A great How-To guide to the world of effects, May 11, 2003
This review is from: Getting the Sounds, Classic Guitar Effects (DVD)
How many times have you listened to a record and wondered "How did they make a guitar sound like that?" or have you walked into a guitar store and said "What does that gadget do?" Well, this DVD does exactly that. It shows you what each major type of effect is, and how it works.
I was a total guitar novice when I ordered this DVD. After I watched the DVD, was able to truly understand what they were talking about and knew exactly what effects were for me.

Great advice for beginners from a master craftsman, October 14, 2006
This review is from: Getting the Sounds, Classic Guitar Effects (DVD)
If you're fairly new to guitar sounds, overwhelmed by all the pedal choices on the market, and (like me) reluctant to try any out in a music store, this DVD gives you some great insights into how the basic pedals - overdrive, chorus, compressor, wah wah and others - sound and work. I now understand for the first time how I might be able to get some of my favourite guitar sounds from just a few basic pedals.
And Nick Nolan is definitely the guy to show you. Not only is he a jaw-droppingly good guitar player (really, forget effects, I'd keep this video just to try to pick up some playing tips), but he also explains it all in a very clear and helpful way. All skill and knowledge, and zero rock star attitude. Very professional, very helpful, and very inspiring.
