Is it worth it?
You've had the guitar a few years now. You can get through a handful of songs, maybe hold a bar chord without it buzzing, but when a solo comes round you either freeze or play the same five notes you always play. That plateau is genuinely demoralising, and it's what this one is aimed at: lead playing, fretboard confidence, getting your hands to do what's in your head. Now the awkward part. The sales page at guitarcontrol.net isn't loading, it returns a server error. So I can't tell you how many lessons there are, who teaches them, what style they lean towards, or what it costs. I'm not going to describe a course I can't actually see. What is known is that it bills on a repeating schedule. So it's a subscription, not a one-off, and whatever the first charge is, expect it again next month until you cancel. Lesson subscriptions can be decent value, more contact time than a weekly teacher for less money, but only if you actually sit down and use it. If the page comes back, find the monthly price, the refund window and where the cancel button lives before you pay. If it's still erroring, other lead guitar courses will at least show you what's inside first.
Pros
- Learn at your own pace, replay the hard bits
- Usually cheaper per month than a local teacher
- Aimed at a specific, very common sticking point
- Monthly billing means you can stop after one month
Cons
- Sales page is down, so nothing about the contents can be checked
- Recurring billing keeps charging until you actively cancel
- No price, lesson count, teacher name or refund terms shown
What you get
Not confirmable right now. The sales page returns a server error, so the lesson count, the teachers, the format and the price are all unlisted. Going by the GuitarControl name, expect online video lessons weighted towards lead playing, with access continuing while the subscription runs. Treat anything more detailed than that as a guess until the page loads properly.
Before you buy
- Wait until the page loads, then confirm the price and how often it repeats before entering card details
- Find the cancellation route and refund window in the terms, not the sales copy
- Keep the purchase receipt email, that is normally where a subscription can be cancelled
Who it suits
Intermediate players who can strum but can't solo, and only once the page works and the price is visible
