Sharon Gilchrist’s Fingerboard Method… Sharon Gilchrist’s Fingerboard Method course has helped me tremendously. I’m looking at the fingerboard differently and I’m learning a lot about how to lay a melody over the chord progression. I had been in a prolonged plateau period with my playing and this course has spurred me forward and reinvigorated my enthusiasm for playing. Sharon is a great teacher and thoroughly explains the framework of her method. I can’t overstate the value of this course. The level of instruction for the price cannot be beat.

Stick with Well-known Tunes With the mandolin lessons, I did well with the tunes I knew. It's easy to pick out the melody on the instrument when you have the tune in your head. But there was one tune I did not know and I had trouble getting it. I just skipped it and moved on. No other criticism, the teacher did a good job.

Top Notch Instructors Instructors are wonderful. I’m gaining in my confidence and repertoire. I can work at my own pace and fit in lessons at my convenience, without costly travel time in my busy schedule. It’s the next best thing to having these wonderful teachers at my side in person.

I have unsubscribed from the Ukulele… I have unsubscribed from the Ukulele lessons for a number of reasons: -In my opinion the sessions were too fast for a beginner. -Strumming patterns are not intuitive yet not well taught by the instructor - visual strumming pattern not presented well, perhaps up/down arrow diagrams would be better. -Chord patterns not always shown on the video - I had to look at the instructor's hand to check what chord I should be playing. I've been playing the ukulele for 9 months but found this course difficult and too fast. I viewed sessions many times and thus my progress was very slow. I wrote to you suggesting changes but the only response was for me to slow down the video. Quite disappointed as I was looking forward to this manner of learning. Peter

Longtime student's review The instructors-in my case Joe K & John R-are just so good and thorough with teaching style. I do wish there was a less circuitous route to sending messages to either Peghead or to individual instructors though. A separate method for longtime students versus the more "frequently asked questions" method.
