Last week I was trying to decide whether to finally go ahead and order Learn and Master Guitar. I'm not sure how I originally found out, but it seems to be a very popular system.
The reviews for it are great. Almost too great. Every review seemed to be so good that I started to question the authenticity of them.
First, take a look at these Google search results for learn and master guitar.
So why not believe them?
- The reviews seemed a little too close to the same.
- Every link title "is this a scam" lead to an "absolutely not" review.
- Why were there so many links with scam in the subject in the first place?
- Why were there so many paid advertisement links to reviews?
- (This one is the worst.) The site always has a limited time offer sale of $100 off which is about to end. Check back after the expiration date, and the 3 day clock resets.
- The award it won seems a little shady.
Everything started to feel like an infomercial or a get rich quick scheme.
So why believe them?
- Forums, forums, forums. I really could not find any bad reviews. The worst I found were comments that the system was good but don't expect a magic bullet, or good for beginners (me) but not intermediate players.
- Same results on Q & A sites.
- Same results on blogs.
Is it really possible that this company is trolling all these sites to put up fake positive reviews?
I know there are some guitar players that read GWB. Anyone know more about this? I plan on supplementing this with real lessons from Melodic Rhythms and The Principals of Correct Practice for Guitar.
Now let's see if I can find time to learn to play, launch juggle.com and start posting more again. My track record of late on GWB has been abysmal.
