5 out of 5 stars THANK TO FENDER AND KEITH WYATT!.......2007-07-07

This DVD is really great. All the information for the beginners is there. Thanks for Fender and Keith Wyatt for doing this fantastic job (trust me, I have looked over other materials and this one rocks).

5 out of 5 stars Not dissapointed.......2007-05-07

The lessons are set up well, the practice with the band is fun. I haven't gotten all the way through the lessons but progressing through them has been rewarding and I am learning at an acceptable pace.

The only real complaint I have is that the menus are a bit confusing when you first get started, but after a while you will be ok with them.

5 out of 5 stars A great way to get started with Acoustic Guitar!.......2007-04-11

This DVD is exceptional! Keith Wyatt does a great job of putting you at ease and walking you through all of the basics of playing the acoustic guitar. The Rock, Blues and Country practice songs are great! You can follow animated tabulature or an animated fretboard (very cool) while you play along with the band. The tracks repeat continuously so you don't need to restart the music you just jump back in at the beginning. I highly recommend this!
