I ordered some different material to get me started playing, and this was easily the best. Keith Wyatt is a good teacher, he talks to you not at you. It’s very easy to follow unlike some that seem to start in the middle or assume you can play already. Highly rated by me!
The only thing I did not like is I could not find a way to print some of the material like chord charts etc.
Excellent for beginners.
I was self teaching myself with books and with Internet assistance via guitar learning sites. I made some progress and then I came across the DVD online and read the positive reviews. I ordered it and I am happy I did. Keith Wyatt makes learning fun, I find myself learning the notes on the neck, getting started with finger picking and the play alongs are very helpful for your timing and rhythm. For me the DVD is well worth it.
I purchased this title for the Opening Day Collection for our new library. A patron had requested more DVDs about learning to play guitar. This one has been checked out several times.
I got a truncated copy of this DVD free with a guitar I bought.
It was pretty good, so I went for the full version at Amazon.
There is a lot varied ground covered concerning picking styles, and various methods of playing that are useful to learn.
Much of it goes by too quickly to take in in one viewing, expecially if you are trying to play along.
Since it’s a DVD you can repeat as much as is necessary.
I have not seen any other videos of this sort, but I thought the range of information was good.
I thought the DVD navigation was lacking in that repeating a chapter could have been made easier.
Takes you from the basics and explains a lot.
However, one must realize that the learning comes from the DOING.
Just watching this is not enough. You will not realize the benefits from this DVD until you have worked through the lessons.

This is a really great dvd for those who are just starting off, gives you information to get yourself going. Teaches you what equipemtn to buy, and what additional gear you need. Good item, but not for advance users.
Turntable Technique is a pretty decent guide for aspiring DJs that have never ever laid hands on a pair of tables and a mixer. I think the DVD would be informative for novices. They also go over many scratches like flares, stabs, the crab, and a couple others.
There is a book and record set of the same name and it’s basically a retread of the DVD. DJing jargon gets defined and it shows you how to count beats, read music notes, and how to wire and set up your own station. It also explains all the parts and functions of a turntable. Just like the book, all of this gets broken down to the most elementary of terms, so it’s pretty easy to follow.
The problem with this set is the fact that it’s practically useless to anyone that has so much as set up a pair of tables and a mixer. I bought this DVD, as well as the book and record set, in hopes of learning something that I didn’t know already. While it wasn’t a total loss, I highly recommend that anyone doing this for more than a year pass on this. I would recommend DJ Qbert’s Do It Yourself Skratching DVD over this instead.
With that being said, I don’t think anything beats standing next to another DJ and just watching what they do. I learned by going to shows, watching other DJs, and brainstorming with my DJ buddies. I’d recommend that approach over any DVD or book.
The guy on this DVD is a professor at the Berkeley school of music. It shows. He is excellent at explaining things. He breaks them down in to small steps and makes them very easy to understand. You can tell he has been teaching for a long time.
In the section on creative mixing, he shows many ways to combine two records. He even takes the snare from one record, or just a horn section, and flies them in over the other record. This got me thinking in totally new ways about my mixes.
There is a lot about setting up that you can get from the owners manuals, but the scratching stuff is also very clear and well done.
I wish the professor would put out a DVD with QBert—his clarity of teaching combined with QBert’s chops would be awesome!
I have always wanted to DJ via turntables, but never found the opportunity to start and learn. I bought this dvd per the customer reviews and as a way new beginner at this, with no knowledge of the equipment specifics, this dvd was very helpful. I can’t wait to buy my first DJ equipment and start practicing. I will definitely buy more instructional dvds from this guy in the future.
I was going to buy turntables from my roommate’s girlfriend’s brother, but then he broke up with her and i wrote a nasty story about her online and she found it so I didn’t get to buy turntables, but then my girlfriend bought me turntables for my birthday. So I bought this DVD to learn how to do everything… it’s pretty informational on set-up and the basics, but just boring as hell and slow. I couldn’t even stand watching it… his samples are pretty boring too, running trumpet loops over techno beats… looping breaks, etc. This DVD would be good for learning basic techo blends. As I’m looking more towards spinning hip hop and scratching… i’d recommend DJ Qbert’s Do It Yourself Scratching DVD. It’s great.
I am a conga player who doesnt have any training in percussion instruments. I have a good sense of rhythym and can play well with other musicians and do so on a weekly basis. Everything I play is by feel so I thought I would like to learn some basic patterns.
Richie Gajate-Garcia surely doesn’t lack skill, but it is my impression that it is painful for him to try to teach at a beginner level. He states that you shouldn’t try to play too fast, but then procedes to play every pattern in hypersonic speed. Its impressive to watch, but impossible to participate in. He does start off slowly, but just when I’m getting the hang of it he speeds up and I have to stop playing, grab the remote and rewind to the beginning again. I don’t know if this is typical for instructional videos but it is very annoying.
What would really help me get better is a “playing partner” on dvd – someone to follow along on a drumming pattern that lasts for more than 10 seconds. I would have been stoked to have 60 minutes of that rather than the artist biography, photo gallery and bonus video clip.
