Guitar Superstars was founded by Andy Johnson who claims to be a seasoned guitar player with over two decades of experience and a good guitar teacher. Ben Phillips, Chris Nicholson and Lorenzo Wolff are some of the teachers in Guitar Superstars. Their website says that this course was designed by him to teach guitar in a method that bypasses the traditional method that is time consuming. But I don't know how far it is achievable. Though this course is designed for beginners, intermediate and advanced players alike I personally feel this course would be more easier for those who had been playing for a while.

Cons

From my experience, even the best of the best guitar course cannot teach you guitar in 100 Miles/Hr as it takes hours of practice on a regular basis for years to master this instrument. There is no ready to eat capsule that can transform you to a Satriani or Petrucci overnight. I am slightly skeptical about the 'Lightning Speed Technique'. If you want a slow progression with detailed step-by-step lessons, then I would suggest other comprehensive guitar courses.
The main focus is on Rock N' Roll style of playing, although they cover other genres, but not in-depth. This is where I would recommend JamPlay or Gibson's Learn and Master Guitar
It is very easy to get distracted with so many video lessons, though they have arranged it quite well. Loosing your focus due to a number of instructors is also another disadvantage that I found. But the one-on-one interaction will really help the students to get over the confusion and being overwhelmed.
With a number of tutors, you might find it hard to follow different styles of different tutors at one time. But the 1 on 1 interaction can covers that problem to an extent.
If the student is a complete beginner, then there are chances that he/she can get overwhelmed by the amount of lessons that they need to cover.

Price

Guitar Superstars is sold at $47. They claim that before the Internet days, they were selling their DVD pack for $997 and it was sold out in 2 days. That sounds a bit hyped up though. But anyways after the Internet came into existence, they created a downloadable version of their course that can be accessed as soon as you sign up with them.

Ease of Use

All lessons are video based and can be accessed easily through their member's area.

Customer Support

You will get a one-on-one support from teachers while learning, other support queries are handled via emails.

Warranty

$47 is only a limited time offer. There is no mention about their return policy. It is very unfortunate that they haven't provided a trial period.

Special Offer & Bonus

This course is being offered at $47 USD along with a BONUS (but for a VERY LIMITED PERIOD only)

Conclusion

If you are looking for a more comprehensive and conventional form of guitar course then I would recommend you to check out Learn and Master Guitar also, which is a DVD based guitar course that you can learn it offline.
