Thanks Sam. I was afraid that was the case. Certainly not what I was expecting though. I do require lots of repetition, as I think most people do. But no new material in years? I have to admit I didn’t see that one coming.

Jeff, I do expect we come from very different places. My mother started me on piano lessons at 5 years old. Those lessons continued weekly until I was 12. I then took up the trumpet in the school band. That lasted for 6 years. In my 20’s I bought a guitar. I took a few lessons, but really wasn’t financially in a place to continue. I learned Cowboy Chords, and played for a number of years, but never really felt like I knew anything. In my 50’s I bought a banjo. I have played clawhammer for past 15 years. I play at jams and have been in several bands. But my true desire was to play the guitar. I do love the structure of this site. The weekly focus and daily lessons are unique compared to other options. I appreciate the Benchmark tunes and their frequency. And like I expect most people, I see improvement with each of those weeks. I get excited thinking about what’s coming next week. At least I used to, until I discovered that after 1 year, I’ve basically see it all here. Like you said, there aren’t any new notes in the scale. As I said before, I did not expect that this site is basically on autopilot. I paid for another year before knowing this, and that’s just a little frustrating for me. I will continue to login every day, just as I have done for the past year. I will do the lessons and I will no doubt grow and improve, but I will be disappointed because I assumed the Benchmark tunes were the only thing being repeated here. I guess my fault. I appreciate your comments and your time.

Then I guess all your expectations are fulfilled here. Good for you.

Loraine, I contacted Victoria when I first saw the lessons for November, which at least for me, considering October as well, made it 8 weeks in a row of repeated material. She said they were working on new material. But she didn’t say when to expect them. I have to admit I had not suspected that this site was on Auto Pilot. Thanks for your comments.

Hey Moose, appreciate your response. I’m guessing we’re in different places. If I had known, I wouldn’t have renewed for another year.

Yeah, I wish someone actually explained how repeated is the core of this program. I just finished one year. And I enjoyed the experience. But since my year was up, I’ve seen nothing but repeated lessons. 8 weeks in a row. I do like the structure and the content of most of the lessons , this has become very boring. If I would have known, I would have saved my money on year 2.

I just finished my first year here. I am a veracious record keeper, so it’s painfully obvious to me when a lesson, besides the benchmarks tunes shows up. Since my first year ended in September, there has been 8 weeks of repeated lessons in a row. Pretty obvious this site is on auto-pilot. I wish I had known when my year was up, that I wasn’t going to be seeing much of anything new. I have to say I am disappointed at this point. I used to wake up and rush to download the day’s tab. No more I guess.

My first year anniversary was in Sept this year. I eagerly paid for another year. And since then, there has not been one new lesson. I’m seeing 8 weeks of the same old, same old. If I would have known there is no new material, I would not have paid for another year. Live and learn I suppose.
