Amazing offer.

I've always been tempted but never done it.

Any real world reviews, good and bad?

I signed up. I had it during COVID and my guitar playing went up 300%. It can be overwhelming due to the number of courses, but pick some guitarists you like or styles that you like and go for it.

I actually find that the chat from between the actual playing to be the best takeaway. I learned so much listening to Robben Ford.

If anyone is thinking of signing up: if you use this link you can get me some Truefire points! https://truefire.com/ignite/?code=LPManic

Cheers! It really is worth it, especially for $55/€46/£40

Like @LPManic ; it's the best online learnign platform I've found. I used to think that you could get pretty much the same content from YouTube videos but you really can't. The structure and pacing of the courses I've tried so far is spot on. Also like the above, the chatter and tips in between the playing is really useful. I particularly found this with Brian Sutton.

I've dithered all day about this but finally took the plunge - 42 quid for a year - and see how I get on....

Same, thanks for the heads-up. Money better spent than a new pedal or cosmetic bits for a guitar!

I decided to go for it. Hopefully I'll find the time/energy/motivation to make use of it!

I've been checking out the big name courses on there. Eric Johnson is fantastic. His course features 5 or so challenging pieces. I know the rudiments of his style but interesting to get it straight from the horses mouth as to why and how he does what he does. He's no slouch on the theory either. I'm not sure how much of his stuff is useful down the Dog and Duck - whenever I hear someone doing the descending 5s thing (like Bonamassa) it completely take me out of the tune - it's so recognisably Johnson.

Stu Hamm seemed masterful but perfunctory (his hand warmup advice was very useful). Greg Koch is always good value. 

I'm finding right now I listen to courses in the background when doing chores, in the gym, running errands without watching the vids to get an idea of the content and then what I can steal for my guitar playing. There is just so much on there that filtering out what you can use is half the battle?

For those that got this, are you able to access the same content on the website and app?  Mine is only working on the app.  Logging into the website with the same account and I don't seem to have anything available.

You should be able to access the same content. Have you tried the usual stuff - log out, clear cookies, restart your computer etc?

Turned out it was user error (aka known as stupidity).
