A subscription to HoustonGuitar.Com gives you access to all of our video-based guitar lessons.

The cost of a subscription is $12.95 per month (compared to $100+ per month at a music store).


Lessons include streaming video and audio in an interactive, play-along format. The idea is to follow the action in the video as closely as you can, for the same length of time as the video.

Lessons cover important guitar techniques such as open chords, power chords, bass-down and strumming techniques, chord-melody and lead techniques.

All lesson videos include a simple drum beat, to help you develop a strong sense of timing. Some lessons include complete backing tracks.
