Crossroads
Thump the Bottom
Is anyone still using this site for intermediate/advanced lessons?
I have a Truefire superscription that renews annually.I came across that site probably a year ago I think, and quickly discounted it. My problem with it was this. It took me too long to find where I could get a list of the lessons without registering. I finally found it. Way down at the bottom of the page was a small link for the different levels of lessons. Clicked it and I got a vague list of the lesson titles like "Play Fast Like Joe Satriani." No vid previews. No text descriptions. Just a title of the lesson that didn't really say anything and that was it.
As I recall, if you go with the NLG, it was subscription based with the annual pass being the only way to go. The annual rate was like 1/3 or 1/2 the rate of a monthly pass. I know they gave a trial period, but it seemed more like one of those sites I call hook'em-and-cook'em. They give you a sales pitch, hook you into paying, and then you see that they cooked you because the content isn't quite what you were sold. I may be being unfair to the site and it's really a class act with great content. That's not the feel I get from it though. Admittedly, I never signed up for the trial so I'm making a LOT of assumptions, and because of that, I feel like I need to add this disclaimer: This is totally my opinion based on the lack of content on their home page, and I may be entirely wrong, so take it with the whole shaker of salt and not just a pinch.
For those non-Griff lessons that I want to learn, I usually go to Truefire because i can see what I'm getting a little better. They give a vid preview and a syllabus for the course. And, if I'm patient, I can get it for pretty cheap so long as I wait until their next sale since they seem to have them once a month.
