What’s the difference between the old and new Beginners Guitar DVDs?

Our old Beginner’s Guitar Course was one of the original 3 DVD sets we made back in 2004. That product still stands on its own as a great value way of learning to play guitar from scratch but as you can imagine we’ve developed a lot since then. So our new Beginning Guitar 4 DVD set is very much a culmination of everything we’ve learnt in the last 8 years.

We’ve packed in more chords and grouped them into easy-to-play cheats, more strumming patterns and patterns in different time signatures, more play alongs and tips and techniques. We’ve included a lot more on transposing for beginners so you can use the chords you’ve learnt to play in any key and even using those chords to give you the option of two or three different voicings!

Plus there’s more songs to learn, more camera angles, better graphics, better backing tracks, and also12 tests you can come back to time and again to help you keep track of your progress. But overall in the new Beginning Guitar course the learning is worked into many more contexts making you a much more competent player by the end of the course.
