Learn to Play the Guitar at Your Own Pace.<\/h5>\n

I\u2019ve ordered both VOL 1 & 2 a while ago, and I\u2019m really loving it! It\u2019s so cool to play those little Blueses and other tunes! I\u2019m having great fun with it! Great work! I especially like the video\u2019s\u2026 they are very much of a help!\u2026<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How to Play the Guitar \u2013 Volume I, is a guitar tutorial that makes it easy for absolute beginners to learn to master the instrument.<\/b><\/p>\n

Developed by a professional guitar player and trainer, this multimedia tutorial takes you step-by-step through the fundamentals of playing blues, rock, folk, arpeggios, and even classical music on the electric or acoustic guitar.<\/p>\n

The lessons are designed for guitar enthusiasts with no prior musical knowledge. All lessons are written in both tablature and standard musical notation. You\u2019ll learn how to move fingers of the left hand while playing simple, repetitive patterns with the right hand.<\/p>\n

Recreating the atmosphere of a private guitar lesson, the program covers common mistakes encountered by most students, including difficulties in keeping rhythm, fingering, and musical interpretation. Each lesson is progressively more difficult, and builds on prior lessons.<\/p>\n

In the CD-ROM version of Volume I of How to Play the Guitar, the videos teach you how to handle the instrument, and show you the proper positions for both left and right hands. The videos, music, and computer screens are designed for guitar enthusiasts with no prior musical knowledge.<\/p>\n
