If you’re teaching yourself how to play this is a good tool to have!
I’m teaching myself how to play – I’m one trick/riff pony. I haven’t utilized the DVD as often as I should.
I’ve been teaching myself to play guitar for about a year now and I’ve read many books on plays chords and lead. This video was great because it visually demonstrates techniques in ways that a book can never cover. After spend 2 months or so going through this DVD I’m now able to play some complex strumming patterns, a bunch of scales, perform bends, hammer-ons, pull offs. The books I’ve read did a good job of explaining the basics, but working with this DVD 3-4 times a week really helped convert the infromation from the books into actually playing skills.
I’ve been playing on and off for about 25 years. You know, start playing get bored put it away for awhile then pick it the guitar back up. Start all over and never feel like you get anywhere. This is the first learning DVD that has not only kept my interest but helped me expand my playing ability past what the DVD teaches. The lessons are well explained, taught and demonstrated by watching, listening and then hands on playing/practicing. It’s the closest thing to an instructor and could be better than an average instructor. As a bonus you get access to one the best web site for free extra help. If you tried of learning Ode to Joy then try this. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Great beginner DVD
I was very pleased with this DVD. The teacher does a great job and there’s a small book that comes with it that helps out. I highly recommend it.

Start with the Rock House Method…
I have been a beginner guitarist for a long time now and of all the products that I have tried, Rock House Method’s: Learn Rock Guitar – Beginner Program, has been the best.

Almost as motivational as educational
While using other products to learn notation (though now I know these guys have that capability also), I picked up the combo pack for the “ear” training for my rythm.

Don’t buy this
I bought this video and I wish I hadn’t . The “teacher” is an average mediocre guitar player , some of the chords he teaches are wrong ( G major for instance ) .

Not a bad DVD
I’m about 4 weeks into owning my first electric guitar. I have 30 years experience watching my friends play but never had the discipline to actually start to learn.

Excellent
Great presentation. Actually sets you up with a structured practice routine, which I’ve never had. Starts easy and then adds new complexities as your finger strength and…

Rock House: Learn Rock Guitar Beginner Program
Excellent product. Starts off slow and easy and gradually gets more difficult. Lots of little tips that make it better than other instructional DVD’s I’ve ordered.

A valuable tool
This DVD is definitely worth the money. I have never picked up a guitar before so I was starting with no knowledge, however I do have a musical background having played piano for…

I was a Bass Player years ago and just recently, my son decided to pick up playing guitar…well, long story short – I played his guitar as much as he did. I wanted to get him – and I – something to learn from and found the Rock House website
http://www.rockhousemethod.com/?=29814 ;
and what a blessing it was. I ordered this DVD (in addition to a few more) and have not been disappointed. The level of instruction is perfect for the lesson levels and in no time at all, my son and I have become better players.
I know Private Lessons are available in most areas, but I think about it this way. Spend a couple of dollars on these DVD’s, gain enough knowledge/experience using these and THEN go to a Private Instructor down the road. Private lessons can cost 30.00 a half an hour and your first year alone can cost you upwards of 1400.00. Why not spend 100.00 ordering EVERY Rock Guitar/Heavy Metal/Hands of Steel DVD’s, get all of that knowledge and then down the road – use a Private Instructor to teach more intricate stuff. It’s about value for me.
Speaking as a parent as well, you never know if your kids will stick with it, so I’d rather spend money on this up front, than spend the money for a private instructor to find out they lose interest in playing. Plus, with these DVD’s, my son is hooked and looks forward to practicing every day. He hasn’t stopped or lost interest in a little over 3 months.
THe WebSite supports the products in addition to supporting the player themselves. Supporting documents/tracks/tabs/forums will help every student of RockHouse develop into a formidable player. This is what surprised me the most. After buying the products, I continue to learn from John McCarthy and from other instructors/students through the WebSite. John also offers members chat options, where we can ask him questions directly via Chats. Just amazing. I feel like he cares about his students, regardless of them being 1600 miles away and lives to continue to support them.
I am also NOT a paid employee of RockHouse, I am just a very satisfied customer. Pick up this and his other DVD’s and you will be to. Rock On!!!
