This DVD was designed for the beginning or intermediate rock(or any other style) guitarist in mind. I was tired of seeing guitar instructional dvd's of some incredibly fast guitar player blow though all of his licks and didn't really explain how to play the guitar. So I decided to put together a dvd that covers all the basics of what you need to know to be a good solid guitar player. Buying this dvd is like getting 6 months to 1 year's worth of guitar lessons. It's something you will be able to come back to time and time again to work on different aspects of your playing. Running time 110 minutes. This DVD is professionally manufactured and is guaranteed to play on any DVD player.

Learn with a Berklee College of Music graduate and someone who's been teaching private guitar instruction and performing for more than 10 years.

Material on this dvd:

• tuning your guitar
• notes on the guitar
• power chords
• open string chords, with chord chart
• bar chords, with chord chart
• octaves
• major scales, all 5 positions
• major pentatonic scales, all 5 positions

"Please do email me when you do those next DVDs. I will buy them right away. If you make them with the quality that you made this one with you will have a very good business on your hands. The practice tips, 20 riffs, and improv section are really great. The quality of the music and menus are outstanding. I really think you are making great DVDs. I have picked up lots of guitar over the years but having it all come together like this is really great. I am making a conscious effort to fill in the gaps in my playing and I am pleasantly surprised at how many things I picked up with your instruction". Once again thanks! -Jamie
