Combining the best instructional tools for learning guitar in one course.

Known as the most complete course available for learning guitar, it is the winner of the Acoustic Guitar Magazine ‘Players' Choice’ Award, two Telly Awards, and an AEGIS Award for Excellence in Education. Includes 10 DVDs filmed in high definition with over 40 hours of instruction, 5 Jam-Along CDs, 100+ page lesson book, and unlimited access to the online student support site. For all skill levels.

The Gibson name has stood for superior quality in musical instruments for decades now. With Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar, taught by guitar pro Steve Krenz, that tradition of excellence continues.

The Alternatives
If you have looked online for guitar courses, you have probably seen a lot of thirty-minute "Learn Guitar Overnight" videos. Your instincts tell you that these will not work. For someone who really wants to learn to play guitar, Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar provides a series of video guitar lessons that will take you from any skill level, even a total novice, through to advanced levels.

Not a beginner guitarist? That's OK. Skim through the basics and jump into the more advanced training. Learn more about using the course as an intermediate player..

Lesson books alone, with no detailed video instruction, can be confusing. Using software-based instruction chains you to your computer and is difficult to use. Private guitar instruction is pricey, inconvenient, and depends on finding the perfect teacher. An average weekly guitar lesson will cost you $2,000 per year plus all that driving!

DVD Demonstration
Over 40 hours of instruction on 10 DVDs filmed in high definition. These are the heart of Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar. Each lesson is clearly explained and demonstrated, so you know exactly what and how to practice. The videos were recently awarded two Telly awards for excellence in the categories of Education and Use of Music.

Lesson Book
No one wants to practice along with a video all of the time! Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar Lesson Book contains all of the songs and exercises demonstrated in the video lessons, as well as several more, so you can continue practicing at your own pace for as long as you need before moving on to the next lesson.

Jam-along Guitar CDs
This is where the fun comes in! These five CDs allow you to "jam along" with an actual band, using the very same songs you'll be learning in your lessons. There's no better way to learn than by playing, and there's no way to play that's more fun than jamming with a band. You'll be amazed at how much more fun this makes your practice time! Your friends and family will be impressed, too, at how soon you'll be playing such amazing music!

Professional Guitar Instruction
Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar gives you a rare opportunity to study from a real pro. Steve Krenz has been playing professionally for twenty years. He is not only a truly masterful player with a very impressive bio, but also an incredibly talented teacher and communicator. You won't find a better guitar instructor anywhere. And because it has the Gibson and Learn & Master name, you know the training quality is of the highest caliber.

Student Support Forum and Community
Our student support forum is a vibrant learning community with over 15,000 active users, all helping each other along as they progress through the course. Once you purchase the course, you will also get access to our Student Support and Community websites. Steve Krenz, the author of Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar, is online regularly, answering questions and offering encouragement, as are other students. You can also build a student profile, post recordings of your songs, track your progress, and get feedback from Steve and other students. They are just two of the many reasons why our students love us. We hope you'll join us!

      Comments about Hal Leonard Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar Boxed DVD/CD Set Legacy Of Learning Series:

      The topics covered can easily allow a complete novice to get up to the level of competent player in about 6-8 months, depending on the individual. Inside of the first month, you will learn to read music in first position, and you'll continuously learn music theory. At about the half-way through point, you'll learn finger-picking techniques, then move on through different genres. I had several years of lessons and studied music seriously for 2 years, and this really solidifies a lot of concepts for me and very clearly explains the basics which I never fully grasped. What's also nice is that there are additional bonus videos which explain some of the Gibson history and manufacturing techniques, so that as you learn to play you get exposure to some other guitar knowledge as well. All in all, for the money, it's the best organized and produced video training tool I've seen in over 20 years of playing. I bought this to help me become a better teacher, and I will gladly recommend it to anyone I teach!

      Learning guitar finally

      By Richard Carew

      from Phoenix, AZ

      Comments about Hal Leonard Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar Boxed DVD/CD Set Legacy Of Learning Series:

      I have been playing guitar for over 40 years on and off. My guitar playing plateaued long ago after writing my own songs. I say writing but they are just in my head. I can teach them to you but I can't tell you about the music. This course is teaching me to tell about the music. I always wanted to know how to read music. After just a few weeks I can sight read for the first, third, fifth and seventh position. Of course I extrapolate on the ideas I am taught because despite starting at the beginning I am still an advanced player. This course lends itself well to the advanced player.
      This course offers an excellent musical education. Ive been playing for more than 40 years and am only now learning to read music. This course is teaching an old dog some new tricks!
      This course covers it all. It covers all of the knowlege needed to read and understand music.
      The course gives you a priceless ability to read and understand music. I can't begin to tell you how much it means to be able to look at a piece of music and know what it's telling.

      Learn and Master Guitar

      By Dave Smith

      from Undisclosed

      Comments about Hal Leonard Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar Boxed DVD/CD Set Legacy Of Learning Series:

      Gibson's Learn & Master Guitar with Steve Krenz. This is an exceptionally easy learning system for me. I tried the classroom route at the community college, and while did pick up some fundamentals, I really didn't progress well with the guitar playing. This course has changed all of that. I can work at my own speed, I can go back and review the DVD's, if necessary and the lesson book provides the exercises I need to gain proficiency. The only drawback I have noticed, so far, (I'm only on lesson 2) is a printing/editing error on page 12. On exercise 3, at the bottom of the page, the tabulation in my book is incorrect to the musical notes that they accompany. Since I was able to read music a little bit, this jumped out at me. A printed errata sheet or a new printed addition would be good for future customers.
