They upped it to 500,000. Wow

Edit: Okay, just signed up, took less than a minute. Looks well-organized and worth a look. Pick Rock or Funk. Rock has five levels, 72 lessons in all, tracks practice time, sets goals. Nice.

The first three levels are slow. I mean really slow going. Some of the songs are ok but even the instructors have a bit of a smirk about how slow it is. That said, the last two levels are great. Good pacing, decent songs and the instructors are having way more fun. Sometimes even singing a few bars to some of the songs.

Fortunately if there is a section you know and don’t want to do, Mark it complete and move on. It took me a few hours to skim the beginner stuff. I actually did blues guitar and loves a lot of the harder songs. I’ve done less bass but have been enjoying how much technique there is.

If you do enough each week to earn a streak you are entered into a draw for fender gear and the more weeks you have streaked, the more entries you get. Meh it’s fine.

Best part of all is that it’s very consistent. The production quality is good and if you are using a computer, the tabs are below the video. I’ve been enjoying it

What is the pricing after the free trial? I can't find it on the website. Which makes me highly skeptical. I utterly lack discipline and can see myself taking a handful of lessons during the trial and then getting busy with other things/forgetting.

No credit card required to sign up so that shouldn't be an issue.

It’s 9.99/month but they don’t ask for payment info. You only need to create an account.

Thanks! Seems like too much to me. I would think it would be in Fender's interest to help people learn how to play.

Agreed. I wonder, when these three months are over, how many people will continue and pay. I don’t intend to.

It’s cheap if you wait for their sales. I got a crazy deal on Black Friday

I might be late to the party, but what are we supposed to do? I click "Get Code" and it's asking for a code

The code shows above the input code section, at least it did for me.
