Thinking about canceling Guitar Tricks? It happens. Maybe you were inspired by that one epic guitar solo in Stranger Things and signed up, but now the monthly bill is hitting a sour note. Guitar Tricks has been teaching people guitar online since 1998, offering a massive library of lessons. But with subscriptions costing from $14.99 to $19.99, it's a cost you might not need right now. This guide covers how to cancel on desktop, iOS, and Android. Taking a few minutes to cancel could save you up to $180 a year. Just cancel it.
How to Cancel Guitar Tricks Subscription on Desktop
Canceling on the website is usually the most reliable method, especially if you signed up directly through Guitar Tricks. Just be prepared to click through a couple of menus.
1 Log In to Your Account
Go to the Guitar Tricks website and log in to your account. This is the most direct way to handle your subscription.
2 Navigate to Account Information
Once you're in, find the 'Account Information' section. It might be under your profile icon or in a main menu. It can feel a little buried sometimes.
3 Find Your Membership Status
Look for a tab or link that says 'Membership Status' or 'Billing'. This is where the key details are.
4 Click Cancel Subscription
You should see a link or button that says 'Cancel Subscription'. Click it. I had to refresh the page once because the button didn't load properly, so be aware of that. Follow any final confirmation steps they throw at you.
How to Cancel Guitar Tricks Subscription on iOS
If you paid using your Apple ID, you have to cancel through Apple. The app itself won't have a cancellation button. It's an Apple thing.
1 Open Settings
Don't bother with the Guitar Tricks app or website for this. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Tap on your name and Apple ID at the very top of the screen.
3 Go to Subscriptions
Select 'Subscriptions' from the list. You'll see all your active and expired app subscriptions here.
4 Select Guitar Tricks
Find and tap on Guitar Tricks in the list. If you don't see it, you might have subscribed directly on their website, not through Apple.
5 Tap to Cancel
Tap the 'Cancel Subscription' button and confirm. That's it. Your access will continue until the end of the current billing cycle.
How to Cancel Guitar Tricks Subscription on Android
For Android users who signed up via the app, your subscription lives in the Google Play Store. You can't cancel it from the Guitar Tricks website.
1 Open the Play Store
Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2 Tap Your Profile Icon
Tap on your profile icon, which is usually in the top-right corner.
3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu, select 'Payments & subscriptions' and then tap on 'Subscriptions'.
4 Find the Guitar Tricks Subscription
Find Guitar Tricks in your list of active subscriptions and tap on it.
5 Tap Cancel Subscription
Tap 'Cancel subscription' at the bottom and follow the on-screen instructions to confirm. Google will handle the rest.
Cancel Guitar Tricks Subscription with Email
You can email the support team at support@guitartricks.com. They are generally good about responding, but expect to wait about 1-2 business days for a reply. Make sure to include the email address associated with your account to speed things up.
Guitar Tricks has a pretty generous 60-day money-back guarantee for new members. If you're within that window, you can get a full refund. After 60 days, you won't get money back for partial months or if you just forgot to cancel. Your account and any free lesson progress will likely remain, but you'll lose access to all the premium content once your paid period ends. There isn't an option to pause your membership, so cancellation is the only way to stop payments.
