    When i bought this i had the intent of actually learning something new but what i got was more of a real beginners course, i know its in the title so i cant blame anyone but myself…. that aside its very informative and i am sure a first timer coming in will learn a lot from this but as for me i didn’t. I’ve been playing since i was 16 but left it around my 21st b day (now 27) all learned on my own just reading articles books and watching guitarist on youtube. It took me about 10 minutes to learn the song that was provided but this is my skill set… soo to anyone looking to maybe get a refresher maybe start at the intermediate level and anyone new this is the place for you hes good at teaching and explaining step by step all in all not for me but definitely worth for a beginner!
