"This DVD by John Pizzarelli is an inside look at how he plays. It also includes some of the tips he attributes to his father, Bucky. The chapters are laid out nicely focusing on different aspects of his playing. If you have a 7-string guitar like I do, you'll appreciate seeing how he plays some of the chords he uses regularly, but you would appreciate the lessons on a six-string as well. Now I can see how John approaches a tune, whether it's chord solos, comping, improvising, backing up a singer or constructing Intros and Outros.

Overall it's very much like you are there with John getting a private lesson. If you've seen him in concert you know that his delivery is always fun! That helps when you play each lesson again and again!"

Answers many questions about his style of playing

"A Good Guitar lesson . John gives an overview of his approach to guitar playing (always having fun), playing single lines, playing chord melodies, playing his and Bucky's style of rhythm guitar, How to voice and play while backing up a singer, simple but effective intro's and outro's and turnarounds. The video was clear, concise and informative."
