access Pass?
No. The videos in the All Access Pass are streaming only and can’t be downloaded.
Member Reviews
Read what real members of Learning Guitar Now had to say about the lessons.
Hi John, I’m sending you a quick note to say how much I am LOVING being a member of Learning Guitar Now. Your guitar tuition is second to none and I am learning exactly what I had hoped to.
Currently I am working my way through Blues Guitar Method 1 and then I received an email from you suggesting to look at Blues Method Supplement, which I am finding very useful. Between the two courses I am finally beginning to get the bluesy sound, moving between the major and minor scales, I’d always hoped to get.
I’ve been a member of several other guitar tuition sites and bought many other programs but for me yours is by far and away the best. Keep up the great work!

I can’t say enough about John and his lessons. I’ve always wanted to be a slide player but I have never been able to get the hang of it, until I stumbled on to one of John’s videos on YouTube and decided to check his site out. I definitely don’t regret it and it is absolutely worth the money.
My slide playing ability has increased so much, in such a short amount of time. His lessons are complete, very detailed, very structured and have a logical flow. John will take you from beginner to as far down the road as you are willing to go.
He is very approach able and very responsive with any questions you might have. His website is very polished and easy to navigate. I love the way the lessons are presented with the videos having multiple camera angles and interactive tabs with a looping function.
I strongly recommend that if you are looking to improve your blues and or slide playing you should definitely sign up for Learning Guitar Now All Access Pass. There aren’t any other sites out there that are this complete or detailed.

I started with the free lesson and liked it so much I joined with the All Access Pass for a month. It turned out that thirty days wasn’t enough to even put a dent in all the great lessons on this site so I upgraded to a full year.
It didn’t take long to learn that a year wasn’t long enough either as new courses, licks and podcasts are added all the time. Whether it’s BB King, Albert King, Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix or Duane Allman you want to sound like, LGN gives you the technique for achieving that style and tone. It’s an amazing learning experience that seems to get better with each new lesson.
