5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for beginers

I used to take guitar lessons when I was about 15 years old. Learned some basic cords and could play a few songs. I had not picked up the guitar in many years. My 12 year old Daughter decided to learn to play the guitar so I got my old guitars out and started playing again. I ordered this DVD Learning Guitar for Dummies, by Jon Chappell and found it to be an excellent first lesson for the beginner guitar player. Not only did I learn some thing's I did not know but my daughter sat through the whole DVD with her guitar. Jon has a great way of explaining things slowly and easily. I would recommend this DVD for any beginner guitar player. Even if you know nothing about the guitar, you will by the end of this DVD. I had also ordered another Guitar learning DVD and found it to be not nearly as good as this one. Two Thumbs up to this DVD! The only thing I was disappointed about was I could not find any other DVD's put out by Jon Chappell.

5.0 out of 5 stars Baby Steps... In the right direction
Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2003

This was the first DVD I ever bought on the subject. I ordered I even before I bought my first guitar, so I was a real beginner.
The pace is very slow, but as a beginner, I liked it that way. It helped me to feel like I had the potential to keep up. This was very important to me so that I wouldn't give up.
Some may feel the pace of this DVD is too slow, but if you are interested in starting slowly... this may be just the right pace for you.
Eventually, I started collecting Guitar DVDs and I now have over 20, but this was the one that held my interest long enough to make it past the training wheel stages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the beginner
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2006

At my request, my wife bought me a guitar about a year ago. It sat, collecting dust, until I finally had a little time to spend with it. What I needed was a very basic DVD that would show a beginner (like me) the ins and outs of playing a guitar. I think that is exactly what this DVD does. It is probably the equivalent to 4 or 5 lessons for beginners. You learn a little bit about the different types of guitars, the parts of a guitar, some chords a little about strumming and you even practice a couple songs. The DVD seems like you are being instructed by your high school band teacher so it doesn't have the cool factor of watching an aging rocker with over processed hair. That is just fine with me. It is clear that a lot of thought went into the selections of the songs and lessons so as to cover a lot of the beginner's basics. Yes, Mr. C can't sing, but who cares, the DVD isn't singing for dummies. I think that the DVD is great for someone like me who wants to get a little familiar with a guitar, but doesn't have the time to go out to weekly lesion. The DVD is a first step, it is not intended for someone who is already an accomplished player.

I don't know if it was him or me. Could be my lack of dedication. I'm not sure this is something you can learn by watching a dvd.

Si sabes algo de inglés y eres verdaderamente un principiante ¡Este DVD es para ti! Te muestra paso a paso el rasgeo y los acordes, el arpegio, etc. Y empiezas a tocar una melodía básica desde los primeros minutos. Con un poco más de práctica estarás tocando "La casa del sol naciente". Así de fácil. Tan sólo dedícale unos minutos diarios a practicar. Es un curso básico pero indispensable para un principiante, además Jon lo hace muy ameno. Me gustaría que hubiera otro curso igual para intermedios y para avanzados.

Definitivamente debes tenerlo.

Unless you know absolutely nothing about the guitar and do not have internet access to view a music video of someone playing a guitar, do not buy this. Fingernails on a blackboard.

This DVD does an amazing job of understanding the pace of a beginner. The presenter has balanced very well the task of teaching the basics and at the same time teaching how to play simple songs. It gave me the visible rewards that were necesary to keep me continuosly motivated to learn more. I totally recommend this DVD to every beginner.
