Hosted by guitar instructor Susan Mazer, this program from Alfred Publishing is designed for viewers who've never picked up a guitar. Released in 2000, Guitar for the Absolute Beginner features lessons on everything from the parts of the guitar and how to hold it to basic chords, power chords, and fingerpicking. With up-close shots of the instructor's hands and step-by-step instruction, the producers claim the program will have students playing along to songs almost immediately.
