He's a professional who doesn't act like a snob and cares about his students. Kiko is a trusted teacher who enjoys teaching and comes from a wide variety of guitar styles. But I enjoy it and I can start to see progress in my playing. I have zero background in music or instruments, so I am very slow to learn this stuff. If I had to pick one thing I saw most improvement on, it would be left and right hand muting. I have more overall focus on the things that were either overlooked, misinformed, or just not explained well previously. Guitar Hacks provided a more professional trainer that actually enjoys teaching, explaining things better, and in a more logical way. Little progress, practiced a variety of areas, but never felt that I was actually moving forward. I can play tabs and was learning slowly, but never got to the point to where I could feel like I could just play. Kiko, I'm so appreciative of your live sessions with the opportunities to ask you questions and help others. Kiko, Giorgo (and others), thank you so much for working on this course and the continued innovation that keeps it evolving. I have been able to correct many bad habits and design a practice routine that works! It didn't take long to start seeing results. Kiko's course flows very logical, it's structured and self paced, which is what I need. What sets this course apart from others is that it is holistic, engaging, and continuous. It can feel overwhelming having so much material available for musicians today. I have been able to play more challenging licks in less time.
I am not afraid to accept a struggle in my playing and own it until I can overcome. I am much more confident, patient, happy, and motivated to learn while on this life-long journey as a guitarist. I feel like each day spent opens up doors. Now I'm learning about modes and I am really taking my time to memorize and understand. Relating the sound and speed of sweep picking to alternate picking (starting slow) was mind blowing. With picking, up until this course, I have never taken the time to think of the strike quality and economy of motion. I've had the biggest breakthrough with alternate picking, sweep picking, and modes. With the loving support of my family, I have built a habit of practicing daily - even if it's only 30 minutes or while everyone is in bed. I now feel more confident and accepting of where I am and what I need to do to improve. This helped me rebuild the foundation! Through the set lessons, live and relatable sessions with Kiko, interacting with others, it really helped me open my mind. separate right hand from left /technique from riff, etc.) while celebrating small wins.

Guitar Hacks has helped me in so many ways! First off, I have learned that my journey is not all that uncommon and that everyone goes through similarities as they develop.
It was eating away at me whenever I would see my guitars just sitting there collecting dust. I thought in order to improve I needed to set aside entire days to practice hard riffs like I did when I was young. Do I just learn riffs to get good? My practices became nostalgic playing music from the 80s/90s, and I had no idea where to go next. Fast forward, I was at place where I didn't know where to go next - no clue. I am mostly self taught with no youtube or local teachers back in the day. I would play riffs and my technique was starting to fade. After playing on and off for over 20 years and now a father of three with no time, I was starting to feel very discouraged musically, and that I wasn't reaching my goals.
