Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Chris Jones does a great job of demonstrating proper rhythm guitar technique.In addition to rhythm, he givesexamples of bass runs which are executed slowly at first, then at tempo, making them easily learned by most beginners.Overall, the material is well done, great lighting, closeups,etc. This coupled with Chris'articulate presentational skills makes for an enjoyable and informative instructional session.My only criticism, more left hand shots showing the chord forms that accompany the strumming patterns.
Chris Jones deserves a hardy round of applause for producing this fine instructional dvd.
