Martin Taylor lessons question

guitarama · #1 08-21-2011, 09:28 AM

I apologize, if you've already seen this on the introductory page. I should have posted it here instead.
I'm new here. I play a few instruments, including a lot of guitar - mostly bluegrass, celtic, a bit of flamenco and the last few years choro, but not much regular jazz. Just an occasional piece. Anyway, I'm on the edge of signing up for Martin Taylor's lessons, but he shows it on his site as $60 for 3 months, and that amount is echoed as the continual renewal price on the actual sign up page, but at the bottom of the page, where you actually commit, the price is $90 for 3 months. There is also a place to enter promotions. Anyone know either where I can find one of those, or what the price deal is all about? Are any of you paying $90? Not trying to be cheap, but I also don't want to be the only kid on the block paying 50% more than everyone else in the game. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

I'm pretty certain I'm paying $60, but I'll have to dig out my Credit Card statement and see for sure, maybe later today.

I appreciate your taking a look at the bill.
I notice you're playing a 7-string Giannini. Do you play choro by any chance?
How do you like the Giannini? They evidently come in many levels of quality, so I've heard varied reviews.

Yes, I looked and it was $60. As to the Giannini, I have it but don't really play it much. It's okay for an inexpensive guitar, very playable and decent sound. I bought it mostly to work on some of the Bucky Pizzarelli arrangements for 7 string but haven't spent a lot of time on them. I'd need a 36 hour day to get to every thing on my to do list.

They just changed the pricing for new students as of the 18th:

Any New students that join MTGA before August 18th will pay the old price: $60 for 3 months. On August 18th, we will move to the new tiered pricing model: 3 months for $90 ($30 per month), 6 months for $150 ($25 per month), or 12 months for $240 ($20 per month, our current monthly rate).

Personally, I still think it's well worth the price.
