I saw other people saying that Tony has had some family issues to deal with and that is why he stopped creating all new content. I think everything stopped when he announced that there would be no more weekly guitar love videos and we would just get a Monday morning email about the coming week.

I have been a member over two years. I think my membership will renew around June maybe. I download all exercises, print off TABS and put them in a file. Every week now I know I am going to have the TAB sheets in my file and there is not going to be anything new. It has been so for a looong time.

I am not someone who spends huge amounts of time practicising. I just fit a short session in every day. Regardless, I am definitely at the point that I am thinking carefully about whether or not to renew just to retain access to all the exercises and Fretboard Wizard whilst searching further afield for fresh songs and licks. I am a ‘bored easily’ type person. I really don’t even want to sit down and practice any of the benchmark songs again now. It is not that I play anything well. I am just one of those people that needs things to be fresh to stay interested.

I am guessing that Tony has maybe calculated what is going to work for him in terms of time and memberships. There is probably a fairly constant influx of new members (I came from seeing a YouTube ad). It might work out okay if some older members drop off. I am not critical of that. You gotta do what you gotta do. It would be useful to know if he has any intention of adding any new content or not but, I don’t know what he has going on.

If the site had a feedback section I would leave him a suggestion. Something that would probably keep me here would be section with single exercises being added say once a month at least. No need for Tony to spend all the time it takes to construct and film a whole week of exercises. Just pay friends/associates a small fee (or do it himself) to do the videos and TAB for a Lick, Riff, Chord Progression for songs that have never been covered. Personally, I don’t even need a Learn video. Just a Play video and TAB would be enough. Then when everyone else is playing Old Man or Wagon Wheel again, I would just do one of those.

There is no Lifetime upgrade option showing anywhere on my interface. I have paid three x $197 and the cost of Fretboard Wizard already so it would have been nice if I had been emailed and recommended upgrade to Lifetime in the first year. Finding another $400 now for a resource that seems to be getting pared down instead of lifted up is not ideal. Cash is very tight for me. I feel like it would be more affordable to cancel but keep log in details. Then if I feel like I need it again in a year or two I could come back. I can see from all the recent reviews that people are joining all the time. I think that is probably the business model now. Allow a bit of drop off because new influx comes in and let the whole things run itself.
