I support the review from the very first person that reviewd this 3DVD set..... and..... ....Let me tell you, yes it is great for the very begginer. If you are an intermediate or advance Blues guitar player this might not be a product for you. I consider this product a three levels Begginer Tutorial(DVD would be renamed as begginer-begineer, begginer-intermediate and begginer-advanced, the comments on the back cover of every dvd states that this will rock your world but since you cannot make a preview from the actual tutorials you would be misled by this comments. If you already know some cool blues riffs and licks I won't recommend this to you. +3 Stars because is very good for the very begginer. -2 stars because publisher notes mislead Consumers.
Wish I had this years ago!

Like most players I'm mostly self taught. This dvd set can literally take you from knowing nothing about the blues to competently jamming with the provided backing tracks. Two thing about this set make it stand out from other instructional videos. The picture in picture views of both hands including player's view.Also, the guitar fretboard has stickers with fret numbers on it. I find this way easier to follow since you learn to recognize numbers at a very early age. Music notation and even Tab takes awhile to get the hang of. John is an engaging instructor. Many dvds are too pedantic or overly complex. Some instructors are best descibed as sleeping pills.I've watched all three dvd several times and haven't even picked up a guitar yet. There is on line support but I haven't tried it yet. If your into any music that has blues at it's roots you will find this dvd set ultra helpful.
