Unforgettable Christmas for One Learn & Master Guitar Customer
Posted by Matt McWilliams in Fun Stuff on January 30th, 2010
We recently got the following email from a Learn & Master Guitar customer. As I say so often, we are truly changing lives. It’s what makes every single day so incredibly awesome.
I just LOVE this!
Steve,
I had an experience this Christmas that I wanted to share with you.
I’ve been playing for almost 2 years now, currently working on Session 13. From the very beginning, I have played for my extended family—even Jingle Bells. Hey, it’s an easy audience!
My wife Kim is a naturally good singer, but she’s a little shy about it, so we generally just sing together on easy sing-alongs and stuff. It’s always fun, and of course the family acts like it’s a big deal, so it makes us feel good, even though we know full well how amateurish we really are.
This year, her parents asked us to perform “Vincent (Starry Starry Night)” by Don McLean for our Christmas get-together. This request turned out to be a bit of a challenge for us, but we were determined to give it our best shot. Kim decided she’d sing solo, so I was able to concentrate on working out a simple, pleasant fingerpicking pattern for the harmony. We rehearsed several times, and eventually got comfortable with it.
The Christmas recital featured 6 songs, both instrumentals (the ones I did for your CD this year) and sing-alongs. We saved “Vincent” for last. Of course, the first 5 songs were met with the kind of response you’d expect from loving family members—enthusiastic appreciation, sweetly disproportionate to any musical merit. But as we closed out “Vincent”, Kim’s mother and our sister-in-law literally jumped out of their seats, clapping and hollering. This wasn’t just the feign of familiarity—Kim’s mother had tears in her eyes she was so moved, and so Kim started crying, and then we all had a good laugh. What a blessing!
Despite the glowing commentary from the devoted on-line community members, I suspect it still may be hard for you to grasp the role you are playing in people’s lives. But there is no question that without the LMG program, the musical element my family is now experiencing (and starting to really enjoy!) would be completely missing. This is the gift that you and the folks at Legacy have bestowed upon all of us. And for that gift, I would like to offer you my sincere thanks.

Too Far Away for Guitar Lessons…
Posted by Matt McWilliams in Fun Stuff, Legacy News on January 23rd, 2010
What a great Christmas gift! Here is an email from one of our recent customers, Michael, about his Christmas gift from his wife.
I’ve been meaning to learn guitar for years and finally got encouraged by a
friend to do so. I live far enough away from town that finding a teacher
and taking regular lessons would be impractical. I found the Learn and
Master Guitar program on-line and my wife bought it for me for Christmas.
As an engineer, I am finding the lessons to be very well-structured and
helpful in building a solid base as I move forward in my education. I
relate the sight reading to learning touch typing decades ago; I figure that
with enough practice and repetition, reading music will become instinctive.
And that’s pretty darned cool.I just now discovered that you have discussion boards, so I plan on visiting
them in the very near future with my questions.So, thank you very much for your product!
Better than Private and Group Lessons!
Posted by Matt McWilliams in Affiliate Encouragement on January 18th, 2010
Why are our Learn & Master courses better than private lessons and group lessons? And what does this mean for you affiliates promoting our courses?
There are a lot of reasons our courses are the best option for many people. Some of them include:
- Cheaper - The average private lesson in America is $50/hour. For less than the cost of three private lessons, you can buy one of our courses. Group lessons vary in price from $10-20 per lesson. Our courses are significantly cheaper than both options.
- Go at your own pace - Need a week off for a business trip? No problem! Have an emergency? No problem! Private lessons usually require a 24 hour notice to cancel a lesson. Not exactly viable when you have to work late or are stuck in traffic or waiting for a flight or have an emergency that day. Miss a group lesson and you miss an entire topic and are now behind and it’s hard to catch up. With our courses, you go at your own page. Pop in the DVDs when you want to. Skip a day, watch them at midnight in your pajamas, or schedule time every single day but pause and rewind as needed.
- Convenience - What can be easier than learning at home? No traveling. No waiting. No packing up your instrument and risking damage. You learn from home…your home.
- No Embarrassment - Let’s face it, most guys don’t want to learn Ballroom Dancing in a group or well…anywhere except for home. Many men and women are easily embarrassed and want to learn in an environment where they can not worry about what others think. Our courses allow you to do just that!
Nicholas, who works at the U.S. Embassy in Belgium, shared his story about beginning Learn & Master Guitar with us recently…it sums up the convenience of our courses and reminded us of four of our great selling points!
Steve, I am a diplomat assigned to the US Embassy in Brussels, Belgium and to say the least I have no regular schedule and much stress as well. I am a beginner guitar player and took some of your tips to heart, especially dedicating practice time and keep my sessions to 15-20 minutes and then put my guitar down and walk away. I enjoy playing through the exercises and will not proceed to the next lesson, until I have completed the previous one to my satisfaction. I think the philosophy of “small bites” and giving time to digest the material is well said. Keep the tips coming and I am enjoying your teaching style and approach.
Take care, Nicholas.
Great Email from a Customer in Zimbabwe
Posted by Matt McWilliams in Fun Stuff, Legacy News on January 16th, 2010
I hope your weekend is going well.
I just LOVE these emails that Steve passes along to me from our customers. This one is from Ron in Zimbabwe. It’s great to have customers all over the world!
Hi Steve
Your professional and caring approach supports the fact that you have produced the best guitar learning experience I have ever seen or used.
I live in Zimbabwe and am a real guitar enthusiast who started playing about 4 years ago. There are very few decent guitar teachers in Zimbabwe so I had to rely on the massive range of both internet and hard copy guitar tutorial programs that are available to learn.
Believe me, I have a study full of books, DVD’s, CD’s and internet material and I had become somewhat lost because I was overwhelmed by the mass of guitar learning material I had accumulated.
I was trying to learn from it all and making little real progress.
Anyway then I learned about Learn and Master Guitar which I now own and wow! What a pleasure. It has had the effect of bringing sanity, control, understanding and direction to my learning.
Thanks a lot!
One Year and Still Learning - Great Customer Testimonial
Posted by Matt McWilliams in Legacy News on January 3rd, 2010
Our Learn and Master Guitar discussion board has a great testimonial recently from a student who is celebrating his 1-year anniversary of starting the course. He is still learning and working his way lessons 15-17. Here is what he had to say:
It is 12 months since I started L&MG. I had a very basic knowledge of Guitar & how to read music. I picked up L&MG at Session 5, which was a realistic assessment of where my skills were.
As encouragement to beginners or members who come in at about same level as I did, to answer the question “Where will I be in 12 months?”
I can confidently perform all the skills taught in L&MG up to about Session 14. I am working on 15, 16 & 17 simultaneously at the moment. I have, and still do, devote a lot of time to practice, but I like all here have fallen in love with Guitar so it is a labour of love to practice.
I dont have a lot of songs in my repotoire because I have concentrated all my time on learning, drilling & practicing the core basic skills. I am now devoting time to learning some songs.I mention this as my L&MG Anniversary looms & to pass the encouragment to those who are just beginning the journey that your results are in direct proportion to the effort you put in. My personal rule is that every day I get the Guitar in my hands regardless of what is happening, even if all the time I have is for a quick 10 minute scale practice.
Skill acquisition is accumulative over time, if you do it then it builds up to a level of proficiency based on skill, dedication & determination to achieve.Where will I be in 12 Months? No Idea? I do know I will still be playing, still practicing & still thank the good lord that every time I take Mr Strat out for a run I am playing the greatest guitar created in the known universe
Thanks Steve.

