DVD Reviews of Johnny Hiland: Chicken Pickin' Guitar

DVD Review: johnny hiland chicken pickin is finger lickin good
Summary: 5 Stars

this video is worth ten times what i paid for it. johnny is such and easy going guy and a great teacher. he shows you just where he is on the fretboard and even gives string numbers and he goes slow enough even i could follow what he was doing. i would love to meet him in person one day and thank him for producing this dvd. i hope he makes more dvd's cause i will buy every one of them. thanks johnny, and i know you have helped many people become better guitarist's. i feel more confident already. sincerely cy vane

DVD Review: Arlen! Put some pants on!
Summary: 4 Stars

Johnny Hiland is a terrific country picker and you'll learn some interesting techniques for playing country-style guitar, as well as ways to incorporate a steel-guitar sound into your playing. However, Arlen Roth shows up to jam dressed (inappropriately!) in some really ugly shorts, displaying a truly gnarly-looking pair of legs, and, with his afro-style hairdo, ends up looking like Richard Simmons smarter-but-not-a-whole-lot-smarter brother. Ugh!

DVD Review: Chicken Pickin'
Summary: 4 Stars

This really is an advanced lesson but is well worth it. The live performance's are a great bonus too.

DVD Review: Great tutorial!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

This video provides detailed instruction in an easy to use format. Not only does Johnny Hiland explain the material, he plays through each lick slowly and the licks can be slowed down to half speed while retaining the proper pitch. The material he provides is practical and usable for the average guitarist. As a bonus, there are three live performances where Johnny Hiland shows off his virtuosity. It's worth every penny.

DVD Review: Chicken Pickin' Guitar
Summary: 4 Stars

Chicken pickin' guitar, the first instructional DVD from country picker Johnny Hiland, does not disappoint. Great detailed footage of instructional material, as well as a few amazing performances that are worth the price of the DVD alone. My one problem was that the term "chicken pickin'" is usually associated with the concept of hybrid picking, which is hardly demonstrated on the DVD at all. It has tons of great country style licks, steel guitar type licks, bends, etc. However there were maybe only one or two licks that demonstrated hybrid picking, which was what I had hoped to learn fom this DVD. Perhaps this should have been titled something more along the lines of "country guitar", just my two cents though.
All in all the DVD is great, but I'll stress that it is NOT for beginners by any stretch. The material is definietly aimed towards the player that already has some damn good picking chops built up. But again, Johnny is a great teacher, a great guy, and he can really play a guitar! Johnny also gives some info about his gear, and a tab book with all the riffs is included. If you want to get into some country playing, check out Chicken Pickin' Guitar!
