Nathan Smith’s Guitar Academy is top-tier for anyone serious about improving their playing. The structured lessons make complex concepts—like breaking down chord theory and navigating the fretboard— My Guitar is finally starting to make practical sense. The teaching style is direct, clear, and highly practical, focusing on the details that actually elevate your touch, tone, and overall understanding of the instrument. The community aspect and feedback in the student submissions is fantastic.

This academy is top rated and I have been taught by Nathan one to one and is truly a professional guitarist and over Zoom sessions but the academy allows you to go through the video lessons on your own time. Nathan explains the lessons so clearly. Live weekly classes are fantastic. The community posting is a great way to share things and thought I would never post a video of my playing but have already a couple of times now. Nathan's academy is very professional and very open environment.

Nathan’s Guitar Academy really hits all the spots. It’s great for beginners through to intermediate players, while also offering plenty for those pushing into more advanced areas. From guitar foundations and harmony to the weekly live classes, there’s loads to learn. The platform is always growing, with new material added regularly. Most importantly, Nathan’s passion for teaching and music really shines through, making it a great place to learn and develop as a guitarist.

Navigating the fret was a complete mystery to me. The concept that chords could be played in numerous positions - mind blowing 🤯. Using this platform you start to understand the process which clears the fog and lets you see the road ahead clearly. Plus, Nathan is a talented, knowledgeable and caring guy who focuses upon the best interests of his students, helping them to develop at their own pace. I’d highly recommend this platform to anyone, no matter your current level.

The Academy is an excellent place to drop into for learning guitar, everything structured well and accessible is in the one place once you subscribe, the community is excellent as are the group classes you can join in or just sit and watch. The best thing for me is being able to drop in and out whenever I want, there's no pressure to join the sessions as the recordings are available to watch back whenever its best for you
