The video has good camera work and good sound. The songs covered are basic but it is a beginning video. Steve is a good instructor. The printed materials that come with the video (stuffed in DVD case) are somewhat weak. I had to expand them on a copier so I could read them. The actual notation is just fine. I would recommend this video to a friend.

This is everything a bluegrass guitar lesson aught to be. The pace is good, the explanations are clear and easy to follow, and there is a good amount of material covered.

If you are new to guitar or just new to bluegrass and want to get the basics, this is a great place to start. If you are experienced bluegrass picker, it may be a little too basic. It does start off with tuning and basic chords, but progresses quickly to walking base and various lead-ins and transitions.

This DVD is a good introduction to basic Bluegrass rhythm guitar. I do wish it was longer.

Steve is a great guy to get lessons from. He explains things really well. On occasion it goes a little fast for my ability and he assumes you know basic things about the guitar.
