So, you've decided to take the plunge and
embark on a musical voyage towards guitar mastery. Well done! At
No1Reviews.com we can recommend no better product than Steve Krenz's
Learn and Master Guitar from LearnAndMaster.com to help make your journey as enjoyable and
fulfilling as possible. This set of 10 DVDs (20 in the expanded
version), 5 CDs and an immaculately
printed and well laid out book is as comprehensive as it gets -
everything you need to take you from your first tentative strums
to a fretboard shredding guitar god!
One of the main difficulties in learning
guitar is that niggling feeling that sets in when you wonder whether
you're actually improving or just wasting your time. Unstructured
practice can mean slow progress, frustration and reinforcement of bad
habits that could impair your technique for years. Learn and Master Guitar is so
well structured and intuitively designed that these setbacks can be
completely avoided.
The most important feature of the package is
the set of 10 or 20 DVDs which contain the video lessons that you will
follow as you build up a complete and well rounded guitar playing style
of your own. The lessons cover everything from the basics of guitar
maintenance and buying your first instrument, through the important
steps of learning to play from both tablature and music notation, to
advanced technique and developing your own unique playing style.
Each lesson is divided into three sections:-
- Section one is a play along video lesson with Steve
Krenz;
the man himself demonstrates the techniques that will be addressed and
mastered during the lesson.
- Section two is a video tips section where Steve gives his
expert tips and advice on how to avoid any pitfalls when learning the
technique in question.
- Section three is an ingeniously structured practice
workshop that actually feels like getting personal one on one tutorship
with one of the world's most accomplished guitar teachers!
All of the material covered in the DVDs is also available in print form
along with additional exercises and examples so you can keep up and
extend your practice when away from your computer or DVD player. The
course is all laid out for you step by step and is incredibly thorough,
so you'll never feel lost or confused. With his years of teaching
experience, Steve seems to know exactly which areas are likely to give
you trouble and spends extra time dealing with these issues and
answering any questions you may have. If you are still having trouble
in a certain area of your playing you can pay a visit to
Learn And MasterGuitar's fantastic student support site, where any
questions you may have will be answered remarkably quickly, often by
Steve Krenz himself! Calling this feature of the Learn and Master
Guitar package a support site really doesn't give a full impression of
how great this online forum is. A better way to describe it would be an
online community where you can chat and share insights with thousands
of other learners and gain personal knowledge and advice from Steve and
his expert team, or even just let him know how you're getting along!
The final component of this excellent package is the 5 jam along CDs.
These contain nearly 100 professionally played and recorded tracks for
you to jam and and rock out to. The ingenious thing about these discs
is that, while you are still feeling unsure about a particular piece, you
can play along with the guitar part, and when you're feeling more
confident the tracks are mixed in such a way that you can turn down the
volume of the guitar simply by adjusting the balance on your stereo.
This allows you to take center stage and perform with a full band
backing, which is not only a great way to practice but is also
fantastic fun!
In Steve Krenz's own words Learn and Master Guitar is "serious
training". The author himself is not only an incredibly accomplished
player but a gifted communicator and has vast experience in guitar
teaching at all levels. If you're a complete beginner, this package is
perfect for you. It will give you a solid grounding in all the
fundamentals of theory and technique and take you towards complete
mastery in a fun and accessible way. You'll be amazed how quickly
you'll be able to play in a range of styles from blues, to classical,
Spanish and country fingerstyle. If you invest and commit to Learn and Master Guitar.com, in under a year you could be shredding, vamping and picking
with the best of them. If you're currently at an intermediate level,
this package is perfect for filling in gaps in your knowledge and
taking your playing to the next level. Even if you're an advanced
player, this package will be an invaluable resource for consolidating
and reinforcing your skills.
In short, LearnAndMasterGuitar by Steve Krenz is the best and most
complete package for teaching yourself guitar available right now. If
you're ready to begin the exciting and life changing voyage towards the
complete mastery of the guitar, what are you waiting for?...
The relatively high price point may be a drawback for some, but in comparison to the thousands of dollars you could be spending on private lessons, and considering the quality of tutorship offered here, learn and master guitar would be a bargain at twice the price!
