The Project
The Guitar Styles of Roy Nichols Video is my tribute to Roy Nichols. I am
donating the proceeds of this project to the Nichols family. Roy is best known
as the guitarist for Merle Haggard for many years. I was greatly influenced
by Roy's playing.
The Video
This video takes a new approach to guitar instruction. It uses a close-up
birds-eye-view camera angle, just like you would see yourself play. The material
is played full speed as a demo like the picture on the right below, then the
birds-eye view is used when describing the notes in detail. The pictures below
are actual clips from the video.

DVD Format
The project was produced in digital video and is available on DVD-R only.
To save the cost of duplication fees, the DVD-R recordable format was chosen.

Tablature
Book
The video comes with a 35 page book containing guitar tablature and standard
music notation. The book has a history on Roy Nichols, a tablature explanation
guide, scales reference, diminished arpeggio pockets guide, and other useful
resource information. Here is an example of the tablature. Also, the harmony
structure of Stealin' Corn is broken down into chart form.
Rhythm Tracks
An audio CD is also included with rhythm tracks for each selection. This gives
you something to play along with, which helps timing development. A lead-in
click is included with each track to synchronize you to the music. Here is
a short sample of the rhythm tracks. You could
use the rhythm tracks to record along with your guitar and go back and play
the steel guitar notes over the top of it.
NEW - I have recently had requests for rhythm tracks of Stealin' Corn that have one guitar part on it. You can use those to play play harmony along with me. I also recorded a full audio version of Stealin' Corn. They were not offered on the original ryhthm tracks CD, so I have provided them here.
Stealin' Corn Full Version - Stealin' Corn Full Guitar Part Only - Stealin' Corn Steel Guitar Part Only
DVD Chapters
This DVD makes full use of DVD chapters. This allows you to quickly get random
access to any song on disc. For instance, the demonstration of the song at
full speed is on a DVD chapter, and the instructional section of the song
is on a chapter. You can set your DVD player to repeat any section. This ends
the task of rewinding the old VHS tape to only hope you get close to what
you want to see.
