BUT THIS DOES. HERE'S WHY:
Watch The Video Below and Discover How "The Rip It Up Club" is Unlike Anything You've Tried Before - Get Weekly Lessons, a Practice Plan, and 1-on-1 Coaching.
See Why Joining the Rip It Up Club is the Fastest Way to Achieve Your Guitar Goals—Hear IT from Our Students!
I hadn’t played much guitar in over 40 years, but in early 2024, I decided to pick it back up. I found a ton of free content online, but I wanted real progress—not just scattered lessons. That’s when I found Will Ripley’s lessons. At first, I hesitated since everything online seems to have a price tag, but once I saw the 1-on-1 Fretboard Feedback and structured lessons, I knew this was different. Will is an excellent guitarist and teacher, and his personalized coaching has been invaluable. I worked on a blues piece inspired by Stevie Ray Vaughan, and Will helped me tighten up my timing and phrasing—something I wouldn’t have caught on my own. That kind of back-and-forth coaching makes all the difference, no matter your skill level. The live weekly lessons, student stage, and Rockcital keep things exciting and push me to improve. If this kind of learning had been available when I first picked up guitar, I’d be miles ahead. It’s honestly a bargain for the value you get..
The GREATEST of all!! When I first heard about The Rip It Up Club offering 1-on-1 feedback and real coaching, I thought, Yeah right... another guitar teacher promising the world but not delivering. But I was wrong. I’ve tried it all—private teachers, YouTube lessons, books, paid courses—and all it did was leave me frustrated because I never knew what to practice, why I was practicing it, or how to actually get better. Then I joined The Rip It Up Club—and everything changed. Since then, I’ve been pushed out of my comfort zone in the best way. I’m strumming with confidence, locking into rhythm better, learning new chords and triads, and even starting to solo! Will is, hands down, the best teacher I’ve ever had. If you’re on the fence about joining—don’t hesitate. Try it out, and I guarantee you won’t want to stop. You’ll be motivated to play more, practice more, and finally make real progress. Instead of wandering aimlessly, you get the exact guidance you need to go wherever you want on guitar. Go for it—The Rip It Up Club is the real deal!
I decided to try out The Rip It Up Club, which—to be honest—I had no intention of keeping, but by the end of the trial, I found myself loving the material offered.
The weekly live lessons are great, but what really stands out is the Student Stage. Every week, Will posts a new challenge based on the latest lesson, and when you upload a video of yourself playing it, Will personally responds with a short video giving you technical advice and suggestions to improve your playing.
In my opinion, this is the best part of the club.
That 1-on-1 coaching makes a huge difference. On top of that, the pre-recorded courses are solid, and the community is incredibly supportive and encouraging.
Will has put a ton of time into creating a player-friendly, effective learning experience. I’ve improved tremendously in my time as a Rip It Up Club member, and if you’re willing to put in the time, I have no doubt the Rip It Up Club can help you too!

What Is The Rip It Up Club? It's EXACTLY What You've Been Missing...
If you’ve ever found yourself lost in endless guitar practice, wondering how someone goes from a complete beginner to confidently performing on stage, you’re not alone. As you know, YouTube lessons and online courses have their limitations. The truth is, there are two key elements that most aspiring guitarists miss which keeps them a beginner forever:
- Personalized support from a coach, instructor, or mentor
- A clear goal, like preparing for a performance or gig
That’s why I created The Rip It Up Club, an online guitar coaching platform designed to provide you with 1-on-1 coaching, and live performance goals every quarter (plus, a ton more).
Why The Rip It Up Club Works:
I’ve taught millions of students through my lessons and performed live for audiences of up to 10,000 people and none of that would’ve been possible without 2 things: the guidance from my mentors, and the motivation of preparing for live shows.
Even now, after recording an 11-song album with Brian Moncarz (Our Lady Peace, Alice Cooper, Phillip Sayce) and performing regularly, I STILL seek out mentorship and opportunities to push my playing to the new levels.
1-on-1 coaching and goals create accountability and are extremely important for your guitar journey - and you can get access to both, from the comfort of your own home, for a very reasonable price.

After trying numerous online 'canned' subscriptions, I found myself stuck. I decided to join The Rip It Up Club because it offered something different—and at an affordable price.

Personally, I do better when I’m being pushed, and knowing you can submit a video each week helps me stay accountable.

ELIMINATE THE GUESSWORK OF PRACTICING GUITAR:
Weekly Student Stage Challenges, 1-on-1 Coaching, And A Clear Practice Path
The Student Stage is where your guitar playing gets the personal attention and motivation you need to truly excel. This unique feature of The Rip It Up Club offers multiple ways to showcase your progress, get 1-on-1 coaching, and even prepare for live performances in a supportive, nurturing environment.
Weekly Challenges and Community Support:
Every week, I’ll open the Student Stage for submissions after our live lesson. This is your chance to share videos or audio clips of anything you’re working on—whether it’s the weekly challenge inspired by the lesson, a new riff, or a full song you’re perfecting.
Here’s why the Student Stage is special:
- Guided Practice: Weekly challenges give you a clear focus, so you always know what to practice to get better.
- Supportive Community: Sharing your playing might feel intimidating at first, but the Student Stage is full of fellow guitar lovers who are here to cheer you on. Everyone in the club is on the same journey, which makes it an encouraging space to share your progress.
- Options for the Shy: If you’re not ready to share publicly, you can still direct message me your video privately and still receive personalized feedback.
I’ve been a member of The Rip It Up Club since day one. Right from the start, Will made it clear that this wasn’t just another online course. The one-on-one feedback he gives through personal video responses is next-level. It’s always encouraging, but also specific and tailored to your playing level. As an intermediate guitarist, I appreciate that he pushes me beyond my comfort zone and doesn’t let me settle. For beginners, he offers guidance on staying motivated and building the right foundation. And because everyone’s feedback videos are visible to the group, we all learn from each other’s challenges and breakthroughs.
The weekly live lessons are another huge plus. We go deep into a topic for at least an hour, and then Will opens the floor for Q&A and live conversation. He doesn’t just teach—he makes sure we actually apply what we’re learning. Every week, he sets up practice assignments, and when we submit videos, he personally reviews them. That’s the best part of the club—getting direct feedback on your playing.
If you put in the effort, Will matches it. The accountability, performance opportunities, and sense of community make this club special. The members are incredibly supportive, and if you engage—recording yourself, giving feedback, and participating in the live sessions—you’ll quickly feel like you’re part of something bigger.
Bottom line: If you want to improve your guitar playing, this club will get you there.
