The Good: Guitar Made Easy definitely covers the basics of playing guitar. You will learn how to hold the guitar correctly, how to tune it, and then on to the more advanced aspects. A lot of information is enclosed. The author has many different lessons and touches on a lot of what you need to know to get playing guitar. The e-book is put together very well and the author did a good job writing the lessons.

Another aspect that will catch a lot of people's eyes is the lower price tag. While this may be good if you are on a budget, it is important to keep in mind that you get what you pay for.

The Bad: Although there are a lot of subjects touched on, they are not explained thoroughly enough. It will get you started on the right path, but leave you hanging or leave you to figure out the rest on your own. It is very hard to do something such as learning to play the guitar just from reading an e-book. Even if the information is there, there is no interactivity and no video or audio to help you along the way. The e-book is relatively short and still has some information that is obviously just filler.

The Bottom Line: While Guitar Made Easy will point you in the right direction, it simply doesn't have enough information to get you where you want to be. You will learn some chords and a few songs, but you will not truly be a good musician or good guitarist. Even though the price tag on Guitar Made Easy looks a lot more appealing than the others, if you honestly want to learn to play guitar, then you will not mind spending a little extra to get the good quality.

Whether you are new to guitar, or are a seasoned veteran, Jamorama will have you playing the guitar like a pro. A great low cost alternative.
Next Level Guitar is one of the top guitar lesson sites available. It has a lot of information available for you and while it is not the best option, it is still a good option.		This site is the creme de la creme. It offers a massive amount of high-quality materials at a great price. Included is multimedia, software, and a great e-book.
Sam Ash Music Institute has so much potential. It is setup great and offers the users everything in the perfect form. There was not as much emphasis on teaching the basics to music and teaching the popular songs instead.
Video Guitar Lessons achieves the goal of teaching people how to play guitar. It just does not do it quite as good as all the others. Their system is good with videos, but they don't offer enough ways to get the lessons across.
