Pete Huttlinger is not only a fingerstyle award winning guitarist, he is also a studio musician, performer (his CDs are wonderful) and toured with John Denver.This DVD simply is his practice motif --something that unlocks doors to better playing.I cannot see how a guitarist could not improve if he takes Pete's methods to heart.He not only presents scales, but very specific and strict manners to play them in order to improve finger strength.He is methodical, dedicated, and simply assumes that you have purchased this DVD to improve.He is not entertaining, though his personality is engaging, but very serious.This DVD is for the dedicated guitarist who wishes to improve without short cuts so that later, there will be no "holes" in his playing.I love this DVD and use it about once per week, as if it were a private lesson.I practice all week what Pete has taught, and then go back to the DVD 7 days later.It is my routine (I also use his DVDs learning the songs of John Denver) where I use several Homespun DVDs as my "teachers" with Pete's being like an athlete training.When I learned ice hockey, I enjoyed playing more than anything else.But the drills I did, over and over, were, eventually, put to use in games where I noticed dramatic improvement in a few short years.Pete's DVD is athletic training for the hands.You will be a better guitarist, in just a few months, if you dedicate yourself to practicing with a purpose....this is not about just picking up a guitar and practicing without a plan.
Get everything Homespun has to offer from Huttlinger, and pick up his CDs to increase not only your appreciation of fingerstyle guitar, but to relax and enjoy his music.

DVD-A Guitarist's Guide To Better PracticingProduct Description: Peter Huttlinger's amazing guitar technique didn't just happen. He developed it over the years, enhanced by good practice and exercise regimens. As a guitar teacher with more than sixteen years experience, Pete knows that the most important thing that players need is guidance in their practicing routine. He has seen guitarists playing a piece for years, making the same mistakes over and over without knowing how to fix the problem.
Now, with this powerful lesson filled with invaluable advice and insider's tips, you can increase your guitar skills and perfect your playing style through proper practice routines. You'll learn how to isolate the problem phrases in a piece of music, use a metronome to build solid rhythm, increase your picking speed (flatpick or finger style), train your "muscle memory," and, perhaps most importantly, learn how to manage your practice time for sure results. Pete provides numerous scales and exercises to help you gain fingerboard knowledge, strengthen your fingers and develop right and left hand coordination. Finally, you'll put it all to practical use by learning to conquer a dazzling instrumental, "The Monaghan Jig," taking it apart phrase by phrase using Pete's practice method.
This is a lesson that will benefit all guitarists. Whatever level you are starting from, you'll see the quality of your playing grow by leaps and bounds, and you'll get more pleasure from your music making.

When I started playing guitar about a year ago, I would play some simple chords here and there and although it started to sound clean, nothing I played in front of friends or family was recognizable as any particular song.This DVD changed that.
