Music and the guitar are complicated enough without all the gobbledygook. Kirk uses plain English, graphics, videos and sound bytes to explain it all.
You'll learn the basics of Music theory and how it all applies to the guitar. You will also learn all the techniques you will need as a guitarist.
All the content is free except for the videos. There are close to 100 movies, over 2 hours viewing, all split frame showing both hands and a virtual fretboard that tracks all the moves. To view the videos, all you need to do is buy a movie pass for 25 bucks, good for all time.

If you're a little further down the track with your playing, check out Kirk's fingerstyle lessons. There's nothing quite as satisfying as weaving a bass line, melody line and chord fragments together into one piece of music. Kirk's lessons range from folk, through classical, blues and even jazz.
All the lessons consist of a split-screen video which includes the virtual fretboard, tablature, notation, explicit written commentary, mp3 and GuitarPro files. You will even find some slide guitar lessons there. Check out the free lessons first, the others are available as downloads for not much more than a cup of coffee.
