There's almost nothing not to like about this DVD. It probably would not go over well with a real beginner. To really get in to this DVD you kind of need to have the pentatonics drilled in to you sonically so you can pick up the notes by ear in one or two passes. It helps immensely if you've already started scale based improvisation and know the I-IV-V song structure by feel. That's kind of true of almost all "blues" DVDs though outside of the very beginner variety, and is not a shortcoming of the DVD. It had always been hard for me to look at the tab while following the DVD anyway. If you're just building your foundation, this would not be a good choice. An intro book, I think, would be better (I like the Musicians Institute series of books). I think this DVD targets "intermediates".

Without TAB's or fingerboard diagrams of the demonstrated material it is very difficult for a beginner to pick up the licks and techniques. The close up of the hands does not adequately define the strings being fretted nor the strings being picked. All in all it is probably pretty good for someone who can pick up these things from watching a guitarist in concert.

The Guitar World DVD's are a great way to study the guitar. I have a degree in music performance (percussion), and have taken to the guitar recently. These lessons are a great way to study to style, with a teacher who is very solid. Andy saves me from wandering from teacher to teacher, and these are very cost effective ways to get the information.
