Research Criteria - Additional Extras (or Free Stuff)

Whilst the quality and quantity of teaching are important, there are also many other aspects to a great quality product.

Before you invest your hard earned cash in a guitar teaching product, or service, its good to know what else you'll get. For many people, things like forums, chats, and Q&A sessions are equally as valuable in terms of learning, and motivation, as the lessons themselves.

Also it's good to know there are some Guarantees attached to the product. Therefore to score this section, we've given the following 'value added' elements an individual score of 4 points, which works as a cumulative total. So if a site offers both a Forum, and a Guarantee, they score the cumulative total of 8 points.

For example, points are awarded for the following types of additional extras. Sites do not need to have these specific Extras to get these points, but these are by way of example:
Forum: 4 points
Video Q&A sessions: 4 points
Genuine product previews: 4 points
Guarantee: 4 points
Free downloads: 4 points
