Guitar DVD Courses to Avoid

Just because a DVD set says that it will teach you guitar in three days, doesn’t mean that it will in fact teach you guitar in three days.

There will always be a scamming company looking to make a quick buck off of someone’s hobby. In many cases, the way companies make money is through holiday purchases.

Relatives want to support their budding musician and buy the first product that promises the most. All the good intentions go to waste if the guitar DVD set is full of fillers and unprofessional lessons.

In this article, we’ll go over the guitar lesson DVD courses that you should do your best to avoid.

First off, here is a list of things to look for when you are considering purchasing a guitar DVD set. Consider these the red flags of buying, as they more often than not lead to a rip off. Remember, there will always be that exception to the rule, but don’t feel the need to risk your cash due to a company’s poor marketing. If you are that eager to throw away money, just take the cash and flush it down the toilet. It’ll be far more rewarding to watch the money spin than it will be to watch a bogus guitar DVD set.

Promises: Most good DVD sets can stand on their own two feet. This means they don’t need to make extreme promises of Eddie Van Halen skills in just six hours.

Bonus Material Not Shown: They might as well peal the band aid quickly; this spells junk.

Better than Product A, B, or C: If they have to make the promise and won’t let their quality speak for them, odds are they aren’t.

Beginner to Advanced in Only Two Discs: No. It would take a minimum of six well-crafted and fully packed DVD’s to walk through the amount of concepts required simply to get into the moderate stages of playing.

So now that we know which qualities stink of scam, what are the products that make promises larger than life?

Guitar Hotshot. This is one of the worst products we have ever seen. Not only are the instructors pretentious, but they claim stardom simply because they play at bars for a bunch of drunks on the weekends. Any musician can sound like God to the ears of a drunk. No musician has the right to claim that everyone knows them simply because of the fact. Awful quality videos and absurd promises (which go untouched throughout the course) top this one off.

Fret2Fret. Unfulfilled promises, videos that look as if they were made by a child, absolutely no support, and giving away promotional material that is stolen; Mike Slaiter worked very hard to ruin this one.

Music Master Pro: Yet another flop. The instructors have roughly twenty videos after promising hundreds, the videos are shot with what looks like a five dollar web cam, and the instructors play worse than any musicians we’ve seen.

While there are many other scams on the net, the best thing to do before buying any guitar DVD courses or site memberships is research. Your wallet and your hobby will thank you.
