Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I agree with the reviewer who described many of the licks as "blah." Having purchased videos/books by Johnny Hiland, Doug Seven, Danny Gatton, and Red Volkaert, as well as this one, I noticed that the majority of the licks in this book do not seem "authentic," comparatively speaking. While constructed from the proper scales and utilizing common chicken pickin techniques such as open strings and bends, they lack the sound and feel that are idiomatic of the genre; some are rather sterile sounding. There are even some offerings of wide intervallic licks and string skipping licks, which to me sounds more at home with jazz fusion or metal. The bending licks do not have the "pedal steel" feel to them.Most importantly, there are no indications on which notes of the licks should either be plucked or picked - this is crucial, since this technique is what gives this style its very name....
