Item Description

(Sorry - there's no video available for this product just yet!)

Until now learning how to play the guitar has meant a choice between struggling along on your own, with a printed tutor, expensive private guitar lessons or even attended evening classes.

But now, his range of DVD's is a stonker! They're made by a chappie called Peter J Finlay, who is reponsible for a whole range of guitar DVD's which have won the title of 'Best Tutorial Product in the World' by Total Guitar magazine. And he's british too - no mulleted 1980's U.S. glam-rock throwbacks to be seen here!

This totally new and unique guitar tuition concept which uses the very latest video technology and special effects including split screen, computer graphics and "rolling music" techniques has proved to be easy to follow and understand, making learning to play guitar an enjoyable experience and above all keeps you totally absorbed throughout each lesson. This way you can see how to play, and also get an understanding of what you're playing rather than just learning copycat style! The DVD's are used as the recommended guitar tutorial in most British Libraries, and in many colleges and schools.

There are four DVD's available in the 'Complete Fingerstyle Guitarist' series. This way you can progress at you own pace, and cover a comprehensive range of styles including: Classical, Folk, Rock, Blues, Ragtime, Jazz and Bluegrass styles!

Disc 1 is Complete Beginner
Disc 2 is Intermediate
Disc 3 is Advanced
Disc 4 is 'Classic Collection' - showing you how to to play a range of popular (but advanced!) fingerstyle arrangements.

And hows this for handy - if you get stuck learning, you can even phone the guy direct and he'll offer advice to help you on your way! Hows that for service?!
