NEW - IN PROGRESS & PLANNED STUFF: 

July:  

CLAPTON 2010.  Some of the oldest DVDs were done with older equipment and not designed for the range of levels and accuracy contained in the current DVDs.  Clapton was one of the very first DVDs and was in bad need of being reworked.  I love these songs and felt they needed to be completely redone with newer equipment and the attention to detail that they deserve.  I believe its now more accurate, complete with better quality video.  It also contains updated audio compression with better resolution and I am very happy with this DVD.   Unfortunately I'm not able to give a free copy to everyone who may have bought the previous version in the last 5 years, but anyone who recently purchased it at retail price can contact me directly about possibly some kind of pro-rated discount on the new version. 

Stevie Ray Vaughan vol.1 2010. Also: Full Remake of originial SRV v1 DVD. Available Soon.

Recent Requests: Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa, Billy Idol, Frank Marino, ZZ Top, Greenday, Pink Floyd2, Kiss, Huey Lewis, Manfred Mann, Nazareth, James Taylor, CSNY,  Janis Joplin & Holding Co, Joan Jett, Pretenders, Heart, HeadPins (Canada), The Cars, Cheap Trick, Trower, SRV, Foo Fighters, Styx, Kansas... Plus Shredders like Alvin Lee, Rory Gallager, Steve Morse, Montrose, Eric Johnson (which maybe outside the parameters & abilities of this series;).

Thanks to all!  Rock on! :)

General Stuff: 

In between DVD continue working on long-term projects such as revising, reediting & redoing some of the very early DVDs in the catalogue. I've always intentionally tried to keep these very informal with the appearance of a live 1-on-1 lesson, but some of early stuff could use a little trim to help streamline certain lessons.  I started off trying to gear these a little bit more for newer players but then based on requests I began adding more on leads to try to target them at a wider range of intermediate levels.  But still will be attempting to keep up with the normal 10-12 new DVD's per year.  Thank you all very much!

HOW TO DECIDE ON NEW DVDS:

So much good stuff still to do, its always hard to decide on the next one.  First and foremost I have to try to use my own judgement. I try hard to look at songs that have guitar parts that I think are great and represent a certain style.  I do try to choose some different things - often times doing songs I didn't really care for but its important to stretch out your playing beyond your comfort zone. Of course my own familiarity with material and current access to the originals does have an effect on my selections as well as how quickly it can be done. I love input and do evaluate type and number of requests, the popularity of the material, and use a specific set of standards to determine if something fits in the series. 

Please do not take it personally if your request isn't done next - I love all requests but not all can be done. There are some things that may not work well for this series - like things that are so lead or speed intensive that it would require a full DVD for 1-2 songs or may only be useful for very advanced players.  While there are some things I personally love, there may be some that I am not familiar enough with or do not think I could do proper justice.  All these things go into consideration and do make choosing very hard - but eventually I would like to do a little bit on almost everything!  So keep sending me suggestions, feedback and stay tuned!

Thanks! 

ALLMAN BROS:  I've had a lot of requests for them understandably but they asked me not to teach their stuff.  (Actually it was just family members that own some songs but I partially do this just to help keep the music alive with new generations of musicians so if anyone has any problem with the material being taught I gladly agree.)
