"Mike Slaiter" of "fret2fret.com", and most recently of "9gigs.com". is selling a "revolutionary" new innovative guitar learning software. In fact, it's nothing more than a SCAM. Totally worthless.

The "100% money back guarantee" sounds great. Until you try and claim it. Then Ole Mike vanishes. Doesn't answer emails.

I bought the program based on the extraordinary claims on the website. ($34.50).

I received instructions to go to a website link, and download a zipped file. ( http://www.9gigs.com/EasyGuitarPro.zip )

Once unzipped on my system (per instructions), I found a group of 57 totally useless computer files, that do absolutely NOTHING.

I tried to email "Mike", seeking clarification but never got a reply. This I can only assume, because he KNOWS the download to be useless, and has skipped off into the sunset with my money.

The man is a crook.

Oh dear, lunatic alert!

AUTHOR: speedomes - (USA)

For your information Rich (or is it Jim?), you were refunded immediately, and even
after refunding, I kept helping you sort out YOUR errors.
There is no exe file because the guitar method is lauched via your
browser. It is a HTML file which is clearly there to be seen. You are
the only person who extracted all the files lol. Never mind, there is
always one!
Also, I strongly suggest you remove that link, even though I have
changed it. By doing that you have broken  intellectual property laws
and that is not a good thing. I have obviously reported you to the
relevant powers that be.

For everyone els'e information, the new easy guitar pro system is
nothing like fret2fret. It is receiving fantastic reviews and
testimonials which can be read on the site www.9gigs.com
It is a completely new concept. It shows you a simple, super shape
that is repeated all over the guitar neck on 3 sets of strings. This
super shape contains every note in the major scale. It never changes
and the positions to each other never change. It is very easy to
locate the shapes in any key so you can instantly see the whole
fretboard.
After you have learnt the super shape and it's start positions in any
key you can use the super shape to:-
Play along to any song
Quickly find all the notes that belong in any key
Create solos, riffs and design your own melodies
Play any chord, anywhere on the fretboard
Re-create solos anywhere on there fretboard
Play chord tones in any key (the art of beautiful playing)
Automatically Play all pentatonics scales in any key.
Play any scale in any key simply by noting the formula of that scale
you want to learn.
See the fretboard layed out in a simple way that allows you instant
fretboard domination.
etc, etc
What I listed is a fraction of what is available.
It is a superb invention and one I use all the time to teach my
students.

Please ignore this sladerous tripe posted by this idiot who can't even follow simple instructions, it appears this guy is a serial poster and changes his name regularly
all the best

Well, a response!!!

AUTHOR: Rich - Conroe (USA)

Hello again "Mike". Funny the lengths someone must go to to get a response from you.

I NEVER got a refund from you. (I Just checked paypal again to be sure. Nope...nothing. GEE...what a surprise!!!)

I have never HEARD from you since I ordered the software. No Email offering assistance, no communications PERIOD.

A quick search of "9gigs.com", or "Mike Slaiter", or "Fret2fret.com" will tell anyone interested EXACTLY what they are dealing with when they make the mistake of dealing with you. I'm FAR from the only person to be ripped off by your SCAM.

Your product is a joke. It doesn't work.

It's obvious that you need the money worse than I do, so you go ahead and keep it.

Karma takes care of things, and people like you.

Oh...and about your "Intellectual Property"....SUE ME!!!!!  I'd like nothing better than to see you come slithering out of your hole!!! BRING IT!!!!

Have a nice life.

Product does what it promises and is NOT a scam

AUTHOR: Diji - Sausalito (United States of America)

I do not know "Mike Slaiter" or whether he is even a real person.  I purchased this product after much deliberation, fully expecting to be ripped off and have to ask for a refund, but decided it was worth a try.

The product delivers exactly what it promises; a new and unique, as far as I know, way of looking at the guitar fretboard, which allows one to quickly and easily revisualize and reconceptualize the way the MAJOR scales are layed out, thus enabling a near-instant ability to improvise leads and melody lines against a MAJOR chord progression.  

It will NOT make you a guitar god, or a faster or truly "better" guitarist, at least not without the requisite years of practice, but it does offer a, frankly, mind-blowing new way of thinking about MAJOR SCALE patterns as they are layed out on the guitar's neck.  (Actually, it struck me as rather brilliant; even though it is something that is right there, staring everyone in the face, no guitar teacher or guitar player I have ever met or worked with has noticed it.)  It also will NOT work in anything but a MAJOR scale, nor does it claim to.

As far as claiming and receiving a refund, I cannot speak to that as I am a satisfied customer; I did not ask for a refund.

When I made my purchase I received the download links immediately.  As Mike states, the "software" is not a program or .exe file, but is delivered as an .html file you view through your web browser.  Unconventional, perhaps, but obvious and intelligent.  If it were an .exe or .pdf file that "Jim" or "Rich" could download to his hard drive, he no doubt would have violated intellectual property rights and given copies to everyone he knows and posted download links all over the web.  Instead, this html file is viewable only by the paying customer, only on his machine.  Smart, not devious, unethical or criminal.

Lastly, my only "complaint" would be that I am unable to fully utilize all of the extras that are part of the offer as many of them are indeed .exe files and I am on a Mac, sot they simply won't work for me.  I still do not feel ripped off. (Though if you could come up with Mac vesions of those, Mike, I'd be mighty grateful!)

Happy For You!!!

AUTHOR: Rich - Conroe (USA)

Well, there's ONE satisfied customer. More like a Mike Shill trying to throw up a smoke screen. Why else bother posting here?

Bottom line is this. You like the product? Fine. Great. I'm happy for you. I got a mass of jumbled, useless files. I asked for for a refund. I got ignored. I STILL haven't gotten that refund. I've consigned myself to the fact that I never will.

Mike says he gave me a refund. If so, where's the PayPal transaction number? I paid with PayPal. That's how I would have gotten a refund. Reverse payment.

The guy doesn't honor his money back guarantee. That's all I ever asked. He blew me off instead.

Google search for Mike and his products tells the tale here.

Want to do business with him? Go for it. You can't say you weren't warned.

Rich
