Product description

The very first guitar lessons a new player takes are the most important lessons they will ever have. In those first attempts to get a sound out of the guitar, many things can happen; you may form good or bad habits, experience success or frustration, and this will influence your overall motivation to play the instrument!



For exactly this reason, it is important to take your first steps along with a capable, experienced instructor. Guitarist, recording engineer/producer, and teacher Joe Dochtermann provides exactly what the budding guitarist needs in this 3 Hour long instructional DVD.



Dochtermann not only covers the techniques you require as a beginner, but also explains many of the building blocks of music in a way that makes sense immediately, even to inexperienced students.



Topic include:



- The important basic chord forms (which every guitarist uses on a daily basis!),



- Barre chords,



- Understanding rhythm & strum patterns,



- How to use a capo (and easily change keys to accompany others),



- Practicing rhythms using 1/4, 1/8th, & 1/16th notes,



- Swing & shuffle rhythmic feels,



- I, IV, V progressions in many keys, and their significance,



- The "Nashville Numbers System" concept for quickly & easily creating guitar accompaniment,



and a variety of additional tips and techniques to get you off on the right foot.



Dochtermann's teaching style is relaxed and almost conversational, stays focused on each new topic, and encourages you to play along, briefly repeating the practice figure so you can play along with the DVD.



Despite the long (3 Hour) running time, the video quality is NOT compromised, thanks to the latest video compression codecs. The audio quality is professional, and during the course of the 14 sections of the DVD, there are numerous close-ups provided to ensure that you are using the proper hand positions.



All in all, this comprehensive DVD leaves little to be desired, and is highly recommended for beginning guitar players who are looking for a clear, comprehensive introduction to the instrument in a manner very similar to what you would expect from a private teacher.

Product description

Learn to play guitar in the dexterous "Travis Picking" finger style, wherein you accompany the chords and melodies with a continuing bassline - all one one guitar.



The style was pioneered by blues guitarists like Bill Broonzy, Blind Blake, and Gary Davis and further developed by guitar legends Merle Travis, Chet Atkins, and Tommy Emmanuel (among others).



This "self-accompaniment" style of guitar playing provides a challenge to advancing guitar players, and this 2 1/2 hour instructional DVD provides step-by-step instruction, showing you how to get this intricate style into your fingers.



This DVD is meant for guitar players with some prior experience on the guitar (you should know your chords and understand rhythms), but provides a thorough introduction for novices to this style in the first 25 minutes of the DVD. After that, instructor Joe Dochtermann teaches a variety of etudes and guitar riffs that build your "vocabulary" of important fingerpicking building blocks before moving on to the more complex pieces "Cocaine Blues", "Nine Pound Hammer", and "Cannonball Rag".



An excellent value for your guitar lessons dollar, this DVD provides you with enough material to learn the ins and outs of this style and build up a repertoire of pieces which you'll understand from a music theory perspective as well. Recommended for intermediate guitar players aiming to expand their palette of guitar skills.
