Rock Guitar Heroics - Premium Electric Guitar for Beginners & Pros | Perfect for Live Performances & Studio Recording

I have been playing guitar for over 20 years and Marcus Henderson is one of the best instructors I have come across. Many video instructors (especially celebrity instructors) can be condescending and cocky in their approach to instruction, however, Marcus is neither. While it is clear that he has a robust knowledge of the instrument and theory, his approach to instruction is friendly and encouraging. He is a fantastic communicator and explains things in a clear and concise manner. Marcus also excels at making challenging concepts easy to understand. One feels like Marcus is really interested in the success of the student. He also has a great sense of humor which makes the lessons even more enjoyable.Marcus focuses on Theory, Technique, Attitude, Improving your playing, and enjoyment of the process. His discussion of Warm Up's is often overlooked and an extremely important. I felt as if Marcus was in the room with me helping me to improve my playing and had a vested interest in my success. While the DVD is geared towards the intermediate player, beginners and advanced players can benefit from his approach as well. Marcus does a great job of teaching methods to develop your own practice exercises. His lessons cover the topic while encouraging the student to expand upon the topic.The format of the DVD is broken down by 7-8 minute lessons and a bonus tuning section. The lessons are presented clearly with slow and fast demonstrations that include guitar tab, making it easy to follow. Each 7-8 minute lesson is akin to a 30 minute face to face lesson with a live instructor, making the DVD perfect for a in home weekly lesson. The advantage is that you can always go back and re-watch an old lesson to brush up or catch something you may have missed initially.The lessons are:1. Warm Up2. Finger Independence3.
