For my friend.
Can't play it but I was thankful to find this as I lost the one my friend loaned me.

Good job
Pete does a good job of breaking down Gord's songs. I would have made a fewdifferent choices of songs, but with such a vast catalog, one can't quibble.

Reveals a lot of GL's fingerpicking secrets!
I'm 58, took a class in "Beginning Folk Guitar" in high school which got me started playing guitar. Since then, I have always loved "Steel Rail Blues" and have always wondered how to pick it like GL does. Sure, I've seen it in song books with the basic chords but I am not a music major, I have a tin ear, and am not like my brother in law who can listen to a song one time and play it quite close to the original.This DVD gives you a really great look at how both hands play his style for each of the songs, and the enclosed booklet has the notes and tabs. I recommend sneaking into the office copy machine and enlarging the book, though, because the print is rather small, at least for my eyes.I bought this just for that song, but the others are good, too. I highly recommend this if you like GL.

Just one real problem with this...
This is very good EXCEPT Pete seems to just assume that you can figure out his strumming pattern by just watching him full speed.This is proving very difficult for me to do. Maybe you will be better at picking it up.I just wish that he would have taken a few seconds to explain, even just on the first tune (Early Morning Rain). There is something in there that I'm missing.

Huttlinger and Lightfoot
I bought this because Circle of Steel was the first song I learned to play on the guitar. I learned just a little bit from my instructor and we moved on. I have loved that song from the first time I heard it and when I saw it was on this DVD I jumped at it. It was worth the money for just that, but I enjoy all the other songs as well.

A must for Gordon Lightfoot fans
Awesome tutorial on how to replicate the Gordon Lightfoot sound. Went so far as to combine two guitar parts into 1 guitar arrangement. Very doable and easy to replicate.

As usual Pete does a fantastic job going through each song and playing the parts ...
As usual Pete does a fantastic job going through each song and playing the parts and teaching you step by step. I recommend this instructional video.

The songs of Gordon Lightfoot
Ich wollte die DVD einem absoluten Fan von Gordon Lightfoot zum Geburtstag schenken, aber nach dem Auspacken kam der Dämpfer: Da spielt ein Gitarrenlehrer Songs von Gordon Lightfoot, mein Freund wollte aber den originalen Star.
