Get Fender Play free for 3 months, or save 50% off a 12-month subscription this Black Friday - still up for grabs
The Big-F is getting into the swing of the festive discounts with big money off online guitar lessons

There’s no shortage of ways of learning to play the guitar online, but if you’re going down the teach-yourself route, not many online guitar lessons platforms come close to the quality and breadth on offer from Fender’s Play software.
That just got even better, because the guitar giants have just unveiled two brilliant Black Friday guitar deals.
First, new users can take advantage of a massive free, 3-month Fender Play trial (rather than the usual 7-day trial). Not only that, Fender is also offering new users 50% off the regular yearly subscription rate, meaning you can get a year of Fender Play for just $44.99, rather than the usual $89.99!
Fender Play: 3 month free trial
Fender Play is a unique platform for learning the guitar, bass and ukulele, featuring over 3,000 lessons organised into easy-to-follow courses, over 1,000 songs to learn, backing tracks, challenges and an entire community, all of which can be accessed from your phone, tablet or computer while you play. Bag your free trial today.
Fender Play: 50% off an annual subscription
Sorted a free trial but now you want to continue getting all the benefits of Fender Play lessons beyond your trial? For Black Friday, Fender is offering 50% off an annual plan, dropping the price from $89.99 to $44.99. Just add the code friday50 at checkout.
Simply sign up, choose your favourite genre and get started on a personalised plan that will appeal to your tastes.
