I have not seen any teacher with this kind of involvement. Kiko you are like God to me.

Chuck

I felt my playing was weak, with no focus: just noodling for hours without real objectives. With Guitar Hacks, I'm organized with lots of material to practice.

I saw the most improvement with alternate picking. I learned that I must organize my practice sessions to improve faster on the instrument.

I would like to see an ear training course from Kiko, that would be really appreciated!

Manuel

Stagnated. I can play tabs and was learning slowly, but never got to the point to where I could feel like I could just play. Little progress, practiced a variety of areas, but never felt that I was actually moving forward. Guitar Hacks provided a more professional trainer that actually enjoys teaching, explaining things better, and in a more logical way.

I have more overall focus on the things that were either overlooked, misinformed, or just not explained well previously. If I had to pick one thing I saw most improvement on, it would be left and right hand muting.

I have zero background in music or instruments, so I am very slow to learn this stuff. But I enjoy it and I can start to see progress in my playing. Kiko is a trusted teacher who enjoys teaching and comes from a wide variety of guitar styles. He's a professional who doesn't act like a snob and cares about his students. I love having tabs to follow along off-line.

I know when I teach someone about something I know very well, I tend to assume that they will understand it like I do. Not always the case, some are slow and need step-by-step, others catch on quickly. Overall, I highly recommended this course for all levels of students.

One of the best guitar purchases I’ve ever made

What is unique about this course is that Kiko not only tells you “what” to practice but he shows you “how” to practice it. This is where most courses fail IMO. The program gives you exercises to not only build killer technique but tools to create music with! One of the best guitar purchases I’ve ever made! Obrigado Kiko and your team!

Arnaud

I tended to go around in circles and always do the same exercises. I think I lacked technique and organization in my work sessions, I could not make certain connections between theory and practice without an organized program.

With Guitar Hacks, we know which steps to take to improve our technique, with an understanding of how to apply it with confidence. My alternate picking has improved the most. I feel more reassured, but I still have a lot to learn before creating connections with what I am learning and how comfortable I am playing it.

I love the program's way of organizing a practice session, moreover, the community is great to help us.

Guitrucci

I felt I was stuck on the same level of technique; slowly getting better, but too slow. I was practicing in the same way all the time and got stuck with the same results.

Through Guitar Hacks, I learned how to structure my practice time in a better way and how to push beyond my plateau. Also the idea of practicing "musical exercises" was sort of revelation to me.

I improved with most techniques, but especially alternate picking. I have more confidence in my playing and feel better than before. I can see how it will get even better over time.

Thank you for the course and I would like to see even more of them coming (especially about songwriting and composition processes).

Highly recommended

I’ve been struggling with alternate picking but have finally noticed some real improvement by the time I finished Day 4 of the picking exercises.

Marco

I felt like I was hitting a wall in my playing; just learning songs and playing. My technique wasn't improving because I didn't know how to practice. Guitar Hacks helped by providing structure to my daily practice and by focusing on specifics rather than just noodling.

Pretty much everything improved from alternate picking, string skipping to hybrid picking. It really makes a difference to have a routine to practice. I feel like I can always learn new things and put them to practice. This course gives ideas for you to create your own stuff and improve as a musician. That really helps make a difference in your playing.

Thanks to Kiko for creating this course.

Andreas

I was doing way too much noodling as well as a lack of structure in my practice routine. Because of that, I was not making consistent progress.

Guitar Hacks helped me become more consistent with my practice routine. It had very valuable tips on how to structure my time and approach certain issues, i.e. overcome plateaus, improve technique.

The biggest improvements were in my right hand and, specifically, Alternate Picking. I see better progress, feel more comfortable, and am even more motivated to grab the guitar and play.

I feel Guitar Hacks provides me with structure as well as a clear path to improve my technical, musical and theoretical skills.

Kiko is an amazing teacher and the passion and effort he is putting into this is outstanding. I have been signing up for many courses (with famous and less famous players) over the last years but Guitar Hacks and Kiko are bringing it to the next level. Kiko also does sessions to interact with his students and in those sessions he provides even more help.

Kiko - as stated above - you are not just an incredible guitar player and fantastic teacher, but also such a humble, kind and motivating individual when interacting with people. It is always a pleasure being part of your live sessions on YT and feel lucky and thankful for the opportunity to be one of your students! Andreas
