What really annoys me is that for what he is charging for those things he could, if he really wanted kids to "experience the gift of music", provide a really nice beginner guitar. If you can convince people to lay out $200 on the sayso of some glorified lounge player with spurious connections to a classical guitar legend then you could use that influence to actually provide a worthwhile product and still make a nice living at the same time.
I don't admire him for being good at marketing. I detest the fact that he, and people like him, give marketing a bad name.