As another reviewer stated, I am also self taught with the congas. I’ve never had any formal training but my enjoyment and interest in the conga prompted me to purchase this video. Prior to buying this video I also played by ear or by feel. One reviewer stated that he wanted “continous” play-along on a given pattern lasting more than 10 seconds. This type of “instruction” would be wasteful, boring, and repetative. The video would have to be 3 hours long for that type of instruction. What Richie attempts to do on this video is present the viewer a number of basic hand movements and actual conga patterns for the VIEWER to practive over and over on his own. Richie presents the foundation from which the VIEWER can build and expand his own creativity. I found the video to be very informative for beginners. I’ve played for years not realizing the mistakes I was making when striking the drum to attain a certain note. One thing I should mention is that it would be EXTREMELY helpful for the viewer to be able to read basic musical notation. The literature that comes with the video will do NOTHING for you if you cannot read it. You can still benefit from the video if you try to memorize the timing and hand strokes from video. All in all…my opinion is that this video is NOT the best……but certainly NOT the worst that I have seen. I found it very helpful. I do not recommend it for intermediate or advance musicians. But as an visual aid for a beginner it is perfect!!
This dvd “Roger McGuinn’s Guide To Home Recording On A Computer” is very informative and well worth the money. Roger shows you firsthand how to record to a laptop or desktop using recording software in this case Cool Edit now Adobe Audition. You can replace the software with whichever version you prefer be it Pro Tools or Cubase and etc. but the lessons learned by Roger is what you will find to be an eye opener especially if you are new to recording.
The old saying “a picture is worth a thousand words” is evident here as you see for example Roger do the vocal “double up” to make the vocal more full. Watching Him do the vocal harmonies and seeing Him fix an error on the lyric by “punching in” the correct part.
So much more than words can describe the best part though is watching and hearing Roger McGuinn the Folk Rock legend give you pointers as if he were an old friend in your living room.
Well worth the cost of the dvd ! You will learn something from this dvd and have fun doing it.
It’s rare to see a rock superstar doing an instructional video, let alone one on digital recording. I have engineered for over 30 years and picked up some tips from this, even though it’s geared for the beginner. It’s a real treat to see McGuinn assemble a song track by track. His voice is amazing after all these years. If you enjoy The Byrds, folk rock, or just want to learn about digital audio recording, this is priceless. Better hurry, because it seems they don’t keep things like this in print forever and this shouldn’t be missed.
If you are totally new to recording with a pc this DVD is brilliant! Its a few years old and the software he uses has changed (cool edit is now adobe audition), in fact this is really good because you can download a program for free called “audacity” which is almost identical to the old Cool edit, (adobe audition will have more modern features but these are not necessary for a beginner)
check out his website too!
This DVD is for somebody first considering the plunge into digital recording, or somebody who’s already bought multitrack software and found it daunting. (That’s me.) Don’t buy this DVD if you’re Jeff Lynne, or if you think you are.
After a snappy and promising introduction, McGuinn fires up the Cool Edit Pro program, picks up his signature Martin 12-string, and lays down a rhythm track. It takes three minutes and change, and we watch the whole thing, with extended close-ups of his picking hand, his chording hand, and Cool Edit Pro counting milliseconds one by one. A thousand things McGuinn can play warrant this sort of inspection, but not the simple guitar part to the lovely “May the Road Rise to Meet You”, and one wonders what the editor was thinking. Happily this is the only substantial misstep.
The training session regains its rhythm as McGuinn layers vocal tracks, and what is more interesting, makes a mistake. He expertly chops a few words of a flubbed lyric out of one track and creates a new track segment with the right words, all in a matter of seconds. The result is seamless.
All with speed that will surprise those who haven’t seen this sort of thing before, McGuinn records tracks, adds reverb, deletes noise, creates fades, and mixes the song down to stereo.
Along the way we get an excellent tour of his hardware and software, all available off the shelf with the exception Cool Edit Pro, which became Adobe Audition a couple of years ago. However, everything he says about Cool Edit Pro seems to apply to the current Audition.
While we do not again sit through the playing of a full track after that first one, I would’ve been happy to hear the finished multitrack song polished to McGuinn’s satisfaction.
A promotional piece for Dell included as a bonus covers much of the same ground, and serves to show what the DVD could have been with more able and assertive editing and direction.
But any quibbles about the production are outweighed by the quantity of information it conveys. The second time you watch this, you’ll want to take notes.
Great innovative information as to how to improve and alter great musical sounds on the pedal steel!
This is an excellent DVD. Anyone who plays steel guitar can learn something from this DVD. All shots angles and views are clearly captured by the cameras. Tommy does an exceptional job of explaining the course. Personally, I am trying to decide which I liked the best, the instruction or the demonstration. Killer tone in his hands and in that good ole Emmons he was playing !!!
I love the way Mark Hanson starts out slow and progresses through the lessons. He makes it fun and easy to learn fingerstyle guitar.
I would recommend this to any beginning or intermediate guitar player.
I have both Learn to play fingerstyle and How to play fingerstyle blues solos
and they compliment each other. If you are wanting to learn how to play fingerstyoe guitar you won’t go wrong with these titles.
