if its so inconsequential to you perhaps you can pay for mine
Let me think about that
I just noticed this change. I totally understand a price increase as the value seemed so good to be true. Iāve been using the free lessons for over a year and was actually looking to pay for the $99 life-time access this week as sort of a way to pay for all the material Iāve consumed so far and to support Justin but that offering is no longer an option so I am honestly a little disappointed. Maybe a warning may have been helpful. I hope there will be another life-time access option in the future with or without a price increase.
Came here thinking the same thing! I JUST completed module 2 yesterday and was surprised to see module 3 requires payment. Itās still listed above the āsubscribe to unlock full courseā button and itās not grayed out nor does it have a padlock on it. Strange.
I think some people here are missing the point
If JustinGuitar was a business set up to make profit from the outset, it would be fair enough to expect a high level of ācustomer careā.
My understanding is it started out as free sample lessons, an advertisement for guitar tuition with Justin, and simply grew in popularity. As it has become a full-time occupation, of course he has to figure out ways to earn a living and pay staff. The course has always been, and still remains free to everyone.
Sure, in recent times there are more āaccessoryā components that folk are able to purchase if they wish. And yes, they are becoming more comparable in price to other services. I donāt think thereās any information in the Practical Music Theory course that is not available for free on the internet elsewhere. Youāre paying for his teaching style and to support the site.
As I type, there are over 170ā000 registered users on the site. If every one of those simply donated six pounds, that would be over a million quid! (Donāt even think about his 1.6 million YouTube subscribers )
By all means, cancel/donāt purchase your subscriptions if you donāt think theyāre worth it, but please think before you complain that the ābusinessā is not being run professionally enough or that there are not enough ābargainsā anymore.
Rant over
Peace
And lets not forget if anyone is in a situation where they genuinely canāt afford the premium courses Justin does take that into consideration and makes arrangements for them to have free access. I donāt think Iāve ever come across such a generous and caring offer on any other platforms.
Hello
I received the email saying the following and I just have a question bc I am confused (English is not my first language):
-
Email
" Your JustinGuitar Practical Music Theory Course subscription is due for renewal in 7 days. Youāre subscribed to a Legacy Plan that no longer exists - but you can keep that deal for as long as you want!
Your current subscription costs 9.99 USD every 6 months. Now, we only have montlhy or yearly plans: the monthly one costs 5.99 USD, and the yearly plan costs 44.99 USD.
I hope you are enjoying the course and getting a lot out of it; if you want to keep it going, you donāt need to do anything! Your 6-Month Legacy Plan will renew automatically." -
Question: when it is renewing automatically, does that mean it will take 9,99 USD from my bank account and I will have the plan for 6 more months. Or will it switch automatically for another plan?
Hi Olivia it should renew for the 9.99 for 6 months.
@larynejg or @Richard_close2u can either of you find out for sure if this is the case?
If you keep your current subscription going, youāll pay the original price (forever).
If you ever let it lapse, youāll have to sign up for one of the new plans.
The copy could be a bit better structured; gonna check with team
Hi there!
Thanks for reaching out. Youāll be charged the same price you already have, 9.99 USD every six months. If you cancel the auto-renew but wish to subscribe again, you can only access the new plans.
Best wishes,
Laryne
