(initial description)
Hi there - welcome to the first vidcast/vodcast of
learning how to play the guitar. There are 6 audio
podcast sessions which you can hear, but that was
really only a test run before I could get the video's
uploaded.

These clips are part of a DVD that you can get at www.IWantToPlayGuitar.com along with the book,
or for the budget option, 'the download' where you
get the whole book via Pdf, and 6 movies.

A firm believer in customer choice, you could also
get a hard copy pocket book AND the DVD via
EBAY at:
http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/jazziejane

My full time occupation and passion has always
been to try and make the learning of this amazing
instrument as accessible as possible, for everyone.
I have been teaching and playing guitar for over
20 years, and currently teach 130 students a week
mostly in primary schools. I have had this long to
hone and perfect this method - and the tweaking
continues to make it as effective as I can!
Although I have written this method with the
7-12's in mind, if that age group can understand it..
anyone can!
Please feel free to feedback with any suggestions
in how I can make it even better -
