Well worth the price! Geoff tells you everything you'd want to hear in a private lesson - hand position, fingering pitfalls, best way to practice. The instructional DVD brings it all to the learner with utmost clarity. I am at the first song on the first accompaniment cd which allows me to play, albeit slooowly, with musical backup. For me, a big bonus is that I can watch the DVD on a huge TV, and see the tab clearly. I am visually impaired. Geoff Hohwald is a great teacher. Edited to add: Hurry and get this edition while the CDs are available. "Online access" for the audio and video lessons doesn't help you when you either can't burn a CD or just don't have internet.
