TGT Academy Review
"Ulrich does deliver what he advertises. He will directly coach and mentor you pretty much 24/7. TGT has a really fantastic community, very encouraging. I highly recommend taking that call with Ulrich and see where it leads you."

TGT Academy Review
"This is the best online program I have ever been a part of, and I have tried many different courses I found through Youtube, different videos, and guitar teachers.... but this is the best one. It's structured in a way that makes sense."

TGT Academy Review
"I'm able to play things after just 5 months of study that I never in a million years would have thought I'd be able to play!"
GABOR KISS, HUNGARY
TGT Academy Review
"This is a well-structured system. The TGT community provides an extremely powerful support here. If you accomplished this, then you became a guitar player. Since my graduation I have the freedom to quickly learn and play any kind of blues / rock / funky song in full and with feel. Ulrich made me a guitar player. I could not be happier 😊. - Gabor
PATRICIA VONNE, USA
TGT Academy Review
Patricia is our TGT celebrity rockstar. A legit Texas award-winning songstress with a fantastic voice and charisma, she already toured across the world before finding her way into TGT Academy.
Patricia took the leap. Now she is way more comfortable, especially in the higher fretboard regions, and can make her brother, filmmaker Robert Rodriguez (Machete, Alita, Desperado, etc.) sweat while she plays her fiery Tex-Mex rock riffs!
ECKHARDT GEHDE, GERMANY
TGT Academy Review
"I am playing guitar since almost 50 years, but for decades I have been noodling around, and for almost 20 years, as many other colleagues, I have been blocked by a rather exhausting job. Since joining TGT Acadeny, I experienced a real transformation!! Thank you, Ulrich Ellison and all you people there working hard for us guitar enthusiasts!!"
BEN WILLIAMS, UNITED KINGDOM
TGT Academy Review
"I can wholeheartedly endorse Total Guitar Transformation. I can honestly say that I never progressed so much in such a short period of time. I've messed around since I was 13, and mostly it has been a few decades of mindless noodling. What TGT has given me is a structured study plan, a community of very friendly, like-minded guitarists on the same journey, and also the eternal, patient expert advice from Ulrich himself. I'd really like you to join us because I'd like to learn from you, too!
PETER KREBBEKX, NETHERLANDS
TGT Academy Review
I joined Ulrich’s TGT Program beginning 2024 and have never regretted it since. Within TGT, Ulrich really offers you a structure and assignments and objectives to grab and dive into so that the right practice will make you a better musician, playing lead guitar. The weekly zoom sessions offer you the possibility to reflect and ask questions about your practice and progress. And on top of all, Ulrich is a really nice person, always interested, positive and willing to help you advance in a very personal way."
DEEJ SG, USA
TGT Academy Review
"I’ve studied with a handful of in-person guitar instructors and utilized several online programs and YouTube videos with minimal success. Finding a good instructor and approachable material is like finding a needle in a haystack. Well, I can now say that I’ve found that needle in a haystack, and his name is Ulrich Ellison! Ulrich and his Total Guitar Transformation are second to none! I’m excited to be continuing my guitar journey with his capable guidance!"

SHAWN GOODSELL, USA
"I am forever grateful to Ulrich for creating TGT. In December of last year I could only strum along to songs with cowboy chords and had no lead knowledge or skills. I think I kind of begged him to let this beginner join and he agreed as I had the time to practice. I was way overwhelmed at first then I began to notice… I noticed that if I followed the structure as designed I was seeing consistent weekly improvements. Today I’m comfortable in different keys, modes, triad pairs and things I thought sounded foreign a short time ago are in my daily routine and becoming more familiar daily. I’m enjoying playing more than I ever have before!" - Shawn

KARSTEN SCHNEIDER, GERMANY
"I've been playing guitar for almost 40 years now, starting as a self taught teenager. Stopped for some years due to the normal life's distractions... :-) When I started again some years ago, I felt stuck in my learning. Always the same licks, no progression. I've been trying several online learning classes and youtube lessons, but got lost most of the time. Ulrich gave me the right structure, tools and taks, to make leaps in my playing. His reviews and hints in my work are motivating but honest :-) In one year TGT I learned more that in the decades before. Best money invested for me!" - Karsten

JOHN WILLHOEFT, GERMANY
"I joined TGT in April 2023. Despite the fear, this could be „just another online Programm“, Ulrich beeing the humble and caring person he is, is giving advanced guitar players not only a place where they can grow, but where they feel home. The sky ist the limit. Ofc, you need to put a lot of work into this. You get out of it what you put in. Don’t expect wonders. Ulrich teaches you how to learn and grow as a musician."

STEPHEN UNIACKE, UNITED KINGDOM
Before Steve ran across TGT, he had already been playing for 20 some years and considered himself an “endless noodler”. After only 2 months into joining TGT, he finished his “Basic Training” which allowed him to refine all the critical areas of his playing. He now has more control and more freedom than ever before to make artistic choices when he improvises. And this is just the beginning!

SJOERD PLATINGA, NETHERLANDS
Within a few months, Sjoerd was able to study the Hendrix chordal approach, techniques like hybrid picking. He completely transformed his melodic approach. Turns out that even a "mettaller" can come up with beautiful melodies!

Student Success Interview
GILBERTO RIBEIRO, BRASIL
"I've been playing the guitar since the time we waited anxiously for the latest Guitar Player Magazine so we could get some tabs. Nowadays, we are bombarded every second by 3s youtube videos that teaches you anything from hybrid picking to any scale you want. The end result: you get lost and there's no structure in the learning process.
I am now learning how to play the guitar. One last thing - I used to believe gear was important. To a certain extent I still believe that. Yet, I am discovering something odd as I am 6 months into TGT... I change the guitar, amp, and pedals, and I get the same sound. I believe this is when you actually start to understand guitar, when it all sounds the same (goodbye GAS), and you get the sound from your fingers. That's your sound."

