Customer Reviews

great lesson
I found this to be a great guitar lesson. It is great for the beginner or the intermediate player who wants to learn Spanish guitar style. Esteban makes it clear and simple. There are a few aspects he presents, namely some freeform techniques, that I wouldn't recommend for the absolute beginner as it may seem confusing at first but its nice that they are included in the lesson so you have a another level to study after you learn the more basic techniques. Esteban demonstrates the playing methods very clearly and I was actually able to play Malagunea almost immediately, which says a lot. I cannot emphasize how clearly explanatory this lesson is. I was very happy with it. This is one of the better instructional lessons I have seen. It is relatively comprehensive yet simple considering that it is a somewhat more complicated style. Esteban is a great teacher and that makes all the difference. I highly recommend this study course.

nice package
I have been using this instruction for about a month as a beginner. I really enjoy it. It comes with a nice ringbound book, which has easy to follow instructions for playing each song. It also has the music and tab. There are a few small errors in the book, but easy to spot and remedy.
The dvd instruction is excellent.
This course gets you right into playing music, which is a great motivation to keep going in the early learning stages when your fingers are not used to fretting chords and the progress seems slow.
I am using this as a core to my learning, but also recommend a book or two on learning the guitar; to supplement this nice package. This course is designed to get you right into playing, but other beginner books can add depth to your study of the guitar.

Esteban is excellent
I don't have this particular one, but I have the 5 dvd set that came with master class package. I own over a dozen other learn guitar dvds and Esteban is by far the best. I'm very new (been playing almost 6 months) and have gotten so much better then what I was in just the month i've owned the dvd's. His exercises for running scales and his picking technique put me miles ahead of where I was. When I started playing, one of the songs I really wanted to learn how to do was Yes "meet all good people" and have been failing miserably at it since the beginning. Last night I actually got through it for the first time! Still had a few problems changing cords (but hey I'm new) picking the beginning however was flawless using the techniques I learned from Esteban. I haven't sat down and practiced with a few friends that play in about a month, but the next time I do these guys are gonna freak out. The progess i've made with this technique is really great. Considering some of the othere dvd's i've purchased got 4 and 5 stars in review. Esteban deserves a much higher rateing. This guy far outclasses them by a wide margin.
