About three years ago when I started looking for songs to learn I did a free trial of Jam Play, True Fire and Guitar Tricks.  I ended up picking Guitar Tricks for two reasons.  1) The song catalog suited my tastes (which has now shrunk considerably), and 2) At the end of most song lessons there is a section where the instructor says “if you want to play this song on one guitar play guitar 1 or such and such and guitar 2 for this and that etc.  Plus providing a notation, and a performance video for that single guitar arrangement. I was, and continue to be, pretty impressed with how those one guitar arrangements sound.  I’m never going to play in a band, so those one guitar arrangements are perfect for me to play for family and friends.  That is what has been keeping me here.


With the loss of so many of the songs that I still wanted to learn on Guitar Tricks, and now hearing that Jam Play and True Fire have combined access, I thought I should take another look.  So this morning  I poked around a handful of song titles that would interest me, and looked at the lesson outlines.  I see that a lot of them have a “simple” campfire version, which is not what I’m looking for (I can’t sing to save my life). But none listed a “single guitar” arrangement.  For those who have used those other sites; Is there something comparable to the GT single guitar version on those sites that I’m not seeing?  


I won’t give up my GT membership (there is still a lot I want to do here), but wondering if it is worth subscribing to one of the others sites as a supplement for songs.


Thanks

I was with jamplay for years along with guitar tricks. I’ve looked at true fire and wasn’t interested, then they merged with jamplay and completely ruined jamplay, so I cancelled my subscription after about 13 years. I’ll stick with guitar tricks, but for songs I use the Songsterr app.
