It's no secret that online education is on the rise, so with the increasing attention on education technology we wanted to compare how ArtistWorks stacks up against the competition.

Comparing ArtistWorks to TrueFire, it's not hard to see which is a better value.  Our lessons range from $20-30 per month, which is nearly 1/10 of TrueFire’s highest pricing option at $200 a month. For just $40 more you could study at ArtistWorks for a whole year!

Let's take a closer look at how ArtistWorks compares to GuitarTricks and JamPlay, each costing $14.95 and $19.95 a month respectively. The price is right, but just what to you get for your money?

Yes, both offer 24/7 live chat, backing track mp3 downloads, community features, forums, tabs/music notation, customer service helpline, and an ad-free site…. but what about the actual learning process?

Only ArtistWorks offers personalized Video Exchange Learning with high profile teachers. While JamPlay does have some high profile musicians, only ArtistWorks enables you to send videos directly to your teacher for personalized feedback. Through Video Exchange Learning, our teachers tell you exactly how to improve your playing. Not only can you send them videos at any time, you can follow up with them to see how you've improved. All of our teachers are passionate about teaching their instrument, and it's their mission for you to get better. Also, we offer practice charts for logging your practice time, multiple camera angles and slow-motion isolation, plus we are fully iPad/iPhone compatible.

We believe in communal learning at ArtistWorks.  Our students have access to all Video Exchanges within their school, so the advice your teacher gives someone else may also apply to you.  Our Forums encourage students to engage in conversations, as well as set up jam sessions for students in nearby areas. When you join one of our schools, you become a member of a diverse community of musicians from all over the world.

ArtistWorks offers over 35,000 lessons across all our schools. That’s over three times the amount of lessons available on TrueFire, six times the amount of lessons on GuitarTricks, and 20 times the amount of lessons available on JamPlay! Also, we offer practice charts for logging your practice time, multiple camera angles and slow-motion isolation, plus we are fully iPad/iPhone compatible.

Even if you're not satisfied with your online learning experience, our refund policy extends a month longer than GuitarTricks, two months longer than TrueFire, and almost three months longer than JamPlay.

JamPlay, GuitarTricks, and TrueFire only offer guitar lessons (TrueFire also has bass guitar).   At ArtistWorks however, you can choose from 24 different online learning schools that now include singing lessons and art lessons to teach you how to draw. Plus, all members of any of online learning schools can now benefit from our complimentary Music Theory lessons that are included with your membership. 

ArtistWorks is a greater resource at a better value. 

We have everything you need to be the musician you deserve to be. All you need is the desire to play.
