Review of TakeLessons

A complete waste of time

A complete waste of time. I’m glad I used my junk email address because I have been hammered with spam.

Here is what you get. Outrageous rates. $80/hour for guitar lessons? Not worth it given the slow process in learning. This is not like sailing lessons where you get a huge benefit and rapid learning curve from lessons. Guitar study takes years. Lesson need to be affordable. Like $10-15 an hour given the effort for instruction is minimal. Next the rates don’t change. Book ten lessons? Well it’s ten times the hourly rate with no discount. No one in the real world does that. Paying in advance for a block of time is always offered with a discount. No so here. Gestures to these people. Plus there is a fee on top. $24 for the website? I don’t know. But I do know that the rates are ridiculous and what you learn on that time is negligible for the price. I have to wonder how much goes to the instructors. This is a failed .com website model. Do. It support it. I’ll stick to YouTube and free lessons and I bet I’ll learn more faster and take huge satisfaction that I’m not giving my money to someone who has an over inflated value for their services, or a company that gouges. Once again vigorous hand features to this company.

Hi Liam,

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Below is a link to unsubscribe from our marketing emails. We have a great selection of guitar instructors who offer fair prices, as $80 per hour is higher than our average rate. The placement fee that you are referring to is our company fee to get started with a new teacher, which is refundable if you did not take a lesson. 

YouTube is a great way to get started and learn the basics, but private lessons with a custom-tailored curriculum plan will bring your skills to the next level. We hope you reconsider our services in the future.
