This interactive DVD deals with the basic musical elements guitarists need to clearly visualize and use the potential of their instrument. Many students memorize chords and scales as clusters of little black dots, without understanding the reason the chords are constructed and named as they are. The animated lessons and drills on Norm the Note: Essential Building Blocks for the Guitar help the beginning student and professional alike explore conventionally avoided areas of study.

The lessons use animation and video to show how to visualize the guitar in such a way that the traditional stumbling blocks in learning the guitar will disappear. Quizzes, drills, and play-alongs will guide your practice. If you are new to the guitar and seeking a path to learning to play through understanding rather than memorization, you have come to the right place. If you are an experienced musician wanting to break through limits on your skill and creativity, this DVD is also for you.
