This Book and DVD combo is a good way to start! I find when watching the DVD I really don't have time to look at the book, which is OK since I don't really need the book then. The DVD pretty much covers everything in the same order as the book. So you can refer to the book later to review parts you are having issues learning or mark your review points in the book.The DVD moves pretty quickly and before you know it you'll be playing some simple songs just fine and then suddenly, WHAM! You hit "Amazing Grace" or something else and find you are getting lost. No problem, back up a bit and review all you need to.So far as I've been able to tell there is not another product package quite like this with a book/DVD combo. There are books with audio CD's but this DVD works better, especially if you are a visual learner like me.The instructor, Bert Casey uses very gentle and effective teaching. He is clearly experienced and the course is fairly well organized.Even though I'm not a rank beginner having plowed through lots of the free online tutorials, I have picked up a couple of tips from Mr. Casey that were worth the cost of the course to me already. Very good stuff here and it is a pleasant enough experience. Skilled players aren't going to benefit from it much, but if you are a skilled player you aren't looking at a Uke Primer anyway.What you wind up with at the end of this course is enough basic skill to buy a song book of modern popular music and chord your way through most of the songbook easily. I don't think you could really expect more. This video course and book won't turn you into a virtuoso overnight, but you'll get better faster with it than without it.