Oops! We Ran Out of Painting Courses!
Posted by Matt McWilliams in Legacy News on October 13th, 2009
| So just how popular is our Learn & Master Painting course?
Well, last week we RAN OUT of the courses! Take a look at our inventory on the right… We literally ran out of them. This has never happened with a new course before in our company’s history. We have never even come close. Normally we have plenty of courses in stock and order them well in advance. We thought we had done the same with painting. We were very, very wrong. |
 |
Learn & Master Painting is outperforming all of our other courses. It is even doing better than our Learn and Master Guitar course, which has long been the flagship of Legacy Learning Systems.
Compared to our other courses, Learn and Master Painting:
- Has higher conversion rates
- Has higher commissions. The painting course is the first course that has additional products for purchase (the supply kit). The course and supply kit sells for $349.00. That is a HUGE commission! So far, 9.9% of people are buying the package deal.
- Has less competition in PPC and SEO
- Has an overall CPA of less than half of our previous best
How about that for a new course! It has far exceeded even our expectations.
So, while we wait for a new shipment to arrive (don’t worry, we will have more in stock by Friday of this week), I wanted to remind you of our Painting promos and bonuses running on ShareASale.
I extended our promotions that were scheduled to end in September through the end of October, so that just ONE sale of Learn and Master Painting will earn you a 2% lifetime commission increase! Also, the first five affiliates to make ten sales of the painting course will earn a $100 bonus.
As always, all of our promotions and bonuses (such as our 2nd sale $50.00 bonus) are listed on our ShareASale Bonuses Page and updated each month.
If you are not already promoting this great course, you should be. We are here to help you along the way.

A New Lease on Life - Learn and Master Guitar Testimonial
Posted by Matt McWilliams in Fun Stuff, Legacy News on September 26th, 2009
I truly do love getting these emails. Here is a recent story from a customer named Wes that was sent to Steve Krenz, the instructor for Learn and Master Guitar.
As our affiliates, you are responsible for impacting the lives of people like this. Thanks for doing such important work!
I had to retire early because of my health. I admit a period of boredom and self-pity. I was motivated by my old band mates to pick up my guitar after 40 years. About the same time some higher power, call it what you will, directed me to your L&MG course… I had exhaustively searched for a good self-taught course. I can never remember being so excited about such a challenge. My friends, kids (they call me their sixties burn-out, LOL) and even my doctor say I haven’t been the same emotionally and physically. Without sounding overly dramatic, you have literally given me my life back. My 40 year old goals of being a rock/blues star have been replaced by a more demanding one: to be the best I possible can be. How cool is that??
Thank you for my new lease on life.
-Wes
Have a great rest of the weekend!
Pictures from our Blues Guitar Spotlight Course
Posted by Matt McWilliams in Legacy News on September 24th, 2009
| As I previously announced, the next course from Legacy Learning Systems will be the first of the Learn and Master Spotlight Series, Blues Guitar with Steve Krenz.
Today I received some photos from Steve from the last part of the shooting. Part of the course was shot at the Rutledge in Nashville, one of the most famous live music venues in Nashville, with a live band. We still do not have an exact timetable for the release of the course, but I will certainly be updating all of you very soon. We are looking to this! Remember, this is only the FIRST of what will be the Learn and Master Spotlight Series, which will include various other specific topics in the future. |
