Guitar Lesson Video [Posted on 2008-09-09]
The video seems very complicated but maybe I am just to new at the guitar.
Well made [Posted on 2008-09-18]
This DVD is easy to follow and has great steps for learning beginning guitar.- Professional
Excellent [Posted on 2008-10-13]
I picked up the guitar about 6 months ago. I found this video in the local used book store and have found it very useful. Keith Wyatt, the instructor, is very good. He has a way of explaining how and what to do that is very effective without being condescending in any way. None of the tunes that you learn are recognizable, but they are very fun to play and they sound very good. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED.
Well worth the price! [Posted on 2008-10-18]
This DVD is fantastic! It's worth the price just for the looped backing tracks for practice. I like how I can practice major, minor, power or seventh chords over the backing tracks. It makes practicing chord transitions fun---like actually playing something---instead of a grind.
The teacher is first-rate. Yes, as previously noted, he's playing an electric guitar. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO THE LESSON. He injects just enough music theory quickly and concisely while showing the viewer where to put his/her fingers. Though I already knew most of the chords, I learned some preferable finger positioning for faster transitions. I've only done half of the lessons so far, but it has already been worth my money.
Some background might be helpful in your decision to purchase this DVD: I'm a beginning player, and I've only had my guitar for a month. I have a musical background, so I feel like I'm picking it up pretty quickly. I know about 50 chords and can play quite a few songs . . . rhythm, for the most part! I feel like this DVD would have helped me from day one, but I couldn't have breezed through the first several lessons as an absolute beginner.
I hope this review helps you decide if this DVD is right for you. Happy practicing!
The best dvd for beginners and for review [Posted on 2008-11-19]
I originally bought this for my girlfriend who couldn't strum a single note, but always wanted to learn. She is coming along great after only a few times watching the first lesson and can already strum the first 3 chords--E,D,A. The teacher really takes his time and walks the student through the biggining classes at a nice slow pace. I have also sat down and popped it in a few times and there is some great accoustic stuff that i never bothered to learn--like some acoustic soloing lines and different bass lines while playing chords. I have watched several guitar dvd's over the years and this is by far the best one that i've ever seen.
One thing I'd like to clear up from a previous person's review; it is true that he doesn't use an acoustic guitar for the first lessons, but it is because he is teaching things that apply to electric or acoustic. When you get the basics down he moves onto techniques specifically for acoustics and does show them on an acoustic guitar.
