4.0 out of 5 stars Good job teaching some pretty cool licks!, December 29, 2006

This review is from: Johnny Hiland: Chicken Pickin' Guitar (DVD)

Johnny's a great player, evidenced by some of the great live playing that is captured in the studio on this disc. He's also a really good teacher who takes the time to explain things and slow them down for you. I'm a fan of this style of music and if I compare this to the Brent Mason Nashville Chops video, which is also good, it's clear that though Johnny and Brent are both world class players, Johnny's a much better instructor. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who likes the chicken picken' style.

Bonus footage of Arlen jamming with Johnny --and with Danny Gatton's old bandmates in the rhythm section!

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent pickin', April 10, 2007

This review is from: Johnny Hiland: Chicken Pickin' Guitar (DVD)

This is basically a training DVD for advanced Guitar players. However, Johnny Hiland is a "jaw dropping" guitar player and although I'm not a guitar picker I am an experienced musician. Hiland is one of the finest musicians I've ever seen. He is a wonderful combination of technical skills, talent, and amazing musicianship. The DVD was worth the price just to see and hear him play his amazing music.

This review is from: Johnny Hiland: Chicken Pickin' Guitar (DVD)

I usually do not like lesson videos, This one really turned my head. I caught a couple clips of Johnny playing on you tube. Wow
this guy is amazing, great tone! smoking chops! and best of all pretty humble and likable guy. The video is more than the usual hey check this out lightning lick of the week. His playing is well described on the video and in the booklet, which includes tab and standard notation. I like to have both these days. Johnny also talks a bit about his influences and gives them credit (Danny Gatton, Albert Lee) As much as I like this lesson Video (and I really do like it) a little more theory would be cool,
Just a little why can make the learning easier. And this is not for stone cold beginners, If you can play pentatonic minor, blues scales you'll be ok with some work. It has given me a new love when playing.
