I really did not intend to write a review, but when I went to buy this DVD the only user review showing rated it 1 in every box. My experience was much better. I have been playing for a while, and have had lessons from a very good teacher, but the value of a good DVD is much more than you get from even the best lessons. The DVD has a road map that you need to look at a few times to make sense of what you have, but many of the lessons can be practiced with included practice tracks that repea until you get tired or learn how to follow it along. There are 50 short lessons on the DVD,so it can seem like it jumps around a bit, but the layout means you can look at the map and locate a secction you liked. One reviewer complained about Keith Wyatt’s fingering but that is so much bs, people’s hand shapes vary a lot, and what works for someone may be impossible for another, also I use different shapes (as a lot of people do) depending on what comes next, or if I want it to “ring”. Some shapes are fast and dirty. This is a great value in a DVD.

Bill Edwards Publishing Complete Fretboard Logic System Box Set (DVD)

The Bill Edwards Publishing Complete Fretboard Logic System Box Set (DVD) gives you the entire Fretboard Logic guitar system at a special package price. Introduces the guitar’s unique tuning and basic fretboard patterns; builds on this foundation with chords, scales, and arpeggios; and then allows the player to focus on expressing a chosen style.

Includes Fretboard Logic SE and Fretboard Logic III in newly revised editions plus videos I and II in DVD format.

I took guitar lessons as a kid, the hum drummery was too much and I got incredibly bored. In short I just wasn’t making progress and hated playing those folksy kiddie songs like Yellow Rose of whatever. The guitar is NOT a piano and Fretboard Logic explains, in a manner even I understood, why that is so and what the differences are. I learned about this system and recently started playing again - the progress is amazing and I’m playing songs I actually want to play.

Hal Leonard Play Guitar Today Pack (Book/CD)

Includes Level 1 and Level 2 Book/CD and Companion Songbook. This method can be used by students who want to teach themselves, or by teachers for private or group instruction.

The CD includes full band demonstration tracks so you can hear how each song should sound and then play along when you’re ready.

I was looking for an affordable guitar for a long time. Of course, I didn’t want to sacrifice quality which was very difficult to find. I also didn’t want a guitar that was small, as most were to fit the needs of kids. This is a full size guitar and fit all my needs PERFECTLY. It comes with everything you need to get started, and the sound is great which is surprising because of the price. If you’re a beginner, start out with this. It’s going to be hard to find something cheaper with this quality at this price.
