I've seen a few threads about these sites with people wondering if the instructional material is any good. They are both run by the same guy, Alex Sampson.

First of all, the guy's sales pitch is a bit annoying. It all reads like an infommercial. But I took the plunge and was actually pleasantly surprised. Obviously it isn't perfect, but fantastic bang-for-buck.

I have taken lessons from Adam Nitti and honestly feel like this course is just as good as Adam's method.

Just wanted to share my thoughts.

Also, he just released a free video series. First he jams through "Take 5" by Brubeck:

Then he breaks it down in detail:

That's a good lesson! I'm only halfway through the third video.
