DVDs are a great way to learn guitar if a person is serious about learning. The point that should be remembered about learning guitar with DVDs is that there is nobody over you to force you to practice and learn which is why DVDs should be reserved for those who truly want to learn to play.

DVD guitar lessons are generally divided over several lessons that may cover guitar introduction, basic chords, and finally different styles of music. It is possible to buy DVD guitar lessons organized by genre if a person wanted to learn how to play jazz guitar as opposed to rock guitar. Most beginner guitar DVD courses will give the learner a solid foundation to pursue other genres of guitar playing.

So you’re sitting in front of an amp that’s cranked to the max for some searing over driven guitar sounds and you’re stuck trying to make the thing sound clean. The worst part is your amp is only a single channel model, so you can’t switch between clean and dirty.

You’ve got two options. I’ll offer the first one as the “easy” way, then the second as the “best sounding” way.

Option 1: Use a Distortion Stomp Box (Effects Pedal)

Ten thousand years ago humans discovered agriculture and the illusion of security that it gave drove them away from hunting and gathering and into the earth destroying practices which have gotten us where we are. It’s obvious to see why they would have liked what agriculture presented them with; the ability to have control and security. Having control over ones amount of food was the ultimate power. Starvation would be a thing of the past. Every day would be the best day, and there would be no suffering. Pain could be eliminated from life. Ever since those first seeds were sewn, humans have been increasingly seeking security and control in life. This security is really an illusion which, in the long run, does nothing to prevent suffering and reduces quality of life in the short term.

Why not start with Pixar.
