Chris Rupp - Basics of Rock Vol 1/ 50 Greatest Rock Riffs 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.)

You get 2 great DVDs in this package that will get you well on your way to becoming a great guitar player. You'll learn the basic skills you need to play rock or any other genre of music plus 50 of the greatest rock riffs of all time. See below for details on both DVDs.

Learn to play 50 of the greatest rock riffs of all time fast and easy with this DVD. Not only will you be getting a great DVD to learn these riffs, but you will also be getting the guitar tablature with the DVD in case you are having trouble learning the riffs from the video. The guitar tablature for all 50 riffs is included on the DVD in an Adobe Acrobat PDF file for your easy viewing and printing. With these riffs you will not be learning the whole song. I chose to take the most recognizable riff in the song to show to you. I thought it would be cool to make a DVD you could buy just to learn riffs. I thought it would be a great way for people to expand their knowledge of rock riffs and a great way to impress their friends. No artists were injured or participated in the making of this DVD. This DVD is strictly for instructional purposes. This DVD is professionally manufactured and is guaranteed to play on any DVD player. Running time 60 minutes.

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.
