Whether it's been a passion or you are simply looking to start a new hobby, you can learn how to play the guitar like a professional and from the comfort of your home using a beginner guitar lesson DVD. Learning the guitar with DVDs offers many benefits. You no longer need to travel to guitar classes and this saves you tremendous amounts of time. You will also save on your travel expenses and also on expensive private guitar teachers. Learning guitar with DVDs also enable you to progress at your own pace.

The key is choosing a DVD that best matches your learning ability and needs. So, how do you choose one from the numerous offers?

First, ensure that the DVD lesson is being offered by an expert not only well versed in playing the guitar, but also in teaching. The instructor on the DVD has to be clear, unambiguous, and audible. This means that the guitar lesson DVD has to be of high quality sound and resolution.

Second, ensure that the DVD is for beginners. Some instructional DVDs touch briefly on the fundamentals involved in guitar playing. They then quickly move on to present advanced methods, assuming that you know the basics or that you'll figure it out. This is especially true for those that combine beginner and intermediary level lessons. Choose a DVD that takes you step by step. It is better for it to be repetitive than omit some fundamental steps.

Third, choose a DVD that deals with one type of music-contemporary, electric, or heavy guitar. While it can be fun to toy with the notion that you can kill two birds with one stone and learn all the different styles of music at once, it is not recommended. You'll end up a jack of all trades and a master of none. Identify the type of guitar music that interests you and choose an instructional DVD that specializes in it.

Fourth, choose a DVD that offers a variety of beginner lessons: finger and body positions, how to hold the guitar in the right way, and things like chords, strumming, chromatic scale, intonation and plectrum holding. These are all important aspects of building a strong foundation to learn advanced guitar techniques in future.

It is important to consider all the above as you search for the beginner guitar lesson DVD that best suits you. With the right DVD, you will learn how to play guitar fast.
