Gibson’s Learn and Master Guitar is heralded as being one of the best home study DVD courses available and is a highly polished product. The fact that Gibson guitars have put partnered with Legacy Learning Systems to produce this course also speaks volumes about it’s quality. It’s taught by Steve Krenz who has an exceptional bio having performed with Grammy winning artists like The Fifth Dimension and Israel Houghton and featured in promotional campaigns for Coldwell Banker, Prudential, and the World Cyber Games.

The course is really aimed at intermediate players who have never quite managed to reach their full potential as guitar players and so you’ll need to have at least some basic guitar skills to make the most of what on offer. Steve has an excellent teaching style which is probably a result of many years in the business and he comes across as someone who really enjoys teaching guitar.

What do you get for your money?

The course is jam packed full of content and contains the following

• 20 professionally produced DVDs filmed in HD with over 40 hours of instruction.
• 5 Jam-Along CDs.
• 100+ page lesson book.
• Unlimited access to our online student support site.

In addition to the core materials mentioned above the course is continually growing with lots more songs, excercises and tips being offered online via a special “Members only” portion of the website. This as well as discussion forum add an extra dimension to this course that sets it apart from others.

The course covers many styles of guitar playing such as blues, rock, country, fingerpicking, jazz, acoustic and funk so there’s literally something for everyone if you’ll excuse the cliche. This course is probably the most expensive on the market but is well worth the investment and you would be hard pressed to find a better course.

The good news is that “Learn and Master Guitar” offers a monthly payment plan to help you spread the cost which as far as I know is unique feature. The course also frequently has special offers on many of it’s guitar courses.

Testimonials

This DVD course seems to get consistent positive press and the online discussion forum that comes free with the DVD also seems to be a very popular addition, see below.

“Steve I just wanted to let you know your course is by far the best I’ve seen that’s out there, and trust me when I say this because I wasted a lot of money on courses that promise you to play like Jimmy Hendrix in just one week and for all of you here at LMG, we now know that is a load of !$^&,I mean regular practice with the dreaded gnome pays off big time believe me, just your course itself is awesome but what really puts it all together for me is your discussion board and all the wonderful people with such great advice…”
