5.0 out of 5 stars A good Start, November 12, 2006
The greatest thing about this dvd is that the teacher, teaches you how to play modern styles. I haven't checked out many beginner acoustic dvds, but i have looked threw many beginner guitar books. I think these modern ideas are much better than playing "Mary Had A Little Lamb" and "Old Mc Donald". With added booklet and online refrences you can advance more. Although you may want to get a few others books a dvd is important too I think. Well worth the money!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best DVD so far, July 13, 2006
The DVD is beyond my expectations. Really excellent for beginning Acoustic guitars (From Scratch that is)

The instructor is very impressive and cool. One day I'll be better than him... I hope so

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty cool way to learn guitar

Although I just started playing (about 6 months ago ), this was (is) very helpfull. What you see on the Dvd is also in the booklet. I suggest to start with this one.
