Chris Rupp - Basics of Rock Guitar vol.1/ Basics of Rock Guitar Scales Vol.2 Double DVD Set

You get 2 great DVDs in this package that will get you well on your way to becoming a great guitar player. See below for details on both DVDs.

This DVD was designed for the beginning or intermediate rock(or any other style) guitarist in mind. I was tired of seeing guitar instructional dvd's of some incredibly fast guitar player blow though all of his licks and didn't really explain how to play the guitar. So I decided to put together a dvd that covers all the basics of what you need to know to be a good solid guitar player. Buying this dvd is like getting 6 months to 1 year's worth of guitar lessons. It's something you will be able to come back to time and time again to work on different aspects of your playing. Running time 110 minutes. This DVD is professionally manufactured and is guaranteed to play on any DVD player.

Learn with a Berklee College of Music graduate and someone who's been teaching private guitar instruction and performing for more than 10 years.

Material on this dvd:

• tuning your guitar
• notes on the guitar
• power chords
• open string chords, with chord chart
• bar chords, with chord chart
• octaves
• major scales, all 5 positions
• major pentatonic scales, all 5 positions
• minor scales, all 5 positions
• minor pentatonic scales, all 5 positions
• playing rhythm - learning how to strum (with on-screen examples)
• improvising using scales, palm muting, bending, vibrato, harmonics, tapping, including a jam-along section in the keys of E minor, G major, D major, and A minor
• how to play 20 of the biggest riffs of all time - including riffs from Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Ozzy, Metallica, Green Day, Linkin Park, Van Halen, and many more

This DVD was designed for the beginning or intermediate guitarist in mind. I made this DVD because I know just how important it is to understand the theory behind what you are playing. Not understanding scales and music theory is like trying to speak another language without taking the time to learn how to pronounce the words in that language and understanding what those words mean. This DVD is going to show you how to play the scales and theory necessary to make you a better musician. See below for a description of material on this dvd. Buying this dvd is like getting year's worth of guitar lessons. It's something you will be able to come back to time and time again to work on different aspects of your playing.
