This video is a basic introduction to playing an electric guitar. The beginning is very basic with a description of the guitar parts and the names of the strings etc. Then it moves on to show you how to set your amp up to get the overdriven "Rock Sound", and how to tune the guitar. In the last part of the tape Scott Graves demonstrates some exercises to get you use to moving up and down the fretboard.

If you haven't had any lessons yet, this video might be beneficial. If you have already had a couple of lessons, you might want to skip this tape and get the second in the series. Scott Graves also mentions a workbook in the video, but it does not come with the video and has to be order separately.

If you've ever had the desire to play sizzling rock guitar leads and super power chords, then this video is the place to start. Features topics: the right equipment for getting the Rock sound, setting your amp, practice advice, basic musical concepts, learning the fretboard, tuning instructions & tuning sources, left & right hand positions, dexterity & picking exercises, chromatic exercises with variations on picking technique. 60 minutes.

In a nutshell...THE BEST. PERIOD... GOD FORBID even I can play this hear geetaaarrr..... yee-haa.... Thanks a million and then some Scott... A no B.S. tape written and directed by a musician and not a lawyer or some other hideous lifeform... Best Video and a COOL DUDE...

All The Best To Backstage pass.
