Review(s): DVD Ultimate Beginner Series - Acoustic Guitar Basics
Great Introduction
This DVD is much better than the video that came with my Yamaha guitar and it contains all the information a beginner needs to know to get started playing: parts of the guitar, tuning, basic guitar maintenance, how to interpret tablature, popular chords, strumming, fingerpicking, and more advanced stuff like hammer-ons and pull-offs. You'll be playing basic chords in a matter of minutes, and after learning a few you'll follow along while a progression is played on-screen. This part is difficult and will take a bit of practice. In the end you'll have a good foundation for continuing with more advanced instruction.

I decided to "try" guitar, and of course found the "guitar for dummies" DVD. The narrator covers the basics, and has you playing a sond within minutes. "Fara jaqua" isn't the coolest song, but it's something. The chords are displayed on the screen, and he goes slow enough to follow. This really is a good beginners guide to guitar.....Good luck and enjoy!

I bought this because others commented about how easily they could follow Dan. Not true! His lessons were way too fast and on top of that, he has an annoying personality. If you're a true beginner, this cd is NOT for you. More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 05 November 2002 Usually ships in 13 to 14 days

I bought this in order to supplement the method books I am currently studying. Its much more informative than the "Dummies" dvd and you will learn more. My only complaint is when using it to do chapter searches(get to a specific point) it is very confusing. It also would be better with a supplemental book that contains the songs you learn. Still buy it you will be glad you did.I would also recommend Hal Leonards Method books as well. Enjoy!!!! More Info about this DVD DVD Release Date: Released the 01 November 2000 Special Order
