DVD Reviews of Fender Presents: Getting Started on Acoustic Guitar -- A Guide for Beginners

DVD Review: Michael G
Summary: 4 Stars

The product description about the lessons is right on for me. I'm happy with them but one needs to practice. Lessons are just one part of playing a guitar. Keith did a good job in each section.

DVD Review: Best Bang for your Buck
Summary: 4 Stars

Keith Wyatt's DVD IS the best bang for the buck. I have Learn and Master Guitar, a $200. 18 DVD,s and as many CD,s lesson set and wish Learn and Master would have had Mr.Wyatt teaching it. For the beginner you are playing music immediately and isn't that what the vast majority of us want. For about $20. you get around 50 lessons vs. paying an
instructor $20. to $30. per lesson x 50=$1,250. The only negative I have is the rather confusing menu system. But, still worth the bucks.

DVD Review: Outstanding
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is a "MUST HAVE" for the beginner guitar player. I have reviewed many other books with CD and this is by far the very best. It explains and gives examples in easy to understand language. It makes learning fun and fast.

DVD Review: Good begginer's video.
Summary: 4 Stars

I got a truncated copy of this DVD free with a guitar I bought.
It was pretty good, so I went for the full version at Amazon.

There is a lot varied ground covered concerning picking styles, and various methods of playing that are useful to learn.
Much of it goes by too quickly to take in in one viewing, expecially if you are trying to play along.
Since it's a DVD you can repeat as much as is necessary.

I have not seen any other videos of this sort, but I thought the range of information was good.
I thought the DVD navigation was lacking in that repeating a chapter could have been made easier.

DVD Review: Good instructional DVD
Summary: 5 Stars

Takes you from the basics and explains a lot.

However, one must realize that the learning comes from the DOING.

Just watching this is not enough. You will not realize the benefits from this DVD until you have worked through the lessons.
