Blues Guitar DVDs

If you want to play the blues but don’t have a consistent enough schedule to construct your day around a teacher, an instructional DVD might just be the thing for you.

Instructional DVDs are great, as they contain lessons that are not only played for you to watch, but are then broken down and played note by note.

So what are some great blues guitar DVDs for you to start off with?

The first DVD is Learn to Play Blues Guitar – Level 1 with instructor John McCarthy. This DVD is full of important beginner blues techniques, including the ever famous twelve bar blues. Not only does this DVD walk you through the blues step by step and lick by lick, John McCarthy also breaks each and every lesson down into more manageable pieces.

The Rock House Method is known for their great DVDs for guitarists of every level, and this DVD is absolutely no exception. The DVD comes with a thirty two page booklet, as well as a free online membership to The Rock House Method’s site, which allows you to access free lesson support, and further lessons and data. From blues chords and scale, to lead techniques such as vibrato and legato, this lesson is extremely simple and well put together for beginner guitarists.
