The Project
The "Honky-Tonk Guitar Essentials" video course is a collection of some of the most common guitar solos used in classic country gigs.

PLUS - Steel Guitar Licks & the Blues Scale

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.

Tablature Book
The video comes with a 36 page book containing guitar tablature and standard music notation. It is a full-sized 8-1/2" x 11" book, so the tablature is easily readable. The book has a tablature explanation guide, scales reference, steel guitar tuning charts, and other useful resource information. Here is an example of the tablature.

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 or guitar intro is included with each track to synchronize you to the music. Here is a short sample of "Right or Wrong" rhythm tracks. You could use the rhythm tracks to record your own playing over the top of it.

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.
