The Cost Analysis:
Bass Guitar Secrets vs. a Local Instructor Bass Guitar Secrets by Alex Sampson holds the equivalent of 6 months to one years worth of guitar lessons if you were to space them out as if you were taking lessons from a local guitar instructor. A local instructor specifically will charge anyplace from $20 to $50 per on a weekly basis lesson. Your minimum cost, (not including materials), at only $20 per lesson for 6 months would be at least $520.
The choice comes down to: Bass Guitar Secrets at $49.95 to $97 or a local instructor at $520 to $1040.
Guarantee: One full year.
Support: A free consecrated internet Support Site, A blog that allows you to interact with experienced bassists, Free Membership to the BGS 1-on-1 personal coaching program, Free Lifetime Updates for the two main instructional manuals, Two Free Video Tutorials for downloading and setting up Bass Guitar Secrets program.
The Bottom Line:
At introductory I was not expecting to like Bass Guitar Secrets because it does not include video in the lessons but, tardily I was won over. The lesson content and quality are unquestionably on the mark. Alex Sampson is a severe bassist that also has a flair for instructing and it shows in the details of his course.
The quality of the 400 plus audio examples and play along jam tracks are top notch which lends an necessary degree of realism to the learning experience, (not to mention a outstanding deal of fun as well).
I am pleased with the overall reasonable price but, I am exceptionally impressed that even the lowest cost, instant download version ($49.95) of Bass Guitar Secrets includes everything and I mean everything that the more highpriced printed version offers.
The bottom line is that Bass Guitar Secrets gets the occupation done at an magnificent price. It has distinctly earned my recommendation. The rest is now up to you.
