I, like the rest of you guys no doubt, have seen loads of these types of sites over the years, and they seem to be buying ad space on google etc, making them more visible.

They are ALL b*llocks in my considered opinion. Imagine how gutted the virtuosi of the world will be when they find out they only needed to spend an hour reading rather than the 10+ hours of practice they did per day for years :p .

They remind me of all the 'get rich quick' sites you see now and again - by appealing to our core desire (in this instance to play the guitar like a screaming demon) they hope to get the comparitively small amount of money from us, and the guarantee gives us comfort for long enough to complete the transaction.

Save your money, and use the time you would have spent reading the fret2fret crap to get some practice in.... if you look on ebay, they're some muppet selling strips of paper with all the notes written on that you strap around your guitar neck!!!

There's only one way to do anything well, and it's to take the time necessary to become a master through determination and practice - no short cuts. Don't get me wrong though, if it turns out you can learn how to play like the son of Satch and Jennifer Batten simply by concentrating really hard on a dodgy download, you'll let me know right? :D
