This item seems just perfect to me, it was just what I wanted to show me the techniques and style of a guitar hero of mine, the songs are all from a period in time when my hero was at his best. The early years of PETER GREEN. this shows how to play with emotion, not just how to play the notes but the techniques of using spaces between the notes. And best of all, bought at a price much cheaper than a brand new DVD in the shops

On the plus side - the breakdown of licks is excellent, with every track broken down and featured in great detail. The examples and performances are played with great expertise and sensitivity - and clearly with a huge amount of respect for Peter Green.
Still on the plus side - the camera angle is excellent for seeing where the fingers are placed on the fretboard. There is also a small box bottom right of the screen where you see a smaller view of what the right hand does. This is less useful for lead demos but is handy for rhythm where the different uses of up and down strokes are clearly seen.
-------------------------------------------------
BUT, on the down side - there is a total absence of simple fretboard diagrams which show chord shapes or 'boxes' for each lick. I've seen these on other tutors and they are invaluable for beginners and intermediate player. Neither is there any form of booklet insert with diagrams or tab.
Also on the down side - it really helps if you are already familiar with both common and more unusual chord names as these are mentioned with some frequency.
-------------------------------------------------
So - on balance - this DVD is an excellent resource but there IS also a separate tutor available which comes with a book and TAB. Look for 'In Session with Peter Green: (Guitar Tab)'. I suggest you have a look at that product before you finally decide what to buy. It is on this Amazon website.

If,like me, you think that Peter Green was the greatest blues guitarist of all time, you should consider buying this DVD. It covers a selection of Green's finest songs and the lessons work through them phrase by phrase note by note with the intention of enabling you to reproduce them yourself. Although you are encouraged not to simply copy them slavishly but to interpret them yourself.
The one downside to the DVD is that it can't compensate for a complete lack of talent on the part of the viewer. But I suppose that that was asking too much.
