So far, I've only seen pre-recorded videos. Anyone else know if there's any interaction?

My only disappointment was that I didn't get to hear Matt talk. Handsome devil, though.

Mine keeps shutting down too. I'm using Firefox. Will try IE. Also, the site is VERY slow. Using broadband/DSL. The "Please Wait, loading information" screen takes forever!

Well, I tried IE, seems a little more stable, but I do keep getting "Error in shockwave file. Cannot continue" messages. Have to close the browser, re-login, renavigate to the correct page and it may work.

Yes, I got the e-mail and tried both the sample lesson and the Video. Both just hung there. I have broadband.
I am trying it today by your link. It just sits there with the "connecting" message.
Needless to say, I am not that impressed at this point. I am hoping that it is just glitching being that it just getting up to speed.

I uninstalled both Shockwave and Quicktime and re-installed. The site seems to wrok fine now. The downloads are a bit slow but I've found you need to "coax" things a little to get it started. It tries to download ALL the lessons before it starts the first one but you can click on the first one as soon as it's done to start it.

Overall I'm impressed. I'm not sure there is much available to help my folk-rock style of playing. Seems most is geared towards blues, rock, and jazz but I think I might sign up for a month and see what else is available.

One more disadvantage I see is there is no way I can find to contact the site for questions.

Bill, on the opening page with all the choices, there is one that says "Contact Us".

Was there something else that you were looking for specifically besides that????

Sorry, I don't seem to have that choice. I'm still in the demo mode but I don't see any way to contact anyone. I did just find a "Support" button on the "Sign Up Page". That's close enough.

Ahhh, that may be true since I see that option "after" I log in.

Visited the site and took the tour. The questions asked were intrument, age, style.
I am a 50 year old acoustic guitar player. The 25 teachers that came back for interviews were almost all electric rock, jazz, blues guitarist. Need to get some acoustic teachers if you want to hit that segment.

Check out the dark haired gal in the lower left corner. (I forgot her name). Classically trained and I was really impressed with the audio clip of her playing. One of those that made me wish I could play like that, because maybe my wife would let me buy any guitar I wanted.

She lets you buy 911s and you complain about not buying guitars? Is that glass half empty or half full, buddy? ;)

(Now, me, I'm the kind of guy that looks at the glass and says, 'Where the (#*# is the waitress!' 'Cuz, either way, it ain't where it should be. You know?)

I agree with Steve. Not much to offer in my style. Even on the demo lessons, all they seem to offer were electric riffs, not that I couldn't stand to learn more about other styles but I really like the accoustic sound.
