Woman to Woman Guitar Instruction Video/DVD
Comprehensive Guitar Instruction for Women and Men!

Woman to Woman Guitar is a unique guitar instructional video, designed for the guitar player who wants to acquire information that will open the doors to indefinite growth and knowledge of the guitar, regardless of style. Unlike most guitar instructional videos or DVD's which present a guitar "lesson", Woman to Woman Guitar is a comprehensive course of study which can take you from being a guitar player with basic skills to an expressive and accomplished guitarist. The DVD covers accompaniment styles and rhythm playing, lead playing, ear training, right hand technique (fingerpicking and flatpicking), and left hand technique. In addition, you will learn how to construct, play and use scales for riffs and leads. And, by giving you just the music theory that guitar players need, I am able to reveal the secret to soloing over changing harmonies.

I divided this instructional video/dvd into sections, which I intend for you to study separately and expand upon indefinitely. Within these sections, I provide tips and exercises to enable even a novice guitar player to quickly learn the guitar fretboard and to develop creativity as well as technique.

Most importantly, I tell you not only what to learn, but how to learn it. I have spent over thirty years developing methods to make learning the guitar straightforward and efficient, and I share these methods with you in Woman to Woman Guitar. I devoted an entire section of the instructional video to note reading and memorization skills, including the use of visualization and the internal ear.

In addition, I've added tips throughout on such topics as negotiating the guitar fretboard with small hands, avoiding injury and dealing with performance anxiety.

Guitar Instruction for Girls and Women

Although Woman to Woman Guitar is appropriate for both men and women, it is the first guitar instruction video/dvd designed to meet the physiological, psychological and practical needs of the female guitar player. As a female guitar player, I have encountered challenges ranging from the physical (injuries from playing guitars that were too large for me; carrying heavy instruments and equipment) to the psychological (working in a male-dominated field). I also experienced a void from the lack of a female role model. The first time I saw another woman playing jazz guitar, I was mesmerized! Although more women are playing guitar than ever before, we still need models, and we need to be able to talk about how we learn, how we work with other musicians and how we handle professional situations.

Guitar Instruction for Men

Men will profit equally from the solid instruction on Woman to Woman guitar instruction video. Some of the benefits to women, such as watching a woman’s hands as she plays, are irrelevant to men, as there are plenty of guitar instruction videos and dvd's that allow a man to watch another male guitarist’s hands. It is unlikely, however, that those guitar instruction videos will address ways to approach learning or avoid injury. Proper posture and body use while playing is crucial to the comfort and longevity of any guitarist, whether male or female. And, an understanding of music and knowledge of the instrument makes for good guitar playing. The amount of substantive information in Woman to Woman Guitar is hard to pass up for the price, even if there is a woman on the cover!

 Working on your own

If time or money constraints keep you from being able to take guitar lessons, or if you simply prefer working on your own, Woman to Woman Guitar is for you. For the price of one guitar lesson, you will have a complete course of study at your fingertips, any time of the day or night. And, if you have questions or need help, I’m available for continued support. For each video or dvd purchased from this site, I will include 15 minutes of free telephone consultation or answer two questions by email. If you continue to want input as you work through the  material, you can make an appointment here for lessons by telephone or email. 

Working with a teacher

If you are working with a teacher, Woman to Woman Guitar will be invaluable to you. My students use the video to help them structure their practice and to provide close-up examples which they can view repeatedly. The video also provides a broad overview of the path to becoming a complete guitarist. Plus, when you purchase from this site, you'll get the same free support mentioned above. When you know where you are going, it’s a lot easier to get there!
