Guitar Lesson DVD – Learn and Master Guitar

The Learn & Master Guitar home training course includes 20 DVDs, five jam along CDs, a 100+ page workbook and a free online student support website. It covers everything from the very basics through the most advanced techniques, step by step, start to finish.

The program begins by covering the basic chords required to play many popular songs. Advanced chords such as barre chords, two chords, major 7th and minor 11th chords, are all included. You'll learn a few chords at a time and apply what you learn by playing songs and learning style techniques. Each lesson will build on previous ones. Discover quick and easy ways to learn the entire fretboard, strumming techniques, reading music and tab, ear training, chord creation, and more.

It's clear and concise, like having your very own guitar instructor in the room with you. The course is thorough and well planned out. Nothing is taken for granted. The first lessons provide a solid musical foundation which is steadily built on. More advanced students may be tempted to skip ahead, but may soon head back to develop a stable foundation.

Jam-Along CDs
These CDs allow you to practice your songs with an actual band, recordings that were made with professional musicians in a real studio and designed to help you make beautiful. They help you make playing for your friends and family a whole lot more impressive.

The tracks are mixed in such a way that you can turn down the volume of the recorded guitar part simply by adjusting the balance on your stereo. This allows you to solo with the band as accompaniment, an excellent way to improve. The tracks also play at different speeds (slow, medium, and fast) so that you can gradually pick up your pace as you improve.
