hey papplehead I got his course and find it invaluable.Beatnik was great about getting back to me and putting up with my lack of knowledge on installing and running the course and walked me through it. Also said at any point he would be more than happy to refund my money if I was at all unhappy.
I wouldn't trade the course for anything, it's fantastic and has helped me immensely. He also hooks you up with his members site and offers all kinds of freebees and helpful advice. If you serious about the uke I think it's a small price to pay for the value you get. Hope this is helps, have fun playing!
