Ok first off I have to throw this down. People giving this DVD low marks because it was too advanced for them, that's not right. That's like a diabetic reviewing on how Ben n Jerry's ice cream tastes like crap, because they can't have it.
SHame on you! You don't give bad marks because of your lack of research when buying a product, even then when its a good one you give it low ranking implying the quality sucks. Grading on usefulness of instruction is important, but its relative:
Going into calculus and saying its useless and hard to learn, the instructor isn't a good teacher . . .when you're barely learning algebra isn't accurate. It is useful and has its place, its just you're not ready for it yet.
Reviews are supposed to give a quick summary on the product quality, accuracy of information, presentation.
Take some darn responsibility and get over buyers remorse. You can use the DVD when you get good enough. Ugh!
Anyway into the meat: I'm more into classical guitar, so the repetoire found in that style is enough to teach fingerstyle for years. I would have never came across this . . .
However, my friend, she is more into blue grass, and got this DVD. Over 4 months of pwning (yes its pwn) it and working through it I can see it really improved on her playing.
So much, I borrowed it, and checked the lessons myself. It is heavy. Previous posters saying this stuff will take months or years are NOT kidding. Maybe if you've got time and are a fanatic you might go through in few months.
Yes it is not for a complete beginner . . . but beginners bordering on intermediate can rock it.
I was surprised at the depth, yeah I know snotty classical guitar players LOL. But as I gave it back to her, I put this DVD on my to get list.
As someone else stated, it should have had alot more slow running lessons. I'm lucky in that I can take some stuff (usually in my virtuouso dvd's) to my friends / teachers . . . and they can break it down.
Then again this is the computer age and they probably have a PC dvd player that plays at slow speed, so its probably not an issue.
