Thank you for all the lesson summaries. These are always great. Renting vs owning, it's an interesting question for me. I was a TrueFire subscriber for 2-3 years and found that given the sheer volume of classes I tended to scurry from one to the next. As a result, and also because I have some reason to believe the artists are compensated more fairly through purchased courses, I began to buy courses. I have found on the whole this has helped me to focus on going deeper, taking more ownership and doing less jumping around. At the same time, I think renting has its place. I think if the collection of lessons/teachers were smaller and more focused (compared to TrueFire), a subscription model would have some advantages. It would nice to be able to sample more courses to settle into a the ones that I bonded with.

Thanks for the nice words Marty. I agree with you about the subscribe/own question. What I’ve been doing is subbing to TrueFire and purchasing the courses I absolutely would want if my subscription lapsed.
