ROCK GUITAR SERIES!
Learn rock classics the fun way!

GENERAL SERIES INFO:
This DVD contains a series of lessons from a regular guy who is also a guitar teacher with 30 years experience playing, writing and teaching.  The goal was to create a series of fun instructional videos each of which are the equivalent of many individual private lessons.  The emphasis is on easy to follow lessons, light on ego and flashy production techniques but full of instructional value: showing, teaching and explaining rhythm and lead lines to some of the worlds greatest classic rock tunes.  This series of DVD's personalizes the process and covers each lesson completely through demonstrations, explanation and close up views of the fingerings.  You progress at your own pace - playing easier parts first and picking up more each time you play it!

This DVD series includes lessons that are designed to benefit a wide ranges of ages and abilities.  Good basic guitar abilities are a prerequisite of this series and it is gear toward a range within the intermediate category. Early intermediate students can find months of material to work on in each DVD - starting on easier songs and working up to the more difficult.  The more experienced players may still find surprises in the easier material or just move more quickly to the more advanced details of the chords, riffs and leads.  This series does NOT include any TAB or written material - its designed to teach thru visual and audio instruction and demonstration.  By watching and playing along with guitar in hand, the student is also training his ear with the ultimate goal of being able to pick out songs on their own.  (The series focus is on the fingering hand, while picking hand shots are included when deemed necessary, most basic strumming and individual note picking is understood at this level.)

NOTES ON Steve Miller DVD
Great Rhythms, Riffs & Songs!

Steve Miller is known for great songs and excellent tasty guitar parts, but not for excessive self-indulgent soloing.  Generally the basic chords for most songs are not a very difficult that could be played by newer players on acoustic or electric but there are also some very cool guitar parts that are not for the newer player and require some lead skills.  I was surprised at how many styles could be covered and the selected songs go from the well known Blues, Funk, and Pop of his biggest hits, to the Country/Bluegrass of Dance Dance Dance and great Rockabilly guitar of Heart Like a Wheel.  While the use of leads are always complimentary to the song and never just for the sake of wanking, some of these classic songs are great beds for soloing so I also discuss improvised soloing over changes where none existed on the original version.  The Joker has a great slide solo which is best done in Open Tuning but also show how it would be done in Standard tuning which helps to demonstrate why open tuning is so great for slide.   So while this DVD is good for newer players who just want to play the basic changes, there should also be enough challenging material for even more advanced players to benefit from.
