Coming out by Hal Leonard will be a DVD. Myself and several other guitar/teachers will contribute to this product. It's taken months to produce it.

I've seen a LOT of videos with this guy. But in THIS one he reminds me of McFly Sr. (when he is young) in back to the future. When he's saying "Get..your.. your damn hands off her!"

haha. sorry.
