"So, you have a pile of guitar instruction books, maybe some videos, too. Yet, somehow, you just can't make progress in your studies. You look at the profusion of guitar instructional materials out there, and wonder which one of them will finally turn you into a guitarist. Well, wonder no more. Happy Traum's DVDs are the only ones you'll ever need. Traum is an experienced and engaging instructor who has the unique ability to zero in on potential problems and tell the student exactly how to overcome them. His lessons go quickly, but he leaves nothing out. Follow his pace, and his advice about when to shut off the DVD and go practice on your own, and you'll be handling those chord changes on time in no time. It's time to move beyond G/C/D and become a real guitarist, and these are the DVDs that'll help you do it. This set is the jumping-off point for Traum's many other instructional DVDs. Whether your interest is bluegrass, country, blues, fingerstyle, or whatever, start here. You'll get an excellent, easy-to-understand grounding in guitar technique and theory. After that, you can move onto one of Traum's other DVDs to explore your favorite genre. Oh, great! I've just re-read what I've written, and I sound like some slick salesperson. I guess it's because I'm so relieved. After two years of false starts, I'm finally learning how to play. Thank you, Happy Traum!"
