A Good Place To Begin
I've been playing around with my guitar for some time, trying to teach myself how to play the thing since professional lessons are way more than I can afford right now. This little DVD was just what I needed to get me past the chording hurdle. Being able to play along with someone else is a big help. I would recommend this DVD as a good beginning to teaching yourself how to play.

Good lessons.
Still can't play the guitar. Maybe I should turn off my PC and go practice. That is the missing key to learn the guitar. This is a good helper.

very ,very basic instructional dvd
Good, but extremely basic instructions. Rather short dvd. This is only for someone who is an absolute beginner with no prior experience. Anyone else would say "where's the beef?" Save your money and buy the book, it is much better than the dvd.

guitar lessons
I think the dvd was very helpful, informative, and overall a pretty broad but simple guide to getting starting. One thing they left out that might have also helped me was a brief demo of changing or replacing your strings.

Johnny's no Dummy, but this book helped him!
At the same time I bought my grandson a guitar from Amazon for his birthday, I decided to buy this video so he could learn the basics.

Not saying my grandson Johnny is a dummy--far from it!--all the title means to me is that it contains simple instructions to help beginners learn to play the quitar quicker.

With its easy-to-follow format, watching the instructor and following along, Johnny began picking and strumming in no time, and now he's a regular little Kenny Chessney. :)

A good investment.
