4/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Feb-05-2009; Getting Started on Acoustic Guitar; 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.; read full review | report as inappropriate

2/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Feb-02-2009; too fast; For someone who has just picked up the guitar, this was way too fast to get any real instructions. It had a great overview about playing but didn't really teach the basics. Not really for first timers.; read full review | report as inappropriate

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Jan-25-2009; Guitar DVD; I Don't even have a guitar yet and just bought the DVD to see it I could maybe learn it. The video goes pretty fast but is good. I think I will have to have personal instruction instead. Good Luck; read full review | report as inappropriate