DAVEY COTTER, IRELAND
When Davey Cotter joined TGT, he was by far the youngest student to ever join before: he was 12 years old. Here is what Davey's Dad said about TGT: "This is a thorough and comprehensive system. It is extensive and well-indexed. Everything you need is here at your fingertips, and if you have the time, there is so much here to learn.
The best thing about this system though, is the human warmth, professionalism, and dedication of the leadership. These qualities have produced a vibrant, friendly and supportive community of learners, and a sense of family. The method is effective. Students display obvious progress. Love it."

YANN FAGEOL, FRANCE
Yann and the guitar always had a special bond. While playing in punk and rock bands, he developed his basic jobs but at some point hit a wall. That's where TGT became a game changer. Learning new approaches and ways to navigate the fretboard, Yann's improvisations have now reached new heights of expression and he has been one of the rst students to receive the "Golden Pick", for completion of the full program!
Student Success Interview
ROLAND SCHAEFER, GERMANY
After mainly noodling in minor pentatonics for over 30 years, Roland decided it was time to get out of the rut. Being completely self-taught, he made it to a pretty high level. Now he is pushed to work on topics he never had to work on: modes, triads, fluency exercises, Hendrix vocabulary, and advanced phrasing. Within a few months, he was able to approach all these topics with structure and musicality.

JOHN EGAN, USA
When John became part of TGT, he was afraid that he wouldn't be challenged enough because he already knew Jimi Hendrix well and had strong foundations developed. John Michael Egan "What can I say? Rare talent of teaching, Ulrich is an excellent teacher!" Watch Here What he found was a ver cohesive system to spot weak areas in his foundations, new vocabulary and phrasing input, weekly lessons that give ongoing inspiration in improving practice, and a new-found understanding of the inner workings of rhythm, in a depth that he had never experienced before. Now, 4 months aer joining, John is starting to experience a new sense of command in his improvisations, that allows him to express himself more freely than ever before.
Student Success Interview
RIDHA HAMMAMI, FRANCE
Having a busy job being a principal of a school, it seemed impossible for Ridha to ever become a proficient lead guitarist. Besides the lack of time, a lack of structure in the learning process seemed to be the biggest problem.
Enter TGT: The learning process now being streamlined, even shorter practice session could become effective workouts. By completing specific tasks and receiving ongoing feedback whenever it was needed, the progress now became result-driven instead of just practicing a certain time a day.
And voila: Ridha collected his golden pick with bravour. Well done!
Student Success Interview
CHRIS WENDLING, USA
"After years of campfire chords and directionless noodling on guitar - I decided I wanted more - to play with confidence and feeling. Just by chance I bumped into Ulrich Ellison and his TGT guitar academy - a stroke of very good luck. His focus on structure, fast accurate feedback and personal attention - with a strong emphasis on Hendrix's style - is a powerful recipe for developing top notch guitar skills. Along with a very positive and supportive group of other guitarists on a similar journey in our facebook group - who offer support and encouragement - my guitar skills are now way beyond campfire chords. My progress has exceeded my expectations and I feel very lucky to have met such an excellent, accomplished instructor/mentor who cares and who gets it." - CW

NICO MASTRO, BELGIUM
"It's been almost 4 months now that I joined Ulrichs TGT. The main reason for joining was that I was tired of noodling around and getting nowhere with my guitar playing. And searching youtube for good courses was not the best solution either. Then I met Ulrich and his TGT program.
We did a one-to-one talk on Zoom and he inspired me to join TGT. After my first week in TGT, I was already amazed by my progress. How the daily practice plan sets everything in motion.
Not only is TGT a fantastic program, but Ulrich is a great coach, does weekly meetings where you can ask questions on different topics, and keeps you going.
Now after 4 months, I finished Basic Training and when I look back it was fun all the way and the best is yet to come !! Thanks Ulrich!" - Nico M.

Become part of a group dynamic process which will kick your butt and last but not least, for all the work, the patience and the dedication Ulrich is putting into that academy and his students, it is worth every single penny. Go for it." - GK

DALTON HIRATA, USA
"5 Stars for the Total Guitar Transformation Academy. I pretty much had a good feeling from the start that this was a good choice to make in my quest to improve my guitar playing. Meeting Ulrich in an introductory interview, he showed me how to play at a different level - a level I am still aspiring to and trying to achieve but now with a solid practice plan, direction, goals, and instruction. I thought I was an intermediate/advanced player when I started, but I'm surely getting more advanced now in just 6 months. I very highly recommend taking on the TGT Academy and meeting Ulrich if you want to make noticeable improvements to your improvisational skills and making music in general.
Student Success Interview
BOBBY HOYE, USA
"If you grow tired of watching countless videos on YouTube that promise to make you a better player. As a self-taught player it was my go-to resource. If that leaves you feeling like there is more to it, you may look into investing in yourself and get put on a path that will give you the foundation to be a solid guitarist. You get honest feedback, video classes and great support from Ulrich and company. Something YouTube doesn’t provide. Plus the community is so awesome and encouraging. It’s incredible to be on a journey with so many others all wanting to be the best guitar players they can be. No competition or egos. Ulrich is a fantastic player, and really wants you to be as well. He is a very knowledgeable teacher and will be your biggest fan. You do have to put in the work and effort. But nothing worthwhile is ever easy. I can honestly say it’s the best decision I’ve ever made for myself related to guitar playing. Wish I would have done it sooner. I’ve only been doing it for two months and have noticed improvements. Which really helps in keeping me motivated."
