I have seen Tommy live a couple of times and I have just about everything he has put out. He always comes across as being very passionate about the guitar. He has a great sence of humour and is fun to watch. I'd say this DVD is for those at a fairly advanced playing level but one that anyone who is appreciates watching one of the worlds best guitarists at work would enjoy. If you're looking for more basic instruction check out his "up close" and "guitar talk" DVD's.

The DVD itself has within complete songs and rough break down of the methodology and techique. Camera shots could be better. BUT the major problem is the lack of written tabs and/or standard music.

I know Tommy doesn't read much and certainly doesn't 'write' music, but someone could come up with tabs which would be a tremendous help and bring my rating to a 4 or better.

Thanks anyway Tommy. Still a very good effort, but not for the guitarist that wants to learn from an intermediate standpoint. He does show you some tricks and some technique which anyone can incorporate into their playing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well Done Tommy!, September 17, 2009

The way to use this video is to learn the song yourself using tab, utube, MP3 etc. Then watch the master play. You have to have some idea of the struture of the song. Then when you watch this video you will see the masters fingerings and other nuances. I could not ask for more. Keep it up Tommy!
