Are the lessons on your online course live or pre-recorded?

When I have finished my exams at the end of May I am looking to take my playing up a level.

With me been in the UK the time difference would make live lessons imposable.

What do you offer for the just above  beginner?

Hi James,

The lessons/lectures are all pre-recorded, and have some unique features to them, like tests, playing assignments (in later sections) and passwords to move on, etc.  This ensures that you are understanding the material before you move on.  I've had 100% success rate, and I have a lot of students in your corner of the world (the UK)

I'd also suggest that if you haven't done so already, to take a few minutes to go back to the site (I'm guessing it's you that sent me the email that said "hi"?) and click on the tour tab and watch my videos, that explain the school and teaching system, approach etc.  In the last one, I explain what a student should have/know before going in, and you can asses yourself along those lines.

One thing you may be surprised to learn, is that we don't just accept everyone, there is a screening and question and answer process, that will help me decide if what we do is right for you.  The notes on the neck, well, that can benefit everyone.  I have taught the notes on the neck to a 6 year old that didn't own their first guitar yet.

As far as what else the Notes on the Neck might do...well it might help you determine, can we teach?  If we can't teach, then you wont learn, seems fair right?  There's not a single reason that you or anyone else should sign up for what we do if we can't deliver on the claims, because in that case we aren't worth a single dime.

After the Notes on the Neck, should you decide to move forward, we'd have an interview in which I learned more about your playing level, your goals/needs and then I would give you an honest assessment, and a realistic expectation of how we could help, and if we couldn't (for example say that you more wanted to learn some hot licks and shred like a beast...we'll I don't teach a bunch of licks, I teach you to play and move perfectly throughout the entire neck...shredding is a result of practice and time with a metronome in specific ways) then I'd direct you to any trusted resources that I knew of to help you.

I can send you an online catalog if you'd like -  I see you wrote me about a pass to look around.  I have a limited number of those, available at any given time, and currently they are all in use right now.  The next opening I think will be in the Wed-Thursday time frame.  When it opens you'll be next on board.  Keep in mind, these expire after a couple of days, so allow yourself the time to really get a feel for it.

By the way, the only reason that I post my link in my sig is just because I want people to know of the option being out there, among hundreds of other options, as far as progressing on the guitar.  Whether its the right move for you, James or anyone else, is something that I cannot say, its aimed at a certain type of user and I do my best to answer questions, and understand your needs before making the recommendation one way or the other.

One thing that I will tell you is I am very involved in your progress as a student.  I just made a one hour call yesterday to a student that I hadn't heard from in a couple of weeks, to see if there was anything I could do to help (turns out there was a sickness/death in the family, and I reassured him that we are there for him, to take the time he needs to deal with his loss, and reaffirmed our commitment to help him through).

I hope this answers your questions.  If nothing else, I'd be happy to meet with you on IM to better understand your needs.

Best,

Sean
