What's the difference between this and the other Intermediate Guitar DVDs?

 This was the first Intermediate Guitar DVD we made and as such it works for both acoustic and electric guitarists. There is some overlap with the others, but with this one now at half price, there is plenty unique here that makes it worth getting hold of. Once the current stock is sold, that's it so do buy now if you would like this product.

What else is available to help me practice?

We have a DVD called Worship Backing Band - Musicians Practice Tracks which contains 54 worship songs that you can play along with. Practice is a lot more fun with other people! You can select to take the vocals out of the mix so you are effectively the singer with a pro band. Its like high quality worship karaoke. The DVD shows on-screen words and chords so if you play an instrument you can also play along as you sing.
