Guitar maker Fender has just debuted Fender Play, a new guitar lessons web platform and iOS app aimed at getting beginners hooked with visual, bite-sized tutorials. New users can sign up for a free, 30-day trial at the Fender Play website. After that trial, you’ll have to pay $19.99 per month to keep learning.

This is not the first digital tool Fender has introduced for playing guitar (others include Riffstation, which displays chord tabs for your favorite songs, and a guitar tuner app), but it is the first they’ve designed specifically for introductory-level players.
