Editorial Reviews

When you hear Peter Huttlinger on recordings or in concert it’s no mystery why he won the National Fingerpicking Competition in Winfield, Kansas, or why he is quickly becoming a powerful force in the acoustic guitar world. Pete’s picking is clean, soulful and, at times, blazingly fast. Whether he’s playing his arrangement of a classic pop tune or one of his own compositions, listeners are inevitably startled by what they hear.

Pete starts with the lyrical Lennon/McCartney tune "And I Love Her," played on a nylon string guitar. This richly textured but relatively easy piece will get you set up for the challenges that follow.

Next, Pete takes the classic Steely Dan song "Josie" and builds up a powerful rendition complete with moving bass parts, jazz chord formations and a funky groove that doesn’t quit. Then it’s on to "Brown Bomber," Pete’s fingerpicking tour de force that will give you an incredible workout while you learn cascading runs across the entire range of the fingerboard.

Switching to a flatpick and DADGAD tuning, Pete teaches "Catch and Release," the title tune to one of his popular CDs and one that is rich in a variety of ear-catching guitar sounds.

As you’ve come to expect, Peter Huttlinger’s teaching style is clear, methodical and personable. He imparts musical knowledge and playing tips while going through these show-stopping instrumentals. This lesson will provide months of intense study and dramatic pieces to play.

4.0 out of 5 stars Solo Accoustic Guitar - Peter Huttliger DVD #1, November 5, 2006

This review is from: DVD-Arrangements For Solo Acoustic Guitar (DVD)

DVD had some good tunes on it. I preferred the songs presented in the 2nd DVD by Peter Huttlinger in this series, due to the fact that it seemed to have a few more songs at the intermediate level of play. The instruction on this DVD was clear, organized and to the point. The written music notation and tablature was written in an easy to read manner. The paper music score provided with the DVD contained several songs and was small enough to easily fit into a guitar case. This DVD has songs that would be playable by advanced players and one or two songs that would be playable by an intermediate level player.

It's a thrill to listen to Pete Huttlinger, and even more so when you can watch him play, which is why I love the DVD versions. One of the best guitarists you will ever hear!
This disk is aimed at finger-style guitarists or wannabees like me, but anyone who loves guitar music won't be disappointed either.
