Thanks that I could keep the same fee. If I was a new member I shouldn't be able to pay $30 month.
So I'm glad I already in because GMC is great. This post has been edited by Pio Jr.: Aug 14 2009, 07:22 PM -------------------- Guitartonemaster.com - +2500 free guitar jam- & backing tracks -

Do I sense an increasing tension in GMC's population ?
SIRE ! The peasants are revolting ! I fully understand that $20 for 3 months is like celebrating Christmas every day of the year, but I have a pretty bad feeling about the site's popularity if the price were to TRIPLE. Yes, the site has grown over the past 2-3 years, but so has the MEMBERS count... Logically, as the site gets bigger (increasing fees/outcome), the popularity grows, resulting in a higher number of members, in which case a higher income is implicit... Again, I have spent many years with private instructors for both piano and guitar, and I appreciate what GMC is doing. Researching "on my own" - 24/7 availability - has proved a way to learn much more than 20 minutes a week with incompetent instructors. Finally, I think the site does have the right to an increased fee, but in my opinion, better publicity and ultimately exploiting countries like China (who according to another forum post, is experiencing a pretty big cultural wave of guitar playing) would let this community acquire plenty of new members who will help finance GMC's activity. If such a member-count explosion were to take place, I am sure you could lower the prices again for an even higher member-count. Oh, one positive thing about the fee's multiplication ! My dad will never even think about cancelling my subscription, since he would never get back to the lovely old fee...

Hmmmm... Im not so sure about the value of such a big increase, it puts GMC into a whole other market in my opinion. Whilst I think the forums are unequivocally the best on the net, I'm finding myself using only a few of the instructors lessons so it doesnt seem to represent the value it did before. Sure, if I used every lesson that came out it would but who does? Maybe Kris should consider "one off" prices for specific lessons, personally I find myself searching for more specific lessons more and more which means I look elsewhere than GMC because the GMC format tries to encompass everything under one fee, I would be surprised if I try and learn one lesson a month at the moment because I have very clear goals of what I want to achieve. This is clearly a business decision by the management and I respect anyone with the drive and committment to make something like this work, however GMC must be able to offer flexibility or it will lose out to its competitors that offer multiple solutions. Flexibility is indeed a good word to use. However, giving one single option of payment could be a bit annoying for some members, and of course, high constant prices every month could agitate those who aren't as active as the others... For me, the full payment works the best, as I draw inspiration from almost every feature on GMC, especially collaborations, REC and chat (and very many video lessons) ! -------------------- My YouTube Channel
