ASK brings you more than 15 years of teaching experience in John Maurice Doyle, who applies his tried and true techniques used in his professional life as an in-demand player, instructor, and music coach. Doyle's easy-going style makes learning fast and fun. Any chapter on any DVD can be easily referenced for refreshing your chops or finding topics you need work on. Five volumes combine to make up a comprehensive guitar course with more than 11 hours of video and audio instruction on DVDs and the accompanying jam-along CDs.

In Volumes 1 and 2, Doyle starts at the beginning, taking no shortcuts in presenting the foundation for solid guitar playing. Notes, scales, chords, progressions, and emphasis on right and left hand technique comprise Volume 1. Volume 2 adds transposition, rhythm and leads playing, harmony, Blues licks, Funk rhythms and builds on technique with hammer-ons and pull-offs.

Monster Guitar Method Volume 3 is geared towards intermediate players, packed with intervals, building scales (scale spelling) and advancing scales (harmonic minor, major pentatonic). It will show you how to progress beyond bar chords using triads like Jimmy Page, Joe Walsh, Pete Townshend, Jimi Hendrix, Dave Grohl, Billy Corgan and many more. Volume 3 introduces more options for songwriting such as arpeggios, and inversions.
