I connected with this video and its laid-back host from the moment I heard the opening bars of the tune he plays for the menu page. (“Bars” is a term he helpfully explains early on for the benefit of those whose knowledge of music is sketchy. )That was EXACTLY the way I wanted to play the guitar! – as opposed to how I’ve played ever since my college days during the heyday of the ’60s folk/blues revival, i. e. , artlessly banging on strings while holding down various cords, hopefully one at time. My knowledge of a few basic cords did give me a bit of a leg up; nevertheless I decided to follow every step of his curriculum so as not to miss anything, and sure enough I usually found at a minimum something new to me or a better way of doing something, like a different way of holding down “G”, or subtle hints about holding the pick. Hamburger’s easy lesson plans strike me as something a total beginner would be able to easily follow. It’s fun playing along with him and generally enjoying his company, even if only virtually. I haven’t even finished it yet, and already it’s revolutionized my playing.

I like this dvd a lot. It is like your best friend coming to your house to teach you how to play a guitar. It starts easy and build up. Dave has great sense of humor and tell jokes with a stone face. And Bluegrass is not even my type of music. Great job, Dave! Thanks and I am looking foreword for your next DVDs that teach Beatles, Rolling Stones and stuff like that songs. . .

Love the approach of the instructor casual without trying to be a jokester able to weave stories and background into the lessons seamlessly.
He starts off easy and works in more material bit by bit. Typical approach early on in the lessons is to learn a new chord and a new strumming pattern at a time with a new song each time.
The minimal black background works with the soothing and comforting teaching voice and style of David Hamburger. The bonus or the warning depending on your musical tastes is that he takes a roots music approach to learning the guitar light on the deep theory but instead directed at learning traditional Americana style music.
But despite this I really wish I could give it 4. 5 stars.
The only negative thing I can say about this product is the booklet that comes with the lessons is great but its a fold almost newspaper stapled booklet. A proper bound booklet would be much preferred.
I am really enjoying these lessons and look forward every chance I get to review them.
