I’ve been a member on and off for a decade. Scott Nygards bluegrass lessons are perfect for me and I love, love how they give you the ability once a month to try a different course. That is a huge feature for me as I will go back-and-forth between the different bluegrass courses.
I'm really enjoying the two courses I'm taking. Peghead Nation has topnotch instructors and topnotch video production. I'm mostly interested in roots music and PN is a great place for that.
The ability to change lessons a couple of times a month to build on what I learn from one teacher and go deeper in line with my advancement and preferences.
Excellent. John Doyle is a phenomenal musician and the tutorials were super. Tutorials were at a high level, which was perfect. I.e. it seems to be geared at people who already know traditional music, which was a perfect fit. The interface was good. I had to cancel my subscription after one month though. Cancelling was easy. I intend to re-subscribe and resume the course as soon as I can.
Excellent way to learn an instrument, top instructors, really like the transcriptions in standard notation and tab.

The Western Swing Fiddle is highly recommended.
The Western Swing Fiddle course was well presented. The material was broken down into comprehensible pieces and also presented in context and up to speed. Also provided were music notation of much of the material presented. The tune selection was from the core of the repertoire giving it immediate use and value. Finally, general tips for success were given from the experience of the instructor.
I've very much enjoyed Aaron Weinstein's Gypsy Jazz Mandolin and Chord Melody Mandolin classes. He's an excellent instructor who presents interesting tunes to work on, some of which are relatively easy to learn and others more challenging. I highly recommend his classes to anyone who's interested in learning more about Swing/Jazz on the mandolin.
Peghead Nation has an excellent model for online music instruction. It is created to benefit the student: Affordable ($25.00 per month); Flexible, (You can change courses and instructors easily) and non-binding (no commitments, you can cancel at any time). From the student's point of view this is first class. But even better, Peghead Nation has a great variety of instructors to choose from and each has their own style of instruction, so if your first (or second or third) choice isn't a good fit, you can change easily to find the right instructor.
I take 2 Joe K Walsh mandolin courses. His teaching is easy to understand and his lessons are quick and easy to fit into my routine. The play along tracks are excellent too!
