Frequently Asked Questions
How long are the free trials?
Most platforms here trial for 14 days (Guitar Tricks, TrueFire, JamPlay, Pickup Music). Fender Play trials 7 days on monthly / 14 days on annual, and Yousician trials 7 days. Trials usually auto-convert unless you cancel - see the deals & trials table.
Can I get a refund if I do not like it?
Guitar Tricks and Pickup Music offer 60-day guarantees. TrueFire and JamPlay state 14-day refunds (JamPlay wording varies by page). Fender Play allows no refund for a partial period. Yousician refunds within 14 days only if you have not accessed the paid service. Full terms are on each platform page.
How do I cancel?
Every platform checked lets you cancel from account settings; cancelling stops renewal and you normally keep access until the end of the paid period (Fender Play states this explicitly in its terms; app-store subscriptions are cancelled in Apple/Google settings).
What gear do I need to start?
A guitar, a tuner, picks, spare strings and a stand - plus an amp and cable for electric. See the accessories checklist and budget breakdown, and estimate everything with the total cost calculator.
What guitar size should a kid get?
Judge by reach and comfort, not age alone. Our kids sizes guide covers the verified 3/4 and reduced-size options checked.
Are your recommendations hands-on reviews?
No. Scores and verdicts are editorial, based only on verified public facts (price, trial, refund, library, structure, genres). See How we rate.
