Fender Play – Learn Guitar, Bass & Ukulele

Fender Play is Fender's own learning platform, designed to take complete beginners from zero to playing songs as quickly as possible. It offers structured "paths" — including a dedicated Blues path — that guide you through chords, techniques and songs in a logical order.

The blues curriculum covers essential techniques like the 12-bar blues, shuffle rhythm, basic blues scale, string bending and simple improvisation. Lessons are short (5–10 minutes), video-based and taught by professional instructors. Each lesson ends with a song you can play, which keeps motivation high.

While it doesn't go as deep as TrueFire for advanced players, Fender Play is arguably the best-designed onboarding experience for someone who just bought their first guitar and wants to play blues. The app works on phone, tablet and desktop, and includes a built-in tuner and chord library.
