This one course keeps coming up in my searches for guitar lessons for beginners. It's by this company called Legacy Learning Systems that has other music lesson courses too. But what I am interested in is the guitar lessons DVDs. I think it looks like one of the best instructional courses I've seen (and I've looked a lots of them).
Why is it the best? Well, my opinion (based on many years as a guitar player, guitar teacher and performer) is that this one has enough depth and covers all the necessary aspects needed to become good at playing the guitar. I've seen people (you probably have too) that say they can play, but when they do it just isn't good! If you are want to be a guitar player, you want to be one that people actually like listening to!
Of course, just being able to play for yourself is great. I remember this story my mom told me once about when I was younger. If I was in a really bad mood I would disappear into my room, get out my guitar and play for a while. When I would reappear from my little therapy session with the guitar, I would be back to my normally nice self. That is why I think EVERYONE should learn to play the guitar.
But, back to what I was saying about what may be my favorite course for guitar - Learn and Master Guitar is so full of features I want anyone even remotely considering taking lessons to look at it. It's really the best "drug" you could ever have. You can read more about it on this website: Learn and Master Guitar.
