NOTE: This review is for both Volume 1 and volume 2.

Here is a DVD set that I have been waiting for: Music Theory for the guitarist!

It is presented by an experienced professional teacher, Happy Traum. Please see my other reviews of Homespun and Happy Traum's teaching.

This is another in a long series of guitar instruction via DVD. Like the others, it does not disappoint.

The material is Music Theory, and Traum makes no miscalculation of his audience. His teaching is clear, concise, segment by segment, and is for the beginner, as well as the intermediate. The material is presented in a very structured manner, as he builds his foundation slowly.

The teaching is second to none.

As an intermediate guitarist, I was approached by someone who suggested a course on Music Theory to help expand my understanding of the fretboard; and music in general. This is my answer.

A 2 DVD set, each approximately 80 minutes, broken into segments, will provide months of "private lessons". The instructor moves slowly and methodically, yet his enthusiasm and crisp mind lay challenges for the student as the teaching progresses.

In terms of video, it is excellent. Specifically, there are certain things that make the teaching rewarding:

1. Background. With the presentation, the instructor is light hearted yet serious, the background color is black; no distractions. This is useful especially when much time will be spent learning the material. His voice is melodic and his demeanor like a wise professor. No silly costumes, or 'rock star' silly hats, which only draw attention away from the material presented.

2. Close ups. Homespun has perfected its camera work.

This DVD and the other "Basic Theory" produced by this "instructor" are not worth the money or time they used to produce it. The "instructor" appears uncomfortable and is not easy to follow. Also the "books' are not included, but must be downloaded and printed by the purchaser. (not everyone has a printer!) I am unsure why anyone would give this series a good rating. Happy is very experienced and has a of knowledge it appears, but he does not convey it well to others.
I have purchased the "Play Guitar Now" series that is So much better!

What?? You want MORE theory that is easy to understand and implement in to your guitar playing? Well, make sure you did indeed get volume 1 in this series. Happy Traum is just so very cool, and easy on the ears. Explanations are clear.. and you can now actually understand the WHYs of guitar playing. I teach guitar and like to get a little bit of theory in the the lessons.. and this is a great way to do it... makes people think you are a pro!
