Good Low Cost Christmas Guitar Video
Tommy Anthony is the instructor here in the first SongXpress Christmas edition. The pace of this video is reasonably quick - if you're comfortable with playing, and navigating through all the basic open chords, you shouldn't have a problem. If you're a guitarist who isn't totally comfortable with switching basic chords quickly, however, you'll probably need to spend some time rewinding the tape, and reviewing the material.
Songs included on the video are played using basic chords, with some additional "licks" and intros included, for more experienced players.
There is a strange, "overexposed" look to the video quality, that doesn't affect the quality of the instruction at all, but it is somewhat off putting at first, and bears mentioning.
