DVD Reviews of Fender Presents: Getting Started on Acoustic Guitar -- A Guide for Beginners
DVD Review: Well worth the price!
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is fantastic! It's worth the price just for the looped backing tracks for practice. I like how I can practice major, minor, power or seventh chords over the backing tracks. It makes practicing chord transitions fun---like actually playing something---instead of a grind.
The teacher is first-rate. Yes, as previously noted, he's playing an electric guitar. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO THE LESSON. He injects just enough music theory quickly and concisely while showing the viewer where to put his/her fingers. Though I already knew most of the chords, I learned some preferable finger positioning for faster transitions. I've only done half of the lessons so far, but it has already been worth my money.
Some background might be helpful in your decision to purchase this DVD: I'm a beginning player, and I've only had my guitar for a month. I have a musical background, so I feel like I'm picking it up pretty quickly. I know about 50 chords and can play quite a few songs . . . rhythm, for the most part! I feel like this DVD would have helped me from day one, but I couldn't have breezed through the first several lessons as an absolute beginner.
I hope this review helps you decide if this DVD is right for you. Happy practicing!
DVD Review: Excellent
Summary: 5 Stars
I picked up the guitar about 6 months ago. I found this video in the local used book store and have found it very useful. Keith Wyatt, the instructor, is very good. He has a way of explaining how and what to do that is very effective without being condescending in any way. None of the tunes that you learn are recognizable, but they are very fun to play and they sound very good. HIGHLY RECCOMENDED.DVD Review: Well made
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is easy to follow and has great steps for learning beginning guitar.- ProfessionalDVD Review: Guitar Lesson Video
Summary: 4 Stars
The video seems very complicated but maybe I am just to new at the guitar.DVD Review: Good tips, but why are the lessons not taught with an acoustic guitar?
Summary: 3 Stars
I liked the verbal sincerety and clarity of the instructor. His teaching style and playing command are inspiring, and for this I would give him 5 stars. I did get good tips from him that I now have to just practice as much as possible. The fact that the instructor taught his lessons with a Fender electric guitar throughout the DVD was a big turn off for me and unfortunately weighs quite a bit on my overall rating. I wish the DVD cover would not mislead customers, and I wisk that other reviewers had commented on this, as it would have changed my decision to purchase this DVD.
