Amazing Guitar Secrets Review

Amazing Guitar Secrets is a DVD Guitar course for beginners. The course is not really about any 'secrets' at all but is geared for guitar newbies that want to get up and running on the guitar as quick as possible at a reasonable price.

Dan Denley, the author of Amazing Guitar Secrets has a degree in music, been involved in a number of musical bands, and is a guitar instructor. Dan Denley is a likable teacher, and explains guitar concepts quite well.

Features

The Amazing Guitar Secrets course comes sealed and nicely packaged in a good sized box. We rated the overall production quality of Amazing Guitar Secrets a 7 out of 10. The DVDs were well produced, though they have a couple of shortcomings. Firstly, a split view of the right and left hand is an essential part of a guitar training video, but was strangely absent. A minor nitpick is the DVD menus for some reason were overlooked and honestly look like they were made by someone who was just learning to use Windows Paint.

The CD-ROM that is included with the course contains audio examples of most of the material in the books, and the jam tracks, (if you decide to get the upgraded version) The jam tracks are great, though they don't have any other instrumental accompaniment besides the guitar. You can't play along solo either if you wanted to either which is too bad.

Some of the topics covered: Parts of a guitar, stringing, tuning, playing and reading tabs, intervals, major and minor scales, chord building, modes, bends, vibrato, hammer on/offs, tapping, tremelo picking, sliding palm muting, trills, barre chords,

The 400+ page coiled workbook (not pictured above) includes all the textual learning material. It contains a Progress Tracker that we recommend you use, the main Amazing Guitar Secrets Guide Book, and mini-books including, 20 Strength and Agility Exercises, Guitar Theory Made Easy, Quick and Easy Way to Play Rhythms, Mastering the Major and Minor Scales, and more...

In our opinion, the pace of Amazing Guitar Secrets in was a touch too fast. Therefore those who are already a somewhat familiar with the guitar may benefit more from the course.

Support / Warranty

Amazing Guitar Secrets comes with the assurance of a 90-day 100% money-back guarantee if for any reason you are unhappy with the course. Returning the course is required.

You'll have access to Amazing Guitar Secrets via email, phone and a decent sized members only forum.

Ease of Use

No real problems other than those mentioned above. Since the binder has multiple mini-books inside, it can be hard to find a particular place. In the CD-ROM, they included a .pdf copy of each book which is nice since you can take it with you wherever you go.

Setup/Compatibility

The Amazing Guitar Secrets DVDs are not region encoded. They will play on any standard DVD player. You will need a DVD player with speakers or headphones. Alternatively you can use a PC or Mac equipped with a DVD drive.

Price

When ordering Amazing Guitar Secrets, you have two package options. When on sale, the 'Standard' package goes for $97 and the 'Gold Edition' package goes for $127. The only difference is that the cheaper package doesn't come with one of the book sections or the 41 audio tracks.

One idea is you may want to buy the lesser expensive option of the two and get a membership to a online learning guitar site such as Jamplay or Guitar Tricks with the money you save. Note that the costs above don't include shipping.

You can easily place an order using a credit card, e-check or paypal.

Conclusion

If you get Amazing Guitar Secrets on sale, you can save a few bucks over Learn and Master Guitar. However Learn and Master and Guitar gets the nod over Amazing Guitar Secrets as there is much more much higher quality material and is presented in a clearer way.

Notwithstanding, Amazing Guitar Secrets is still a great DVD course for learning the guitar.
