I was a bass player years ago and just recently my son decided to pick up playing guitar. Well, long story short - I played his guitar as much as he did. I wanted to get him - and I - something to learn from and found the Rock House website and what a blessing it was. I ordered this DVD (in addition to a few more) and have not been disappointed. The level of instruction is perfect for the lesson levels, and in no time at all, my son and I have become better players.
I know private lessons are available in most areas, but I think about it this way - spend a couple of dollars on these DVD's, gain enough knowledge/experience using these and THEN go to a private instructor down the road. Private lessons can cost 30.00 a half an hour, and your first year alone can cost you upwards of $1,400.00. Why not spend $100.00 ordering EVERY Rock Guitar/Heavy Metal/Hands of Steel DVD's, get all that knowledge, and then down the road - use a private instructor to teach more intricate stuff. It's about value for me.
Speaking as a parent as well, you never know if your kids will stick with it, so I'd rather spend money on this up front, than spend the money for a private instructor to find out they lose interest in playing. Plus, with these DVD's, my son is hooked and looks forward to practicing every day. He hasn't stopped or lost interest in a little over 3 months.
The Website supports the products in addition to supporting the player themselves. Supporting documents/tracks/tabs/forums will help every student of RockHouse develop into a formidable player. This is what surprised me the most - after buying the products, I continue to learn from John McCarthy and from other instructors/students through the Website. John also offers members chat options, where we can ask him questions directly via chats. Just amazing. I feel like he cares about his students, regardless of them being 1,600 miles away, and he lives to continue to support them.
I am also NOT a paid employee of RockHouse, I am just a very satisfied customer. Pick up this and his other DVD's, and you will be too. Rock On!!!
