5.0 out of 5 stars Kids Guitar 1 is awesome!, January 18, 2005

This review is from: Kids Guitar 1 (DVD)

Marcy Marxer is an excellent instuctor! She begins with teaching the child about the different sizes and types of guitars available. She moves on to explaining how to tune the guitar and goes through each chord with the child so they are able to tune. She involves the children in chord exercises and uses simple, well known children's songs in the lessons. I highly recommend this tape. My 9 year old has learned so much from this tape.

5.0 out of 5 stars We're impressed!, June 11, 2008

This review is from: Kids Guitar 1 (DVD)

We are very impressed with Vol. I of Kid's Guitar, by Homespun Tapes. Mary Marxer is upbeat, cheery, and easy to track with. The set is colorful, and she goes slowly enough that the children can 'get it' but not too slowly. We will definitely be ordering Vol. 2 when we're finished learning all there is to master in this first DVD. Highy recommended for beginners, or those who need a refresher course!

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Kids Guitar 1 (DVD)

I bought this as a gift for my 10 y/o daughter who really wants to learn how to play guitar. I was extremely disappointed. The exercises were difficult for beginners and the video is extremely annoying. The music is dated and the over all quality wasn't great. Low budget and not very effective.
