Steve Krenz’s Learn and Master Guitar program is a premier guitar learning program available in the market today. The 20 professionally produced DVDs, 110 high-quality jam-along tracks and the lesson book provide you with everything right from the basics to the most advanced guitar playing techniques in the most structured and systematic manner.
This excellent program is the brainchild of an accomplished guitarist named Steve Krenz. He has a degree in music and has several publications to his credit on various aspects of ‘excellence in musicianship’. He is equipped with the best music theory and is a successful guitarist, who has been working for many years touring with popular bands and performing in front of live audiences. He is gifted with a rare quality of teaching music to people who have passion for it. He teaches guitar to thousands of students across the United States. Not only this, he even conducts workshops on guitar playing and music within and outside the United States.
His DVD series Learn and Master Guitar is an effort to fulfill his passion of educating other guitar enthusiasts of all ages and all skill levels about the instrument that he loves so dearly – the GUITAR. In this program, he uses a highly effective multi-sensorial approach to teaching, which facilitates a more effective learning.
The 20 professionally produced full-length DVDs contain 20 sessions of 20 hours each, which contain verbal instructions accompanied by video demonstrations (with close-up shots of the right and left hands and finger movements of the instructor, in addition to the on-screen guitar
tabs) in order to explain each concept with greater clarity.
The 5 Jam-along CDs, containing more than 100 Jam-along tracks (comprising of popular songs and free guitar licks), allow the learner to jam-along with a real band. Steve has been very considerate to the beginners by making the music tracks available in slow and medium pace, in addition to the normal pace as this helps the learner to practice his preferred pace. For the more confident intermediate and advanced level guitarists, Steve provides the rare opportunity to solo with the band by turning the lead guitar track mute, so that the guitarist can enjoy the real life experience of playing along with a band. This method has been widely appreciated for its innovativeness as well as for its effectiveness as it helps inculcate versatility of style and technique within the learner.
The professional guidance and support offered through the online student support portal is something unique and really commendable. Learners can share their frustrations and challenges faced during the learning phase, post their queries and most importantly, seek advice, guidance and tips on various aspects of guitar playing. This is a very vibrant community, with many co-learners jumping in to help struggling learners with their encouragement and advice. Very often, Steve himself provides the most logical suggestion and technical responses to the queries posted. He even initiates interesting threads of conversations on guitar playing. Such a live and vibrant support mechanism keeps up the motivation level in the students and sustains their interest levels. The member specific website offers a large library of supplemental files containing some of the best guitar licks, popular songs together with music notations and guitar tabs, guitar playing tips and tricks, etc.
The 108 page detailed printed lesson book (containing several additional songs, guitar licks and exercises for practice) relieves the learner from the monotony associated with continuous learning from the video lessons. This is a very thoughtful addition from Steve, especially meant for those people who do not like to learn through DVDs.
So, as you can see, there is something unique for every single category of learner to benefit from, though this program.
