This video is the bomb! It goes over EVERYTHING one needs to know about playing the electric guitar, starting from the very basic to actual riff playing. It is awsome! The important stuff however, is too mixed in with the riff teaching. You have to do a lot of rewinding, fast forwarding and note taking of the time that each section occures. But it really wouldn't be fair if I rated this video based on its VHS format. This really needs to be on DVD!

This video is just what the doctor ordered to make beginning guitarists even more excited about learning guitar, even acoustic players. Not only does he cover the basics such as tuning and playing styles, amp effects, explaining the components of the guitar, but he also teaches you so much about chords, finding notes on the fretboard, and intersperses some cool riffs that we all recognize, note for note with ONSCREEN TAB, which so many other instructional videos sadly fail to provide. I myself and not a beginner, but I watched this with a youngster in the family whom I bought it for. Lidel's approach is perfect for any one who is just learning. He clearly recognizes the audience this was intended for without being disrespectful or condecsending. Fun and instructive at the same time - you can't beat that!

If you're new to the guitar and want to play some tunes - this is the video of you. Paul does a great job throwing out some basic instruction mixed with some cool riffs. You won't be disapointed.

Teach you some of the most important rock rift of all time show you to play the most rock popular power chord, how to tune your guitar, tricks and much more, you are a newbie and want to play tunes this is your video!
