Chris Rupp - Basics of Rock Vol. 1/Basics of Blues Vol.1 2 Guitar Instructional DVD Combo Package

Video Sample

(keep in mind that this video clip is highly compressed for the web. The video in actual DVD is clear.)

This DVD was designed for the beginning or intermediate blues 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 the basics of what you need to know to be a good solid blues guitar player. I included some of the hottest blues licks around. See below for a description of material on this dvd. 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 blues playing. Running time 70 minutes. This DVD is professionally manufactured and is guaranteed to play on any DVD player. Running time approx. 70 minutes.

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