The DVD's you have might be good, but can you ask them questions and get real answers like you can here on GT?
I can tell you that for me, I went about a year or more trying to learn guitar from free internet sites, DVD's, books..pretty much gave up due to how boring it became.
Then a few weeks ago I picked up my guitar and wanted to learn how to play it, this time really learn how to play it.
Got myself a member ship here at GT, and have learned more in the past 2 or 3 weeks than I did in a year of free sites, books and DVD's.
Just my 2 cents.
