Guitar Instruction DVDs for Acoustic Guitar

The nice thing about our new age of technology is that in order to do something, you don’t have to leave your house.

This is a convenience that wouldn’t have been imaginable years ago, and while some would argue against it, it is very helpful when learning the guitar.

Instructional DVD’s are a great way to a handhold on the acoustic guitar, both when it comes to playing and when it comes to learning the common theory involved with playing.

In this article, we will discuss a couple good guitar instructional DVD’s for acoustic guitar, as well as things to look for in an instructional DVD set for the acoustic guitar.

Before we get into the things to look for and the things to avoid, we’ll give you those couple examples of good acoustic guitar instructional DVD’s. The first is Gibson’s Learn and Master Guitar. This set doesn’t just cover acoustic; it covers large areas of music that will help you get your legs and then walk you through more than those first steps.

The second is Fender’s Getting Started on Acoustic Guitar – A Guide for Beginners. This product is geared solely towards people who are new to the acoustic guitar, and it won’t get you as far as Learn and Master Guitar, but it is a great starter product and a great comparison for other products.

While these two are from big hitters, there are tons of products just as good (if not better) for more minor leagued companies, so don’t limit yourself to these two options or else you might miss out.

The first thing you want to take a look at is content quality. You will preferably be spending hours with this DVD, and if the footage is so grainy that it gives you a migraine, well, it won’t do much for your playing past turning you into Pavlov’s dog and making you run in fear each time you hear an acoustic guitar.

If the DVD comes with a booklet or a workbook (very helpful, but not unfortunately necessary so many companies don’t include one) you want to make sure that it follows the lessons in order. You don’t want to jump around the book like you’re playing a game of lava; you want the lessons in order from one to however many there are.

This may seem like a very basic need, but you’d be surprised the sorts of things that some companies do, such as making the book alphabetized instead of chronological. Never assume the company uses common sense just because you would, because sometimes they won’t.

Finally, you want to read guitar product reviews. Reviews can save your wallet when nothing else can, so don’t overlook them. Read between the lines, but also make sure that poor reviews are related to the product itself and not the shipper or vendor. If a site is built solely to review the product, it as a scam and you’ll wind up buying something that could be complete junk. Good luck, and use your head!
