GMI Free is a real account, not a trial. It stays free for as long as you want it.

You get access to the Harmonic Universe and the Theory Glossary in full, Ask Thomas on every screen, with a daily question allowance and graded material to play from Grade 1 to Grade 3 in a host of musical styles.

In addition to this open grade section you also have access to over 400 fully arranged classical guitar pieces from "Guitar Loot" with many pieces at grade 8 standard. Included is sight reading practice through bouncing ball and line movement. Chord Lab offers you four different triad types in all inversions in all keys. Sketchpad gives you three chord slots.

Every free video course is included — Drop Two Voicings, barre chords, pentatonics, fingerstyle technique — along with the full podcast archive and the community.

When you want the rest, you upgrade from your account page and keep everything you've saved.
