A lot of great tips and licks are included in this DVD. Brent Mason has such a great demeanor in his teaching style.
I was able to greatly beef up my version of, ‘The Last Steam Engine Train’, after watching this DVD and learning a few of the licks.

This program will be fun to watch for anyone because of Mason’s incredible talent and spectacular playing. I am an amateur guitarist. But I suspect that only very, very good musicians will get much out of it in terms of playing tips. Even with the slow-mo replays, I still can’t really understand what he’s doing or begin to emulate it. I’m glad I bought the disk, but I’m not any better at playing for having watched it.

Brent is an amazing player, but not a great teacher. I’m a pretty decent player but this stuff is difficult and not accessible.
If you already are a great player and are ready, by all means get it.
If you’re trying to just get a handle on “country” this isn’t the place to start.

This is my 2nd Hot Licks Video(James Burton was #1), and is my favorite out of the two. The quality is really decent considering that these were all created on VHS first, and the new menu’s with the Pitch-Correct Slo-Motion feature is AWESOME and is definitely necessary with this guy! I would not suggest this if you are a beginner though! Not unless you just want to spend all you time learning Brent’s licks and nothing else. And having everything actually written down (staff and tabs) really helps out alot! But, add the slow motion AND the written part, and you can’t beat this!!! Just totally awesome!!!

No doubt this guy can play but DVD provides almost nothing in the way of ‘instruction’. There is a distinct lack of 1/2 speed and slow passage runs. Almost all exercises are played at full break neck speed which very frustrating to the learner. The info on Brent’s guitar and gear is interesting but this is not what an instructional DVD is all about.
