Product Advice and Reviews:
We recommend certain products above others because we have researched and tested what they offer. In fact, you won't find many products that we do recommend. Especially for beginners.
But we do explain why we recommend them and why we believe they offer extreme value for money.
Note: If you use our links to purchase any of the products we recommend, we do receive payment by way of a referral fee. This means we are affiliates of these products. But please also note, that we never promote any products that are rubbish. (We also provide examples of those 'rubbish' sites so you can compare them for yourself.) If we did that it wouldn't be long before our credibility was shot to flames. And any products we do recommend, we also offer advice and tips to get the most benefit from the product you may purchase.
If you prefer not to purchase via our links, just bypass them and visit the site directly. (Of course we hope you get such huge value from Tortoise Guitar that you will be only too pleased to purchase through our links.)
Testimonials: Real or Fake?
We do not use testimonials from members or purchasers of our products. That's because they can be so easily faked to only show positive results. Besides, the FTC (Federal Trade Commission) has clamped down on the misleading and dishonest use of testimonials to promote products – and about time, too, in our humble opinion.
However, we do have comment areas where members and purchasers can leave their honest comments and opinions (good and bad) about Tortoise Guitar memberships and products. None of these have been solicited, paid for, bribed or moderated. You are most welcome to view them. You'll find them on various pages throughout this site.
Also, we believe Tortoise Guitar's products are extremely good value and speak for themselves. Plus, our guarantees and refund policies offer plenty of time for you to really put our products to the test. We want to help you achieve your guitar playing goals first and foremost. If we can't do that and you're not absolutely 100% delighted with our products, then we insist – you must ask for your money back! We will give it back promptly and with no hoops to jump through. Further, anything you have downloaded, you can keep for free, just as our thanks for giving us a fair go.
Enjoy the site.
