Customer Reviews for 50 Licks Country Style

Bread & Butter Country Licks - Worth the money
I've been playing for many years and consider myself a solid intermediate or even advanced player, but none of these licks are overly difficult. These are a great place to enhance your ability with a lot of the basics. As a comparison, I've also have Brent Mason's dvd, but you need additional fingers to play his stuff! These 50 licks are more for the average player looking to improve, not the already hot guitarist looking for some really hot licks.

Well worth the $15 or less. Make sure you get the "booklet" if you buy used, the tab is only printed not in the video.50 Licks Country Style

A secret weapon of mine
This is an extremely powerful lesson. If only to see how tasty major blues can be, this is worth every penny. But, honestly, the licks are so good and there are so many of them that it goes past the major blues - goes into pedal-steel type overbending, minor blues, gospel feel... this is a phrasebook that can be used immediately.

It's not easy, though, so I would rate it as intermediate. There's a lot of precise bending involved, as well as fret hand pinkie work and some faster alternate picking. These licks have to be performed smoothly to work. But holy moly, they sure are sweet. If you're a rocker, think of the opening of Led Zeppelin's "Hot Dog", then clean it up (get rid of the flubs) and multiply by 50. Whee!50 Licks Country Style
