As a teacher and guitar player for over 28 years, I’m always on the lookout for the most effective and most comprehensive guitar lessons that are out there. And because I have thousands of students that subscribe to my YouTube guitar lessons and email lists, I have become a trusted resource for quality guitar lessons. Since I teach mostly intermediate to advanced topics I was looking for something that would start from the absolute beginning and work its way to more advanced topics.

I recently came across a guitar course called Learn And Master Guitar by Steve Krenz. It looked promising as it has 20 DVDs, and 5 jam along cds, as well as a book and access to online support. But unlike most people who promote the product without seeing it (in order to make a quick buck), I emailed the owners and asked to have a copy of the course mailed to me so I could see it and evaluate it for myself.

I recently received the course and went through each DVD, CD and lesson book carefully. Here is what is contained in the guitar course. These DVDs start with easy guitar lessons that will allow you to learn guitar fast. Each Session is in the book as well as on the DVDs and jam along cds:
