Al Petteway Lessons?
So I have seen several of Al Petteway's lessons on homespun guitar and I was considering getting one or two for my upcoming birthday. I'm a huge fan of his (he's currently my favorite artist from any Genre). Has anyone tried his lessons?

Good question. I found the Appalachian to be harder. A good place to start is the Celtic 1 lesson. Sligo Creek is in that one and it's a fun tune.

I have the Appalachian Fingerstyle set. The music is beautiful and I can hardly wait to be able to play the material. But I found it kind of hard, a bit out of my 'comfort & fun' range. So I got the Artie Traum's DADGAD set from Homespun. This one's pretty easy and I'm nearly through it. Then I'll get back to the Appalachian lesson. I do plan to do the Celtic and Blues lessons as well, since the music sounds great and Al Petteway has a relaxed and pleasant presentation style.

I have the DADGAD blues one. I keep meaning to learn something from it but there's always other material that motivates me more. That's not a criticism of the video, it has some nice ideas/pieces, its simply that I am not a massive fan of fingerstyle blues. I play quite a few pieces in DADGAD and when I do get the urge to learn a blues number it would certainly be from this video.
I'm sure you've seen these, they give a good idea what to expect from the video:

I ended up getting the celtic guitar lessons and would strongly recommend them. He is amazing! They can be a little on the challenging side for me personally though, but his songs are a ton of fun to play. Sligo Creek is amazing (I've gotten this mostly down and am eventually hoping to record myself playing it) and there are quite a few other good ones as well in the two part series.

I own a DVD of some of his DADGAD songs and each one shows him playing the song, then has a detailed video of him teaching the important points for each. It was helpful, and well explained, well shot, and I think there might even have been 'paper' instructions inside. |
