At the music center where my grandson, my grand-daughter and I took music lessons, this is the method they teach. Very easy to learn with Hal Leonard series.

I got this DVD along with the Guitar Method book 1. They came in a pack with a price of 25 dollars. They said it was on sale too! WRONG.
This DVD is HORRIBLE. Basically, all you need to know is, do you know how to take care of your guitar? Hold your picks? Basic stuff. You know what? You can find these tips EASILY on internet. What else does the DVD offer? What the book, Guitar Method 1, has. You do not need to watch this DVD at all. It has repeating information that you’d see in books. Why would you spend money on this piece of. . . nothing?
Now you may be thinking, “maybe the DVD shows us how musics are played. ” No. The book gives you everything. You do not need this DVD at start.
For the Guitar Method books, buy the complete set. It is 15 dollars for the complete set while each book of this series is about 10 dollars each. Once you finish the book 1, you’ll want the book 2 and 3 to finish the series of learning sequence.

There isn’t much on this DVD – perhaps its only 40 minutes at most. It’s only 11 very short songs, and a few riffs and licks, less than most guitar books. Also, the poor editing of the DVD makes practicing along with the DVD much, much harder than it needs to be. Do not buy this DVD without the book, or you’ll never be able to practice enough to really learn the songs before you thow your guitar thru your TV. The idea of a DVD to go with a book is genius, and the material and the featured teacher are great, but they need more material, and a better idea of how a student might actually use it.

I recently purchased the Hal Leonard Guitar Method book, packaged with a CD and this DVD. The DVD is good, because there is a brief explanation by Kolb before each song, but a beginner needs to work on the book alone before jumping in to the DVD. The DVD should probably only be sold together with the book. One other catch: the written music that scrolls along the bottom of the screen is sometimes too slow and often doesn’t appear until Kolb begins to play. The viewer needs to see the music to begin the song. I had to get a quick look at the beginning of the song, then rewind before I could play many of the songs. Stll worth while, but get the book also.
