Great way to learn some great tunes.......2005-12-19

After reading all the bad reviews I was a bit skeptic about this dvd. But being a big Beatle fan I decided to give it a shot. I have the "Beatles Complete Scores" but the print is so small it takes forever to learn the solos and noticed a few mistakes on the tabs also. I love this dvd, i've been playing some 25+ years and know a lot of beatle songs but had trouble learning some of the solos. With the loop feature you can play along with the solos in slow motion untill you've got it down. I learned several the first day. The Beatles music is more complex than some people think. I don't recommend this for beginners but for musicians who are used to jammin with other guitarist and can learn from watching other guitarist this is great. When i first started learning guitar there wasn't any tab so we had to pay close attention to other guitarist. Anyway for me this works great. I hope there is a vol. 2, 3, and on and on.

Not for beginners / Good for more experienced.......2005-07-10

This video is for those guitarists that can learn from watching. As other reviewers have noted, there are no tabs included. I empathize with those new to guitar eager to learn Beatles songs and are frustrated by the lack of tab. However, intermediate and advanced players can really benefit from this video. The feature that really stands out is the looping of the individual guitar parts. Instead of constantly pausing and rewinding, just sit back and listen/watch the same riff/lead until "you get it". If this video had on screen tab and some commentary, it would get 5 stars from me.

Ripoff.......2005-01-05

It will take you forever to learn a song from this DVD. You cannot see what notes the guy is playing. His fingers block the view of the frets. No TAB or chords provided. The company should at least provide TAB on their web site.

Good, useful > but has problems.......2005-01-05

Like others, bought this for my son after reading positive reviews. However, like the other negative reviews, I'd agree that this program has a serious flaw that you should be aware of : without any on-screen image to match what the guitarist's fingers are doing, it gets pretty confusing, as you cannot tell what the fingers are doing.

However, the musicianship and musical insights are great : very authentic styles for all the guitar parts in all the songs.

Nothing instructional about it.......2005-01-02

I got this DVD for Christmas and was exciting to learn some Beatles songs. My excitement quickly turned to frustration. The DVD is only a collection of up close videos of Mike playing his guitar. There is no tab, no music, no descriptions of any kind to tell you how to play any of these songs. I spent an hour trying to tab out the first few measures of Back in the USSR. At tempo or even in slow motion, this was impossible. Ask yourself if you can simply watch someone play and then play yourself without any instruction on what chords or notes to play. When I complained to GuitarSolutions.com, they suggested several books that I could purchase to supplement the DVD. I wish I had just received the books. I would be playing my favorite Beatles tunes by now.
