This beginner guitar lesson DVD is a step-by-step approach is so simple that even an absolute beginner will find that it is easy to follow. You begin by learning seven simple chords that can be played with only one finger. There are additional files included for those who have a computer with a DVD drive. These files include a printable form of tablature, animated play along tab, and a complete chapter list. In addition there’s access to his web site from which you can acquire many contemporary rock favorites Suggested RRP for the Manual & DVD is just $69. As Nigel correctly states on his web site, “If you can’t learn guitar here you are just not paying attention”.
You will be provided with a software DVD each month with four individual lessons in video, audio, theory and tablature. Each video is like having a private lesson with Alan as he talks to you individually throughout the lesson and provides you with bar by bar breakdown of each lesson in detail you will also have the tablature/music score to follow along to. And the DVDs are the best we’ve seen on any program. Consisting of 20 fully produced DVDs , 5 Jam-Along CDs , a 108 page lesson Book , and a wealth of web-based supplemental materials. Gerardo Nunez is a phenomenal guitarist and the lessons included are worth the sticker shock price of $100+ but the lessons alone are not what make this DVD. What is amazing is Gerardos explanation toward his practice routines and techniques as ultimately Gerardo Nunez explains that once fundamentals are understood and mastered practicing can be any sequence of notes that ultimately leads to the creation of new Falsetas.
Click the Practice Button and up pops a small window with 2 buttons- Play and Rewind. Click the Play button and you’ll hear a short count-in followed by the background music for the lesson. Practice both ways to get the feel of each. The mirror shape uses the barre with first finger all the way across the fretboard. Tuning the guitar to itself is quick, and is fine for playing alone, as will typically be the case when practicing. You merely need to hold the sixth string at the 5th fret, and tune the fifth string to the same sound as the held sixth string.
If you intend to make a career out of or grow as a guitarist, practice is essential. You have heard the saying practice makes perfect. Each lesson also ends with some practice music, which I found to come in very handy. As the lessons develop, so does your guitar playing chops.
