Like all of the best free trials, the Fender Play free trial gives you free access to the Fender Play learning platform. This is done through the Fender Play app, and signing up for a monthly subscription free trial gets you seven days of free access, and enrolling in a free trial under the annual subscription will get your 14 days of free access. You’ll need to create an account with Fender to get going, and once you have an account in place, you’ll need to provide credit card information. You card won’t be charged unless you fail to cancel within your seven-day free trial, with Fender offering two subscription options that’s billed at $20 per month or $150 per year.

The Fender Play free trial is a great way to test out the service to see if it’s something you feel is worth paying for. Fender Play bases its learning offerings on a song-driven approach and smaller, bite-sized lessons. These step-by-step learning guides help you level up faster by breaking things down into easy to learn pieces. The entirety of the Fender Play learning library is available to you during the free trial, so a Fender Play free trial isn’t just a good way to test the platform, but also a good way to learn some guitar.
