This review is from: Acoustic Guitar Soloing (DVD)

This DVD is definitely intermediate level stuff. He starts with a quick review of the 5 basic scale patterns, pentatonic, blues, and diatonic, plus the related chords. If you've read Fretboard Logic this will be familiar. Then a quick review of which scales go with which chords. Nice. Then arpeggios and how to use them. Also nice. Then he puts theory in action by teaching some very nice country and blues licks, then some Brazilian and a pop tune with altered chords. Just a very pleasant DVD, full of good info and nice tunes. Mr Findlay has a very breezy teaching style. The licks work on electric guitar as well. Lots of info in a short time. One of the best guitar teaching DVDs I've seen. And the price is right.

This DVD is great in helping you get a grasp on soloing on acoustic. All styles and techniques are reviewed, with plenty of examples and such to keep you occupied.

Same thoughts as on his Finger picking Dvd. I am just not a fan of this guys teaching style....some good info but hard to grasp unless you pretty much already know how to do it. The videos seem to be very low budget and poorly produced..for my money...go with Pete Huttlinger or Stefen Grossman if you really want to learn from videos.
