This is an instructional DVD featuring Jamie Humphries of Lick Library, which is an online guitar community featuring lessons, jamtrax, everything guitar basically. I really enjoyed Jamie as an instructor, he is concise and speaks clearly and is careful to show you the little nuances that are easy to miss. This is important because these lessons do not contain notation or tablature. This is not a downside for me, tablature is something that I used as a crutch for some time. It is detrimental to your playing, I set out to learn all the notes on the guitar and how to read music, it's helped tremendously in learning guitar theory. I was very happy to give up tablature, it can be a helpful tool, but if you feel like you can't learn something without it, like I once did, then it's time to ditch it all together. Also, you don't need it here. You have Jamie breaking down the songs in short parts, so you can learn them in small doses. He plays each part slowly and explains exactly what he is doing and where his fingers are, using the names of notes and the fret number for those that are not as familiar with the actual note names. I was literally playing along with him right away. It's so simple, you can back up if it's a tricky part, he even breaks up the solos into smaller parts so you can tackle them one section at a time. Seeing the solos played slowly is very helpful. The menu is easy to navigate, each song is separate and you can also separate each part, you can choose play all lessons, or play intro, verse, chorus first and save the solo and outro for later. You also get a performance choice, and Jamie will perform the song from beginning to end with a backing track so you can see it all put together. By the way these jam tracks are available on their website. I am not a member of the website, but I have ordered some of their jam tracks and it is very helpful to play with them, in regards to keeping time and just the overall experience of playing with a "band". One suggestion I would make for these DVD's, is that I would like to see them discuss tone. They cover bands like Maiden, Zeppelin, Hendrix, Van Halen in their DVD's and tone is a huge part of reproducing these songs. It is as essential as learning the notes. If you want to sample parts of this DVD you can view if on youtube on the official lick library page, that is where I saw some of it and that is what made me decide to buy. Hope this helps to decide if these lessons are for you. Up the Irons!!!!
