Description:
By far the most comprehensive DVD ever offered for the beginner guitarist---well over 3 hours long! Over 50 Interactive Lessons!
Step-by-step lessons incorporating clear, easy-to-follow 3-D graphics and unique play-along tracks teach the viewer the essential chords, scales, and techniques used by acoustic guitar players in every popular style, including rock, blues and country. This DVD is separated into two major sections:
1)The First Step: tuning up · string names · essential chords and scales used by all players · music reference section (notes, rhythms, chords and scales) · practice tips · fretting-hand technique · picking-hand technique · backing tracks for play-along · animated 3-D fretboard graphics.
2)Play Acoustic!: rhythm technique (bare finger/thumb, bass/chord, fingerstyle, etc.) · soloing technique (chord embellishment, open-string chords, using a capo) · electrified acoustic · rock, blues and country styles · rhythm and solo technique in each style · backing tracks in each style for play-along · tips on caring for your instrument from the Fender Custom Shop.
Special DVD Features include: Bonus footage, including a Fender Factory Tour! Also: Web links, including a web site specifically designed for beginning guitarists · Multi-language feature so you can hear the DVD in English, Spanish, German, French, or Japanese.

This is a good starting point for an adult beginner which I am, tried to learn as a teenager but had little or no staying power then. The only problem with the DVD is I find it difficult to navigate through the thing which is frustrating and confusing. Have only gone through the Power chords, ADE triads and G and C triads and some of the practice tracks. The instructor is very good at explaining how to do things though he does go sort of fast but then maybe I am slow...

Aside the DVD I gave the product 4 stars ... Read More

I got my first guitar twenty-eight years ago, but I only learned a few chords and eventually put it down to play the drums. Now I'm back to the guitar trying to learn how to really play, and this DVD has helped quite a bit.
I've read some complaints in these reviews that he is playing an electric guitar instead of an acoustic. It states right ... Read More

I have never picked up a guitar before getting this DVD. After 2 weeks, I can find some of the major chords and keep up with the first lessons. So far, I have been pleased, but with some sore finger tips.

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 ... Read More
