"I may be prejudiced by my love of Allman Bros music, but I really think that this is one of the best of the Hot Licks series. In case you don't know, these videos are basically private lessons by the world's best players. What would you pay for a lesson from this guy? They are packed with great licks and techniques and a really personal outline of the player's philosophy of the instrument. I have about 10 of the VHS's.

The Warren Haynes version finally gives me hope that I can play slide guitar. About half of it is just great blues insight. You will not be disappointed if you like this style of playing."

"I have alot of instructional dvd's on the blues and rock and this one by Warren Hayes is a must for anyone serious about learning to play GOOD blues guitar.I really liked his teaching style and his calm but knowlegable demeanor.The first part of the dvd shows you blues scales and bending technique which is so important, he also elaborates on how to think out your solos instead of throwing in as many notes as you can in a flurry of garble.The second part of the dvd is all about slide and the different ways to mute or hilite your notes using the palm of you hand and other styles like "Delta Blues".(he talks alot about Tone as well)



Other instructional dvd's i have purchased were either too hard or borring rehashes of tierd blues cliche's.This DVD will stick with you and help develop your own style.



Buy It."

"What a player and a super teacher, to boot (methodical and articulate). Slide has always been a struggle for me. Wish I had picked this up years ago because Warren quickly demystified it for me."

The best of the Hot Licks series!

"I own several of the hot licks DVD's and this one blew me away. It gives you a very broken down lesson on how to approach electric blues and especially how to play standard tuning slide. Haynes goes into great detail on how to play slide, as well as his own techniques on how to mute unwanted notes and how to bring out the best in the notes you do want. The looping options on the DVD are a great tool to help you nail down the licks he provides.
What I found most useful is how he actually plays longer licks here...not the normal 15 second or so lick and thats found on many other guitar instruction DVD's. The playing here is for more advanced players, but that does not mean that even beginners cannot get something out of this. He really gets into the playing and it only helps aspiring guitarists learn some great licks from one of the best players of our time."
