Description:
For kids, adults, and sexy senior citizens. This one-hour DVD is guaranteed success because it follows the logic that the human being can only think of one thing at a time. You will learn the 19 main open chords & 23 songs that will give you plenty of practice to master all 19 chords quickly & easily. Learn how to make a guitar easy to play, how to use small guitars & ukuleles for children & people with small hands. Learn the parts of the guitar & how to tune, & all the tricks that make learning quick & easy. Note: This is a breakthrough in beginning guitar because we sat down & determined how many things "all at the same time" that video lessons were requiring of students. It turned out to be anywhere from 9-12 things at once! That's downright inhumane! Most of the students gave up, & it wasn't their fault. The teaching systems were simply loading them down with too many things at once. The reason we created "Your First Guitar Lesson" was to solve this problem. We give you loads of fun material, but "one-easy-logical-step-at-a-time. Includes: Auld Lang Syne • Amazing Grace • Aura Lee (Love Me Tender) • Away in a Manger • Camptown Races • Do Lord • Greensleeves • Happy Birthday • Heart & Soul • Home on the Range • House of the Rising Sun • Jingle Bells • John Jacob Jingleheymer Smith • Kum Ba Ya • Little Sadie • My Bonnie • Midnight Special • Mountain Dew • Oh Suzanna • Old Time Religion • Sloop John B • This Old Man (Barney Song) • You Are My Sunshine (60 min) (booklet inside the package)

My son is 15. He promised if I would buy him a guitar that he'd learn to play. I bought him the Hal Leonard Guitar Method and Guitar for Dummies. I sat down with him and together we really got headaches. I didn't find fault in the methods, but they were tedious. Next we tried the DVD "Your First Guitar Lesson" and it allowed him to experience the sensation of making music immediately. We liked it because we weren't being required to think about counting or note reading. Instead, he was changing the chords with the songs. I don't think he had the attention span for the more academic approach. I'm thanking Dan Huckabee for preventing another Guitar Dropout.
