Academy of Bluegrass - List of Available Mando Lessons

[Raymando7]

I'm interested in exploring the current offer. Is there a list of the lessons available somewhere that can be seen prior to joining ?

I can see the sample lessons but not the full list. I'm not looking for the actual instruction videos, just what's available.

[Scott Tichenor]

Scroll down this page, seems to have the list, but as often as Mike updates could be partially incomplete.

Thanks Scott !

I tried to use the coupon code and it looks like it's invalid or expired?

The best part for me, isn't the available lessons, which are 'great'.....but the dialog between student's who send in videos, and Mike's responses to them. Tons of great ideas on where to go next, to bring it up a notch in Mike's analysis. He has a knack of showing stuff that is within the players grasp, but sounds great. You can go back for lesson after lesson, at your own pace. Put in the time & there is tons of great stuff on there, Mike is a special teacher,with the ability to teach & inspire on many levels in his responses. The more videos that are archived the better the site will get!

I keep hearing reports of this, but people are putting the code in the wrong place. Reviewing their sign-up process I can see it's fairly confusing so I'm not surprised.

Here's what the folks at ArtistWorks told me and I've had two people tell me it works for them after experiencing what you did:

On the sign up page, there is a place for Gift Certificates code and lower down the page near the user info is a place for the promotional codes. Enter it there and it will show up in your cart as four months for the price of three.

I agree with SternART and I will add that the AOB thing is not absolutely limited to the lists of available lessons. Mike has said to his students multiple times, that if they want to do something else, like Irish tunes or tunes on another mandolin-family instrument like an OM, the student should just send in a video of what they are trying to do and Mike will respond with critique and advice like he does with the regular lessons. Some guy recently sent in a video of him playing a obscure Beatles tune. Mike's pretty much open to whatever you want to do. Personally, I'm sticking to curriculum for now and I'm working out a lot bad habits under Mike's direction, but I'm already thinking of departures I might take at some point.

Where can I find this coupon code?
I'm currently on the "poor college student" budget...

I've followed the instructions posted but unfortunately it says this
::Invalid Promo Code - RET22912 - please check and enter again::

I also tried it in the Gift Code section without success....guess I'll have to try again at home..back to work !!

very confusing but i got it.
the code goes right over where you create a password

WOW, sounds like a great deal!! I just wish that there was some way to purchase the 4 for the price of 3 deal now, with a "starting date" in the near future! My wife has been dealing with some very serious issues with cancer over the last several months, and obviously my time has been spent dealing with that situation. I am wondering if this will ever be offered again in the future?
