Learn Guitar for Adult Beginners review
A year-long online guitar course for adult beginners with 140 video lessons and a 112-page PDF book, based on the classical method, from Vienna teacher Norman Gänser for $96 with lifetime access.
Worth it
For a structured beginner course this is solid value: 140 lessons plus a book, a clear syllabus and permanent access for $96 compares well with a few months of private lessons, and the teacher is fully identified. The marketing is the weak side. The '$199' package value is never charged, the page contradicts itself on 14 or 60 refund days, and lines such as '100% Guaranteed Success' and avoiding '99% of the most common mistakes' go beyond what any course can promise. Read past the slogans and the content itself looks well organised for adult learners.
