What this page is
This page quotes r/guitarlessons's rules as ThreadFox read them on 2026-09-26. The quoted text is the community's; the verdict above is our reading of it. Conditions often decide whether a post fits (a required thread, flair, posting day, account age or karma), and r/guitarlessons's current rules on Reddit always win over this page.
Free, for a specific product: a researched Reddit plan by email (communities whose rules fit your post, quoted and dated), or ThreadFox Lite, read-only tools an AI assistant can use to read a community's current rules itself, through your own Chrome (Claude Code: claude mcp add threadfox-lite -- uvx threadfox-lite). For an assistant that also writes and posts within each community's rules, the ThreadFox kit is $49 once.
Want to post here? Get ThreadFox ($49): your AI (Claude Desktop, Claude Code or Codex) reads a community's current rules, writes one post that fits and posts once from your own Chrome. No Claude? We'll post for you ($99 per 30-day campaign). Free: a Reddit launch plan for your product, ThreadFox Lite or the posting checklist by email.

- its rules on Reddit
A subreddit dedicated to learning guitar. Post lessons, ask questions, and get feedback on your playing on Feedback Fridays. The community is open to all people of all styles!
What its rules say about promotion
No advertising.
This subreddit is about free resources for learning guitar. Your submission will be removed if its main purpose is to get money. The same goes for Kickstarter pages, links to your YouTube channel (as opposed to a specific lesson) etc. No more than 10% of your participation on the subreddit may be promoting your own free materials. *No "Free Trial Lessons"
Don't spam.
Teachers should not submit more than one of their own videos or blog posts per week. Post your own stuff sparingly, and show us only the very best you can do. We're all able to find your blog or channel if we want to see more.
What its rules say about AI and bots
No AI
All shared content should be human-created.
All 10 rules of r/guitarlessons
- NO GEAR POSTS - YOU WILL BE BANNED
Any gear discussion belongs in the Megathread on the front page of our sub. Any posts not in the megathread will be removed. This includes "which guitar should I buy," "why does my pedal sound like this," "did I change my strings correctly," "is my action too high?" etc. Violations will result in a temporary ban. - No Performances, Backing Tracks or Tab/Transcription Requests!
Performances belong in /r/PlayingGuitar, not here (except Feedback Fridays). A performance with tabs linked in a comment is still a performance, and is not considered a lesson. - Feedback Fridays
Feedback requests (including performances or *any* videos of you playing) are only allowed on Fridays (US Central Time)! - No advertising.

The same goes for Kickstarter pages, links to your YouTube channel (as opposed to a specific lesson) etc. No more than 10% of your participation on the subreddit may be promoting your own free materials. *No "Free Trial Lessons" - Lessons must be Lessons
Lessons must actually contain teaching. A video of a performance that happens to include tabs is not considered teaching. - Don't spam.
Teachers should not submit more than one of their own videos or blog posts per week. Post your own stuff sparingly, and show us only the very best you can do. We're all able to find your blog or channel if we want to see more. - All posts must be relevant
All posts must be either a lesson, subreddit-relevant question about playing guitar, or a Feedback Friday feedback request. - No apps/websites you built.
Sharing of guitar related apps/websites you created (or in general) is only allowed when directly relevant as a response to a question or need. - No AI
All shared content should be human-created. - Be Awesome to each other
Just be respectful and kind to everyone!
What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
