Key Changes Chord Extensions Circle of Fifths About the Actor Musician, Educator and Author Mark John Sternal began teaching his trademark method to private guitar students in 1991. He was only 17, with one year left of High School before he would attend Richard Daley College in Chicago. By 1994 Mark relocated to Florida, and with him came the manuscript of his first book. The piece was titled Total Scales Techniques and Applications, which Mark sold to his private students. One afternoon a student's friend came into the music store where Mark was teaching. He explained that he had seen the manuscript and wanted to purchase one for himself. This transaction sparked the idea to put the manuscript up for sale online. The manuscript sold so well that Mark was able to quit his 'other job' as a student loan consultant, and pursue music full time. By 2002, fueled by user feedback and testimonials, Mark's growing number of music instruction titles awarded him national recognition. In 2004 his proven methods became available to the retail music industry. For most of 2006 through 2008, MJS held the #1 best selling music instruction slot at some of the largest music and book stores in the United States. In March 2008 MJS Music & Entertainment introduces Mark's GUITAR DVD #1 Beginner Basics & Beyond. October 2008 introduced the BASS GUITAR DVD #1 Beginner Basics & Beyond.

A must have for beginner bassist
This man is an excellent teacher. As a beginner bassist, there are so many unanswered questions. John Sternal tries his best to help you understand . God knows how many books I have bought to help me understand music theory on bass guitar. Very simple stuff but if you don't have good direction it could be frustrating. I am so happy I bought this DVD. He covers rhythm, intervals, tells what a melody is, what is a harmony, explains the circle of fifths which I had no clue how to use, chord extensions, key changes, triads and beyond because he explains how many sharps or flats is in each 12 notes scale pattern . Good stuff. This is a must have for beginner to intermediate bass players. Having a strong foundation is extremely important . And I am very grateful for this DVD. I am a very inquisitive player, I simply just don't want to play, I want to understand what I am doing and why this or that.

I like the guitars, but to teach they way he does it would be nice to show fret markers!

Really good dvd
I had been searching for books with accompanying cd/dvd and bought this by accident. It focuses on the absolute basics and is great for a beginner. Not as good if you have a music background.

Do not buy this
Item says its brand new but it is a cheap homemade disc with a thin case. I have bought this item before and had it stolen so I figured I would buy another disc so I picked this one thinking it was legit but to my surprise it looks like someone took a blank CD you can buy from Walmart printed out the DVD picture glued it on the CD and stuck it in a cheap case and trying to sell it on here as the real DVD.
