About The Author:
Steve Krenz , according to the Learn & Master Guitar web site, has a degree in music and has
played professionally with a broad range of bands from symphony
orchestras to the well known “Fifth Dimension”.
Steve is currently
an active guitarist playing and recording in Nashville, Tennessee.
Besides having taught thousands of lessons to students of all ages
and skill levels he has held guitar playing and music workshops all
over the world.
I found Steve to be soft spoken and down to earth with out being
boring. His matter-of-fact style of teaching made me feel like I
could really succeed. His teaching was logical and thorough while
moving along at a good pace. He cleverly offers short, fun and
impressively inspiring performances as transitions between many
lessons.
Guitar Types:
Learn & Master
Guitar teaches both Electric and
Acoustic guitars are used in the course demonstrations. It
is important to note that learning either guitar type requires
learning the same fundamental skills.
The Packages:
Your Choices Include
a 10 or 20 set of well produced DVDs that include 20
learning sessions, a 108 page companion book that follows the
contents of each DVD and five Jam Along audio CDs that contain a
full band playing all of the songs offered in the lessons. You can
play along with the Guitar part or turn down the guitar by reducing
the left stereo channel. The Jam along CDs were definitely the most
fun of the entire course… a nice payoff to all the hard work.
The Lessons:
Each Lesson is divided into three main parts; a
play along video lesson demonstrated by Steve Krenz followed a video
tips section that offers helpful information on useful auxiliary
equipment, guitar maintenance and protection as well as how to pick
out a guitar.
The final section of each lesson is called the
Workshop. This is a play along guided practice session. I found the
Workshops to be an ingenious way to learn how to practice. The built
in structure prevents wasting time. It’s almost like having your
teacher helping you at every practice session without the additional
cost.
Beginners:
Learn & Master
Guitar is nearly perfect. It begins with the
assumption that the student knows almost nothing about the guitar.
First the parts of the guitar are named followed by a quick but
smooth transition to the first two guitar strings and two chords.
Simple songs are soon introduced to break up the tedious work of
playing notes and chords smoothly.
I found that I actually
progressed much faster with the video lessons than when I had a
conventional live teacher. The play along Workshop practice sessions
are nicely designed to teach efficient and effective practice
habits.
Intermediate Players:
As an intermediate player I found new material in about the 5th CD. I found that
although I knew most of the beginner lessons I was glad they were
there as a refresher.
Minor Negatives:
…and I do mean minor. The
companion book doesn’t lay
flat. A wire binding would solve this problem.
The Bottom Line:
Learn & Master
Guitar is the best beginner guitar courses I
have ever seen. It has been designed to suit many different learning
styles. It involves no set up. Just grab your guitar, pop in the
first DVD and everything is on autopilot. It's simple, fun and jammed with tons
of lessons, songs, tips..... but, best of all it really works.
Without hesitation I highly recommend
Learn & Master
Guitar.
