Guitar Instruction DVDs

Everyone learns differently... even aspiring musicians. When it comes to playing guitar, some prefer to hone their craft in a class while others prefer a private one-on-one instruction with a teacher. Speaking of which, a private one-on-one instruction doesn't necessarily mean getting guidance from a teacher in-person - in fact, watching a guitar instruction DVD can be just as beneficial to your playing progression. Today's guitar instruction DVDs come to you from respected music education companies like Homespun, Berklee Press, Carl Fisher and Emedia, all of which have options available in this catalog.

Whether you're interested in shredding, slide guitar, intricate finger picking or simply strumming well-known acoustic favorites, this selection of guitar instruction DVDs is sure to have something to your liking. On the first page alone (and there are many), you'll come across one best seller after another. For example, Alfred offers interactive tutorials hosted by influential virtuosos like John Petrucci, Paul Gilbert and Scott Henderson. Or, if you're buying for a youngster, check out the Alfred Kid's Guitar Course 1 Book Enhanced CD & DVD.
