Learn and Master Guitar Review - finally a real one

If you Google the term " learn and master guitar review ", you'll get dozens of listings for reviews of this popular learn guitar home study course. These reviews are for the most part just set up by internet marketers who want you buy the product, and buy it through them. From what I've seen, most of these so-called "unbiased product reviews" are anything but. They all sound the same.

It's to the point that these types of reviews are no longer credible, even in the rare case it is truly an unbiased review. So I've decided to take a complete different approach...read my radically different Learn and Master Guitar Review here.

Peal Guitars - Beware of Dealing with Ye-IL International

I just put up a page on the topic of Peal Guitars over on Guitar Players Toolbox. This is just a little off topic because it deals more with business-related issues than how to play guitar! However, I wanted to warn people about the risks involved with import/export scams based on my experience being scammed by Ye-Il International, the Seoul, Korea company that produces and markets Peal Guitars world-wide.

Unfortunately I had a very bad experience with my dealings with this company and its owner, Mr. US Kwon. I ended up losing all the money I put into the transaction to import some Peal guitars into the U.S. Ah well, lessons learned! Read all about my problems with this company at:
