 Well made September 18, 2008
This DVD is easy to follow and has great steps for learning beginning guitar.- Professional
 Guitar Lesson Video September 9, 2008
The video seems very complicated but maybe I am just to new at the guitar.
 Good tips, but why are the lessons not taught with an acoustic guitar? June 20, 2008
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I liked the verbal sincerety and clarity of the instructor. His teaching style and playing command are inspiring, and for this I would give him 5 stars. I did get good tips from him that I now have to just practice as much as possible. The fact that the instructor taught his lessons with a Fender electric guitar throughout the DVD was a big turn off for me and unfortunately weighs quite a bit on my overall rating. I wish the DVD cover would not mislead customers, and I wisk that other reviewers had commented on this, as it would have changed my decision to purchase this DVD.
Excellent Teacher, well done video May 2, 2008
I based my purchase on the reviews of some of the other buyers, and since I agree with them in substance, I'll be brief. Keith Wyatt (the instructor) is indeed clear, well spoken, and precise in both his technical descriptions and his suggestions for application of the skills he discusses. However, the other reviews don't mention that he's just a likeable guy. He's sincere and approachable, without being nerdy or sappy.
He comes across as someone who's played more than his share of concerts, who's sat in countless studios, and who has never stopped learning his craft for even a single day. He's just a cool dude.
Great DVD April 17, 2008
Outstanding DVD! Looped tracks allow plenty of solid practice time and the instruction is spot on. Can't miss.
