DVD-Arrangements For Solo Acoustic Guitar #2

If you are looking to see and hear one of the world's great guitar players up close, this is a good place to start. Huttlinger is one of those rare players whose incredible technique doesn't compromise the beauty and emotion of his music. Too often players with that much technique lose the plot but he uses his skill set to turn the guitar into a mini orchestra. He is also a fun character and even more fun in person.I would say this DVD is good for anyone who loves guitar but it will be very useful for players who are at least at the intermediate level. The real payoff will be for more advanced players who will find a tresure chest of great ideas for making great music.Seamus

It's a thrill to listen to Pete Huttlinger, and even more so when you can watch him play, which is why I love the DVD versions. One of the best guitarists you will ever hear!This disk is aimed at finger-style guitarists or wannabees like me, but anyone who loves guitar music won't be disappointed either.

Peter Huttlinger has technique, that's for sure. But I like none of his arrangements on this DVD. His style doesn't make me want to play like him. He plays very fast... but so what? To me, his music says nothing. It's empty. Homespun has another DVD entitled "Arrangements in Fingerstyle Guitar" with Muriel Anderson. It's far better than Peter's even though her playing on it sounds sloppy at times. It's not like her. She's usually a perfect guitarist. She must have been in a hurry to finish the filming.
