Excellent teacher. Very thorough!

"At first, you might find the teacher in this video a little slow and boring, but when you intend to learn to play the guitar, you NEED slow. It takes time and patience to learn any instrument. He's very thorough and encouraging and calm. This was written for all ages. You don't need an expensive guitar to learn to play. A uke would do (4 string). This dvd is very easy to follow."
Annoying...

"I bought this because others commented about how easily they could follow Dan. Not true! His lessons were way too fast and on top of that, he has an annoying personality. If you're a true beginner, this cd is NOT for you."

"My son is 15. He promised if I would buy him a guitar that he'd learn to play. I bought him the Hal Leonard Guitar Method and Guitar for Dummies. I sat down with him and together we really got headaches. I didn't find fault in the methods, but they were tedious. Next we tried the DVD "Your First Guitar Lesson" and it allowed him to experience the sensation of making music immediately. We liked it because we weren't being required to think about counting or note reading. Instead, he was changing the chords with the songs. I don't think he had the attention span for the more academic approach. I'm thanking Dan Huckabee for preventing another Guitar Dropout."
Well-paced and helpful instruction

"I am a vocalist and wanted to learn to accompany myself. I bought the DVD and found myself playing within an hour. I also thought it was funny (and helpful) to have the instructor tell me to turn off the vid and get practicing. The lessons built logically, and were fun to follow. The choice of material kept me interested and I have continued to play and practice. Thanks, Dan!"
