Detail 01
Book plus DVD
The video shows fretting hand, picking and posture — the things a page can't show clearly at a beginner stage.

AlfredMAX Guitar Complete (Book/DVD)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Beginner guitar method combining a book with a DVD. For someone starting from zero who wants to see technique demonstrated, not just read it.
Strong match
Who this is for
- First guitar, learning alone without a teacher
- Learners who need to watch hand position, not read about it
- Parents setting up a kid with structured practice
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who already know chords and strumming patterns
- Anyone wanting jazz, metal or other style-specific study
- People with no way to play a DVD
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
"Complete" edition
Bundled progression rather than a single starter level, so you're not buying a book two next month.
Detail 03
Method book format
Sequenced lessons that build in order. Skipping ahead breaks the progression, unlike a reference book.
Detail 04
Entry-level content
Starts at holding the instrument and basic chords, so nothing is assumed going in.
Detail 05
$24.99
Roughly one lesson's cost for a full self-study course, if you actually work through it.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Needs a DVD drive or player — many laptops no longer have one
- 02No guitar, tuner, picks or strap included
- 03Get the guitar set up and in tune first, or early lessons frustrate
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this for acoustic or electric?
It's a general guitar method, so the fundamentals — chords, strumming, hand position — apply on either. Amp and effects topics aren't the focus.
02Can I use the book without the DVD?
Yes, the book stands on its own. You lose the demonstrations, which are the main reason to pick this over a book-only method.
03Do I need to read music?
No. A beginner method starts you from nothing and introduces notation as it goes.
04How long until I can play a song?
Depends entirely on practice. Daily short sessions beat weekend marathons — most people get simple chord songs going within a few weeks.
