Movie Reviews of Getting Started with the Pentatonic Scale Guitar DVD. Learn Patterns, Technique, Songs, Application and Theory.
Movie Review: Surely THE BEST - Deserves 10 Stars !
Summary: 5 Stars
Hi Friends,
I hope everything is well !
This is Kush from India. Just wanted to share my honest thoughts and experiences with Desi Serna's (Of Guitar-Music-Theory.com) DVDs(both PENTATONIC AND CAGED DVDs), so that anyone considering/wishing to purchase these DVDs will get an idea / guidance.
Firstly, I'd like to say that before buying Desi Serna's materials, I used to collect and purchase a lot of Guitar Instruction Books and DVDs - I almost own more than a 100 Books and DVDs on Guitar Instruction - and I honestly & truly say that Desi Serna's materials are truly THE BEST I've seen so far. (IMHO) - Truly no butterings intended to anyone ! I have really stopped buying and collecting all other Guitar materials after studying from these DVDs.
Actually, I own ALL the products of Desi Serna and I really cant choose the best out of them - each one is a REAL MASTERPIECE and will surely give a huge advantage to the student studying from them (again IMHO)
I'm writing this review as a common review for both the DVDs (CAGED and PENTATONIC)
Firstly I'd like to speak about the teaching Style on these DVDs - I own more than 60 DVDs on Guitar Instruction, and I can easily say that these DVDs have the BEST TEACHING, without any doubt. Desi Serna's playing is really inspiring and his way of teaching is far superior than others - infact I truly envy the students who are fortunate enough to learn from him in private classes... His approach is really so FRIENDLY and CLEAR, one really feels like learning from a Friend or a Brother.
If I may speak personally here, I have taken Desi Serna as my Guitar Idol and he's truly my inspiration. I have an aim in life - to becoming a good Guitar teacher and I feel that if I can become even 10% of Desi Serna, as a teacher - I would consider my Life and Career a success !
Ok, sorry if I'm boring you guys, I think I should cut it a little short (though I could write more and more about these DVDs) - so some of the other things that really make these DVDs different are -
1. REAL SONG EXAMPLES (The best Feature (IMHO), seen very-very rarely in Instruction Products)
2. GREAT TEACHING STYLE (Truly the best, I've seen so far)
3. Huge amount of Topics and knowledge covered - I learnt so much from these DVDs, that finally I have got the confidence in my self and my playing ! After learning from these DVDs, I have finally started teaching Guitar ( was reluctant for about 6 - 7 months !!!)
4. GREAT VIDEO and AUDIO Quality (I'd give it much more than 10 out of a 10 !!!)
5. Each covers the subject THOROUGHLY - (Honestly, I have not been able to find so much of QUALITY Instruction anywhere else)
I think I can go on and on....
Anyways, I honestly wish that my Review woud give you a basic idea of what these DVDs are about and their advantages over others. I can easily say that these are REALLY THE BEST Educational DVDs I've ever bought and they are MUCH-MUCH more worthy than what they are being charged for - I believe that these DVDs would be as successful as they are now, even if they were priced more ! I would DEFINITELY buy them even if they were Priced more than the current Price - These DVDs are a REAL VALUE FOR MONEY and A MUST FOR ANY GUITAR STUDENT (I feel that they are almost a necessity for any serious Guitar Student / Player)
One of the most important things I wanted to mention (but forgot to mention earlier) is that THE CUSTOMER SERVICE is SURELY THE BEST ON EARTH (I wish i could bold this sentence) - I truly mean this and I'm sure anybody who has ever bought anything from Desi Serna, Guitar-Music-Theory.com will easily agree. Desi Serna, is one of the kindest Teachers
I've ever contacted and he really CARES for his customers and students.
He really helped me with all my doubts and questions and replied to all my emails - If I may speak personally again, I consider myself gifted and blessed to have learnt from his materials.
Another GREAT THING about Desi Serna is the free Videos and Lessons that he sends you regularly thru email - Who does that these Days ? You hardly get what you pay for, but this is not the case here - YOU REALLY GET MUCH MORE THAN WHAT YOU PAY FOR - Just try these DVDS, I'm sure you will agree ! (again IMHO)
Anyways then, I sincerely and truly recommend Desi Serna's products to every serious Guitar student. Just have a look at the points I've mentioned above and decide for yourself... I'm sure you would easily agree with all of the above, once you study from these materials.
Another thing which I feel is very important to say here is - Please note that the above review / message is my own and honest thoughts about Desi serna's materials (which I truly love and I'm proud to say). Please also note that I dont intend to Butter-Up or Promote anybody's products (Why would I, I'm not even paid for this...lol (just kidding..)
I also understand the value of Money and I believe that anybody's money, is after all hard earned/saved money - i really wouldnt like to mis-guide anybody or encourage anybody to waste money on un-imporatnt things - I have done a lot on other materials. Considering all this, I honestly say that one can confidently invest in Desi Serna's DVDs and books - if you want GREAT EDUCATION, VALUE FOR MONEY etc all in a single package - YOU WILL GET IT and I'm sure you will agree...
Ok then, I hope all this helps - I also want to say that I'm sorry if I sound very excited or kiddish in this Review or if I've said anything wrong/ inappropriate - infact, I AM EXCITED about these DVDs and I'm grateful for them !
Thanks for Reading the review - I wish everybody all the best in their Musical careers and education !
Regards and Care
Kush (India)
