Good Program - Encourages Beginners

Hi. I got this dvd for Christmas with my Ibanez acoustic guitar. He introduces the guitar in very easy steps and tries to teach the correct way to play before bad habits can be learned. I was not bored with this dvd and am looking forward to getting better (with a lot more practice).

Bert Casey's DVD starts off with simple things (as previous reviewer noted, three chords). However, it goes way beyond that by the end. The lessons build slowly and progressively in order to avoid beginner frustration/burnout. If you are diligent and practice every night for 15 to 30 minutes, you will be playing quite well within six months -- hey, there is no "miracle method" to get you playing acoustic guitar in three weeks. It takes work, but Bert Casey's method eventually pays off.
Note: This DVD focuses on bluegrass and flatpicking styles of guitar. Also note: There is a companion book that you should check out if you are serious about learning how to play guitar.
Didn't Like It

When i bought this i thought "cool a dvd that will help me play the guitar" but.......... It didn't. In the dvd it teaches you 3 chords. I think this is a total waste of money. Sure. It may teach you to tune the guitar or how to hold it or the picking technique. But if your looking for a dvd that will ACTUALLY help you play better, look for something else. you know what they say... You get what You pay for. So spend a little more and get something else a little better.
