Rock Guitar Lessons in the 21st Century: Advantages of Guitar DVD Instructional Videos

By Peter Nowak

When someone picks up a guitar for the first time, they almost immediately do so with the intention of playing their favorite songs. As any respectable guitar player can tell you, it is almost impossible to do so. After failing to master the opening riff to Deep Purple’s “Smoke on the Water,” you may wish to actually learn how to play guitar; enter the age-old process of the guitar lesson. Although individual experiences may vary according to who your guitar instructor is, you will either relate a positive experience or tell a horror story. Despite which type of teacher you encounter, you may incur a great deal of stress about the following: dealing with the difficulty of having to schedule your life around a set lesson time, transportation to and from the instructor’s location, and possible performance anxiety in the presence of a skilled instructor. Here is where the guitar instructional DVD would come in handy.

Let’s say that during a lesson, you do not understand what your instructor is teaching you, and even though your teacher goes over a g minor 7th chord time and time again you still can not understand it. With a guitar instructional DVD, you can view certain parts of a lesson multiple times and not worry about asking an already stressed out and impatient teacher to repeat what he or she has already repeated three times over. The concept behind a guitar instructional DVD is one of pure convenience. Instead of worrying about going over to someone’s house or music studio, you have the luxury of relaxing within the confines of your own home. Also, most guitar instructional DVD’s do not exceed a cost of $30 so you can purchase it and not to worry about paying a teacher $20 per week, which after a few months begins to take a toll on anyone’s wallet (and not to mention the cost of gas with today’s prices). So where can you find a guitar instructional DVD and who makes them?

Over the course of this past year, a new guitar instructional DVD program entitled Rock Guitar Power has emerged with a full 110% guarantee that you will learn to play guitar in a shorter amount of time and better than you ever thought possible. Rock Guitar Power, created by Mike Deiure, is a series of two DVD’s that takes a student through a fun and easy to learn from program. Volume 1, created for the straight beginner, starts the student off with the basics such as tuning, open chords, power chords and the 12 bar blues. Volume 2 covers more advanced techniques such soloing, improvising, and scale practice.
