Bit pricey, but not a scam IMO. It will be costly if you don't stick with it.

I've lost count of how many times I'd pick up the guitar, start learning again and then stop for many different reasons. Mostly, I just finally faced the fact that in my profession (doctor) my hours are just too long, unpredictable and irregular. Since I'm pretty much a task oriented person and do best if follow a-b-c in a structured way, I took a chance and figured, that a full disk based 'course' would give me both the consistency and freedom to follow it from start to end at my own pace. Yes, its expensive and you owe it to yourself to see it through, but so far I can tell you it is definitely not a scam, appears professionally done, and at least for me, has been a smart buy. Good luck.

dont fall for those, theres are so many web sites and books that are like "learn the guitar and feel like those in 30 min" or "master the guitar in 7 days" and stuff like that... Basically to master the guitar, all you need to do is learn songs, but scales can help. If you want to learn something, find it on the internet and if that doesn't work, get a book about the particular thing you want to know, not a whole set about everything. And im almost positive the lessons are pretty bad.

Cool fly, I think I know what you were trying to suggest but I'd say Steve's comment is genuine.

That site ranks it pretty high inspite of the price. In fact, they call it the best out there.

Hey fly,
All I was trying to do was answer someone's question. What I was trying to get across was that I've had an off again/on again run at guitar for a couple of years but was never able to sustain any consistency and my attempts at self- teaching were very fragmented. Sure, the dvd's aren't perfect..I don't suspect anything short of one on one teaching is optimal.
ps- I've always stayed mostly away from bulletin boards because the anonymity of it
allows some people to be particularly nasty, and there are an awful lot of them. Chill out.

mfmdoc, you may have missed this. You have your apology, let's not take it any further please.
