Free Users and Subscribers: What Each Plan Includes

The site follows a clear logic: blog content is free and open to anyone, with no account required. Exercises, audio, and all training tools require a subscription.

What anyone can do without registering

The Guitar Trainer blog is freely accessible. That includes all four pillars of editorial content: Music History, Biographies, Music Theory, and Tips & Tricks — the category you're reading right now.

No account is needed to read, browse, or share any of it. It's designed for any guitarist, whether they're a Guitar Trainer student or not.

What changes with a free account

Creating a free account doesn't unlock access to exercises or audio. The main difference is one: registered users receive the site newsletter with updates about new lessons and features. For someone not yet ready to subscribe but wanting to stay informed, it's a good option.

What a subscription includes

A subscription gives full access to the entire training system:

• Exercise blocks with scores, tablature, and explanatory text.
• The complete training audio library with tempo control.
• The lists and favorites system to organize weekly practice.
• Downloadable PDF manuals.
• Lesson history to track progress.
• The companion app with metronome, tuner, chord dictionary, round counter, backing tracks, and practice hours log.

Everything in one place, with no need to look anywhere else.

What happens when a subscription expires

If the subscription is not renewed, access to the training system closes completely — both the website and the app. Blog content remains accessible without any restriction, as it's free for everyone.

One plan

Guitar Trainer has a single subscription plan, with no tiers or partial versions. Either you have full access to the system, or you don't. To see the current terms and pricing, visit the subscription page at guitartrainer.academy.
