Estéban's Complete Guitar Course For Beginners Reviews
With Esteban, you'll have the perfect teacher, to show you how to play. He's like a 21st century Mozart, only on guitar. Some of the things I had forgot, until I purchased and played the vhs version of this extraordinary guide. You will have to learn to stretch your fingers, and you will have to have the drive to want to learn. But while he patiently teaches guys and girls of all ages how to play guitar on this fun video, I could since from the way he acted, that he would much rather tear that guitar apart(JAM, and after seeing the mini concert at the end of the vhs instructional video I have, I can tell you he can do it thoroughly. Simply put, he is a Master guitarist, and if you want to learn guitar, he is one of the best. One day, I stumbled across a guitar at a very reasonable price and thought, I'm going to try it again.
What I Like about Esteban is that he literally takes you step by step into the world of guitar playing, and he does it so in such a way that someone with absolutely no musical background can learn to play. It's inspiring to watch him play. But if you have that desire, the possibilities are endless, and Esteban is just the right person to get you started. He was a joke to many people, and he even made a comical insurance commercial.
But Esteban is no joke, not by a long shot. But note, no matter if you learn from Esteban or Joe Blow down the street, the expression, NO PAIN NO GAIN, is a fact of life. I learned to play guitar many years ago. And like many, I set it down after awhile and gave up on it. If you want to learn guitar and learn it at your own pace, and if you want to learn it by the easiest method possible, and learn from someone who has the credentials to back up his own words, you'll want to own this very exciting and fun course.
And many guitarists, whether they be into country music, rock, soul (do they call it that now)., or gospel, will tell you that it is best to learn to play classical guitar first, mainly because if you can play claissical music, you can play anything. When America was first introduced to Esteban, many played off his infomercials as nothing more than a "fly by night" trying to make a fast buck.
Overall, interesting, but this won't teach me how to play the music. Example, after you've followed Esteban and learn part of a song, you'll know the song only by rote - not by reading the notes. My biggest annoyance is that the songs are short, abbrieviated to 1/2 page. On a positive note, the first 7 chapters of the DVD go through basics of the guitar, correct positioning, strumming and finger picking styles.
This could be very helpful to beginners. For instance, you learn the chorus (only) of Greensleeves. This is kind of a bizarre product. You don't learn to read music, you follow Esteban.
The book shows tablature, steps for stumming and each note but really the course is designed to follow Esteban on DVD. Yes, he teaches technique well, but as a beginner, learning how to play the songs and read music is more important than the technique.
Makes me want to learn and gives me the ability to follow at my own speed. I'm just coming back to the guitar and this is the absolute easiest and best product I've seen. Really enjoying the course.
I am just beginning to learn and this course has given me confidence to press forward and learn. Thanks I am improving every day.
Still waiting to see if the return gets processed correctly. Received another copy of the DVD so I returned it. Not what I received.
