Musician's Friend has a 3-DVD set that teaches literally everything you'd learn from years of private lessons. It starts with the very basics (names and functions of guitar parts, tuning, etc.), moves into chords and scales, has lessons on reading tablature, and eventually teaches how to write complicated riffs and solos. I bought the DVD set after having played guitar professionally for more than 20 years and can't believe how comprehensive and helpful it is. The set costs $40, compared to about $20 for a single half-hour lesson. I'll post a link to the set, as well as the electric set because that one has more reviews. They're both produced by the same company and feature the same teacher, though, so the reviews of the electric one will give you a good idea about the quality of the DVD program.

Answer
Hi, Matt- I've been playing and teaching on the side for 20+ years, so I'm going to give you some of the basic truths of learning the guitar:

First, learn to play the music you like to listen to. If you like folk, start with an acoustic. If you want to rock, get a good basic electric- almost any of the 'starter kits' will work by Fender, Ibanez, etc.

1- Start with a live instructor- learn the basics from a real human-not a DVD. Nothing beats the give-and-take with a teacher. You don't have to go to the local music store once a week- I've had students trade lawnmowing and babysitting for lessons. You can also find someone in the neighborhood or at school who plays-make an informal arrangement to help you get started.

2-Once you know the basics, find another player at about your skill level- share the music/tab/chords for a song or two. Get familiar with the material, and meet for a jam session- you'll improve much faster than if you were doing it alone. Record your jam sessions to see what you can do better next time. Remember this-Humans are social animals, and music is a social activity- I can t stress this enough. If you stay in your room and prcatice alone, you'll lose interest and won't go very far.

Good Luck!

P.S A good guitar magazine designed for beginners is Play Guitar!
