Very good learning toolReviewed by Rychefan, 2008-05-28
I bought this recently and watched the whole thing. I think all
begining guitarists (and some more experienced too!) should know a
little something besides just picking up a guitar and learning to
play cover songs. This DVD has it all. The instructor is solid. He
goes over everything nice and slowly so you have time to ingest and
comprehend it all. He does everything very methodically so you're
not learning by skipping from one thing to another, then back
again, like some other DVD's I've watched. (It may seem repetetive
but you can always skip to the next part - there is a lot to learn
and memorize afterall!)
For the guitarist (new and old) who want to learn what the
intrument is all about this is a perfect tool. You'll be able to
understand where soloing comes from, how chords are formed (not
just what chord is what so you can play songs) and the techniques
of finding things on the fretboard.
So far, I have learned that the more knowledge you have on guitar
THEORY, the better a guitarist you'll become!
Totally worth the cheap price.
just the basics, thanksReviewed by Howard L Lambert, 2007-07-23
The fact is that, unless you're a punk rocker (3 chord rock), one
cannot arrange varied/weaving (interesting) music without basic
music theory knowledge. One must understand what the "major scale"
is, how it relates to chords and, ultimately, "modulating" to chord
progressions in different keys. Without this knowledge, music is a
dead-end street.
I've tried other theory learning materials and all of them were
confusing by iether a lack of restraint and/or organization. Guitar
Theory Basics is just that: the basics...taught in a simple, linear
fashion that works. Even I, with a doctor diagnosed case of ADD,
absorbed all the information on this disk.
It has on-screen tablature, so there no need to fetch en extra
booklet and being able to read music notation isn't necessary. Just
pop the DVD in and learn.
