Here is a list of the pros and cons of usingGuitar lessons on DVD.
Ultimately, I think the good points outweigh the bad, but here's the
deal.
Without a guitar teacher to give personal attention, you run the risk of developing bad technique which could slow down your progress and even contribute to repetitive strain injury (RSI) Also, you can't ask a DVD questions (well, you can, but it won't answer you.)
There isn't any evidence to suggest that self-taught guitarists are more likely to develop problems like carpal tunnel syndrome, so the advantage of guitar lessons on DVD is the convenience of learning from home on your own schedule, and saving money.
The best DVD you can get is shown on the left here, Fender Presents Getting Started on Electric Guitar. It's from Hal Leonard, one of the most trusted authorities in learning guitar. Do yourself a favor and pick it up. You won't be disappointed.
