Hal Leonard Guitar Play-Along DVDs Showcase The Beatles, The Doors & Classic Metal Tunes

Hal Leonard Corporation presents the three latest volumes in its cutting-edge Guitar Play-Along DVD series. Classic Metal, Lennon & McCartney and The Doors will all be available at Summer NAMM. Guitar Play-Along DVDs feature multiple camera angles, on-screen tab, and performance tips so guitarists can see and hear how to play their favorite songs, to learn them more easily than ever before. Each volume teaches eight complete songs representing the best of the band or genre. Each song on the DVD starts with a lesson from a professional guitar teacher. Then, the teacher performs the complete song along with professionally recorded backing tracks. Viewers can decide to turn the guitar off if they want to play along, or leave the guitar in the mix to hear how the part should sound. They can choose from three viewing options — fret hand with tab, wide view with tab, pick & fret hands close-up — and use their DVD remote to easily change options at anytime. Guitarists can also pause or watch the video in slow motion to help them learn.
