People buy that kind of stuff because they're looking for the secret shortcut. Anybody that's been playing guitar for a reasonable amount of time knows there are no shortcuts. Efficient ways doing things and practicing yes but as you stress it takes years of repetition. Magic secrets to overnight success will always outsell hard work, but rarely produces any kind of success. Even when people do succeed using that kind of nonsense it's likely as a result of their own work ethic rather than the system. You're honest and that's a good thing. Your students respect you and acknowledge you whereas money making gurus make their money and are ridiculed later down the line. I'll take the respect of the money every time. Too bad it's so hard to get both.

nope. idiots who fall for that crap are. truth is if they followed your system they'll be able to play what he claims + 100 times more. (my thought)

Save the email address and send it to the trolls when they want to know "tips" and shortcuts! By the way I am doing the daily routine and steadily improving thank you so much.

Well, it's not quite as bad as the adverts I've seen for products that say 'Become a guitar God in 15 minutes'. I think that's about as bad as it gets!

BLAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its all in the marketing.
ALL CRAP

People WANT TO BE TOLD they will be great players in a couple of lessons because they are so used to failing at other aspects in life.....if they are not great...no big surprise...it was HOPE they were after the whole time!!! People do not want to be told it may take 5 years to really start playing the guitar. Ten years to start to see..... Ohh and thats at 5 hrs a day....at least!

IDK...they may be good but....not great.

This is akin to televangelists. Reminds me of Swaggart.

It's funny thing about these "quicky" courses. None of them ever go into the details. From watching Pebber's picking DVD, one of the biggest things is intensity. Meaning the amount of time you put into it. This is not really mentioned in other video's and articles. It's almost like those workout videos that say you can gain 25 pounds of muscle in just 3 Weeks! Its a very real introduction to becoming a better player.

Just think about Pebber's "hidding the metronome" game. It's one of the hardest things to do but one on the best things to do for timing accuracy that you can do. Think about guys practicing for years not knowing their timing sucks. Tragic.

I didn't think I could pick the 5's and now I'm at about 80 BPM. I had to start at 35-40 BPM but I'm better for it.

Its all just pure gold and the last time I checked gold is at around $1700 an ounce.....

:D
