“Tyler first YouTube guitarist I discovered, and gave his app a try my first year starting and he made it pretty understandable and easy to learn.”

Morepaul6 · App Store review, Jul 2026

“Tyler Larson most definitely knows his music and theory, however, I will also add that he has an amazing ability explain the information in a dynamic easy to understand method.”

Harold Barbour · App Store review, Jun 2025
