The Mechanics Of Electric Guitar

A complete guitar course for absolute beginners with Lee Hodgson! This easy-to-follow tutorial is ideal if you’ve just bought your first guitar, or if there’s been a guitar sitting around somewhere just waiting to be strummed… This DVD will take you from novice level through to intermediate level. Yet it requires no prior knowledge at all: it truly is for someone starting from the beginning.

Slowly but surely, the tutor guides you through all the things that a beginner needs to know and, very importantly, points out what can go wrong. Each of the carefully designed chapters includes chord vocabulary, while commonly used scales and technique, are introduced strategically, along with some practical theory – nothing too demanding, just enough to help you understand what you’re doing and why.

You’ll soon be strumming chords, picking out melodies and, hopefully, writing some songs of your own! Making music has never been so easy!
