A number one teaching tool for the rockabilly genre.Paul breaks it all down nice and easy giving you everything you need to get that authentic feel in your playing.I heard about this dvd from all the rave reviews on the gretsch pages forum and decided to give it a whirl.It is everything they say and more.Much to my surprise i found out he lives in my town.After seeing a few of his shows i whould say he is easily one of the premier guitarists in the billy\swing\bob genre.If you were to buy only one instructional dvd,this would be it.

Rockabilly guitar is not an easy style to master, and any beginner to the guitar will struggle. However if you really want the good stuff this is the DVD to buy, my other recommendation would be the similar titles by Jim Weider.
Please, please, please avoid the title by Troy Dexter, who trys to simplfy the process so much it no longer sounds like Rockabilly, for more look at my review of the product.

Another review stated that the video could use some tab - the complete tab is included on the dvd as a pdf. If you don't have a pc there is a link you can use to download the tab. Great video. Highly recommended. I hope Paul put's out more Rockabilly videos.

pretty good production. i liked it enough to pick up the travis picking dvd. i haven't practiced with it much yet, but it seems better taught than the brian setzer hotlicks tutorial from the 80's

Paul Pigat is one of the best rockabilly guitar instructor's out there! I am very happy with the progress I have made following all his DVD's. Thank you Paul.

Out of all of the rockabilly guitar video lessons that I own this is the absolute best! Paul Pigat teaches some of the best classic rockabilly licks in a wonderfully slow and clear style. I am actually learning great material and I feel like I am getting better at playing rockabilly guitar. Thanks to Paul Pigat.

Very well done. Difficult material to learn but with a seat next to the rewind button most intermediates will get it. Great info on tone and equip too.

Probably the best Rockabilly DVD out there! Very thorough instruction and twang nasty material. Not recommended so much for the beginner as it requires some practice and skill to nail the exercises. It has helped kick start my feel for the genre of rockabilly and I would recommend it to all who want to do the same. I would also get his Travis Picking DVD as well seeing as the style plays out greatly in Rockabilly.

This video gives you lots of moveable pieces and lets you create on your own after you learn them. It is thoroughly explained and tab is available in pdf. format if you insert the disc in your computer. Great licks and solos and well explained...what more could you ask for?

Paul Pigat is an excellent instructor. Clear, concise, and useful tips. He covers a lot of territory in this one DVD - enough to keep anyone busy for a while.

It's intended for intermediate to advanced players. Someone just starting out would probably get frustrated, because it moves along pretty quickly. But I found it to be a good pace.

If you want to add some Rockabilly licks to your playing - get this DVD. You won't regret it.
