TrueFire review: price, free version and privacy

Our verdict

TrueFire suits players who know the basics and want to study a style in depth with many teachers. Beginners will find a guided app easier, and the app has not been updated since May 2025.

What TrueFire is

TrueFire is a large catalog of video guitar courses. The description lists over 80,000 video lessons, 30,000 tabs, 20,000 jam tracks and 1,800+ courses across blues, jazz, rock, country, acoustic and fingerstyle, taught by more than 400 artists and educators. New members get a 14-day All Access trial and a free downloadable course.
