- Easy to follow
I was self teaching myself with books and with Internet assistance via guitar learning sites.I made some progress and then I came across the DVD online and read the positive reviews.I ordered it and I am happy I did.Keith Wyatt makes learning fun, I find myself learning the notes on the neck, getting started with finger picking and the play alongs are very helpful for your timing and rhythm.For me the DVD is well worth it.

I purchased this title for the Opening Day Collection for our new library. A patron had requested more DVDs about learning to play guitar. This one has been checked out several times.

- too fast
For someone who has just picked up the guitar, this was way too fast to get any real instructions.It had a great overview about playing but didn't really teach the basics.Not really for first timers.

- Guitar DVD
I Don't even have a guitar yet and just bought the DVD to see it I could maybe learn it. The video goes pretty fast but is good. I think I will have to have personal instruction instead.
Good Luck
