Ultimate Beginner Jr.: Learn Basic Guitar Review

This instructional video actually teaches guitar through story.The story involves a teenager who dreams of being a great guitarist but can't even tune his guitar.Out of no where, a guy named H.E.L.P. appears in his bedroom and attempts to motivate and teach the boy to play guitar.Instruction covers how to hold a guitar and pick, play a few notes, a few chords, and rests.The kid learns to play a simple rendition of "Ode to Joy".That's about it for the story.The supplemental material is actually decent, the highlight of which is covering how to read basic sheet music.

What I look for in this type of DVD is instruction where I can hear the notes and see how they are played.This DVD instead shows you a few chords and notes and gives the rest of the lessons in text form.If that's all you want, you are better off buying a book.
