Average Customer Rating: 4.5 out of 5

1) Electric Guitar Class   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Recommended for beginners players. Very good classes with sound and images (a DVD video from Keith Wyatt)

2) Good DVD, get a good beginner book first   [Rating: 4 out of 5]
The dvd is great and show you a lot of different techniques. It is a difficult dvd for a beginner but if you stick to it you will learn a lot of good techniques without paying someone. It takes a lot of practice with the dvd but the looping practice tracks actually make it easy. I would recommend this dvd.

3) Not for Beginners   [Rating: 2 out of 5]
I bought this cd for my grandson, based on reviews. I found it very difficult for beginners. I think they assume that you have a basic knowledge. I guess I assumed incorrectly, that this was for beginners. Would not recommend for beginners

4) DOES NOT WORK   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
I purchased this product in hopes of learning how to play the guitar, instead i got a dvd that doesnt work. the language is all messed up and some of the chapters dont even work. i would never recommend this product to anyone, learning or otherwise. DO NOT BUY, ITS DEFECTIVE!!!!!!!

5) Great For Beginners   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
About a month ago I purchased a guitar and this video. It has worked very well in teaching the basics. I am a complete novice on the guitar, and Keith Wyatt does an excellent job of teaching. I highly recommend this!!!
