Best DVD's and sources for learning guitar

BevvyB · 28th October 2004

I have a friend who wants to improve his guitar playing and suggested the use of tutorial DVD's and suchlike.

Is there any particular company out there who specialize in this kind of stuff and has anyone got any recommendations? Personally I'm clueless about this stuff.

Any pointers in the right direction appreciated.

Cheers

Bev

Bevvy, I'm getting this habit of giving an opinion without answering the question.. but here it goes.

If your friend has the basics down, tell him to take it all from there on his own. that way he will eventually have a style of his own. Most of the best guitarists in the world learned on their own, never even read music (dave gilmour) Just a thought.

Well of course that's what I said

But he asked about DVD's

And I had no clue, because basically I've always done it by ear on the guitar (but have all the keyboard and theory stuff to back it up) which is kind of cheating

Start with an open chord chart... if you can't figure it out get a friend to help with fingering the different open chords.

Just bang on those for a while and go from there.
