3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Introduction, August 16, 2001

This review is from: Introduction to Acoustic Guitar [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Overall, a decent introduction to playing acoustic guitar. It begins with essential basics, like how to hold the guitar and the pick and how to strum. It then proceeds to show the basic chords and then then the instructor plays and signs the songs (bluegrass standards most of which I'd never heard of:).

The entire videotape has a an on-screen timer counter running, handy for reviewing sections later, and there's a companion book which is useful. Its a bit short at 1 hour, I wish it proceeded to show other styles of picking, but for around $10, its a decent introduction for the complete beginner.

I bought this for my nephew. He wanted to learn how to play the guitar. He didn't stick with it, but the information is easy to understand and follow.
