Joe is a very relaxed and easy to follow instructor. He breaks things down into small bite-sized pieces that are easy to follow and digest. In this course, whether you are picking up the guitar for the first time or the millionth, there is surely something you can learn from him. It starts with the basics of guitar, so if you're new you're not going to get lost right off the bat, and if you already know the basics you could just as well jump ahead to where he dives into fingerstyle, though I still found some useful bits to add to my knowledge by humoring the intro lessons, myself. I would highly recommend this course for anyone who wants to get into fingerstyle guitar.
