This dvd doesn't seem to be for beginners. The teacher talks to you like you already have knowledge of music which makes it difficult to understand. I have been playing a year now and have used the rockhouse method dvds which by far are better for learning starting with no knowledge of guitar. Rockhouse method DVDs are a better buy in my opinion.

Good for Beginners

This DVD is good for a beginner, however it does move a little fast when learning the chords. You need to rewind it a few times so you can get your finger placing right on some of the triads, because Wyatt doesn't give you a lot of time for positioning. Otherwise, it is very useful for anyone who wants to learn how to play the electic guitar.

Very Good Instructional Video

I just recently purchased this dvd a couple weeks ago and also bought my first electric recently. I had been trying to teach myself with an acoustic and then finally with the new electric so had a little knowledge before and would recommend spending a little time on your own first but it is not really necessary. This a great dvd. Wyatt breaks down many techniques and styles of playing and lets you learn to build your own pace in an extremely uncomplicated way. Numerous extras thrown in too that are nice for beginners. Excellent video and great buy. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed!

This DVD is a really great guide on how to get started and where to start on the electric guitar. The only thing I would suggest is that you have a little common knowledge of the guitar before you use it...it helps. In my experience, this is a VERY good way to get started on your electric guitar.

This DVD Got Me Started

I bought this DVD last year-and it taught me a lot. In only minutes, I was playing three or four chords and making simple songs from them. The lessons do tend to jump around somewhat, but if you take your time and learn the lessons in order, you will be playing in no time. I especially liked the tour of the Fender plant in Corona,Ca. Keith Wyatt also shows how to take care of your guitar and change the strings properly.Another interesting part is where he demonstrates distortion and a few pedal effects. Overall, I think this is a great DVD to start guitar with. There are a lot of different pages and chapters to explore at your own pace, without a teacher breathing down your neck. The practice tracks are really effective for learning the different chords and how to put them together. Highly recommended.
