Rock-lessons.com|free couse on memorizing notes on the neck!

<r>Hi,<br/>
<br/>
I just completed my course on Fundamentals. It's basically a course that will teach you to find any note on the neck almost instantly. It start with basics like learning the names of the open strings but it quickly works into fretboard memorization. Give it a try. It's free!<br ...

<r>No the 10k videos and audio lessons you could equate to youtube video's except they are done by top pro's. They are just a supplement.<br/>

The meat of the program is the course you are taking which is done by the teacher and you would ask whatever questions are related to that. I would ...

<t>Yes, the price thing is what I'm trying to figure out. If I were to do it on my own as opposed to going with this company I could charge alot less. I just couldn't offer the 10,000 extra video's, audio lessons and other extra's. It would just be course material and private lessons.<br/>

<t>I want to make clear that I'm certainly not an anti in studio teacher advocate. That's the way I make my living and the online stuff will always be a secondary income. Not that I would ever teach any student in this way! In studio students are my bread and butter!<br/>

<t>I do the same with my in studio students but the thing with that is you are limited to accepting only so many students. Your teaching time is pretty much limited to around 3pm to 8pm. You could go later but I don't plus during the week I don't think many people would be interested in coming at ...

<t>I have a question. If you were looking for lessons online what would be more interesting to you?<br/>

I definitely have to agree with every thing said but in my case I have this little shelty that is a huge hit with my students and their parents. Generally I do agree about animals though. If you have a big slobbering dog it may not be a good idea to keep them in the waiting area.

I'm certainly no master of the English language by any means but I think the author of these articles needs a bit more work on it. I agree it doesn't look like a site for teaching as much a site for selling or making money.

The majority of it is a paid site, although a pretty low monthy price, but there is some free stuff on it. He also does a free online lesson every Wednesday at 7 ...

Hey Oily,

Maybe you should re-title this section. With a title like Products / Services offered it sounds like this is the place to go if you have a course or online site you want to promote.

Just a thought!

The only thing is when you use it with a recording program you can build up full songs with different patterns for verses, choruses etc... plus you can add in drum rolls. You just ...
