I've had lessons like this before. The teacher's objective is to make sure you appreciate how well they play rather than to instruct you in how to play.

This is a trailer for a 2 hour DVD lesson that is one of three we've produced with Paul. His DVDs are the most popular in our catalogue - as much for their instructional quality as their playing content. The original title of the youtube clip wasn't intended to mislead so I've updated it to be clearer.

[Dustpan04347]

its called a thumb pick... dont mean to sound rude er anything but isnt that kinda obvious?? lol

[atapoicos00]

isn´t this a Marcel Dadi theme?

BigsbyBender...your a dick. What difference does it make what the hell his thumb does...if you really knew guitar, you'd realize he's using it to for bass notes. What an anal twat.

@RWhiddon2 I bought this DVD and I must say. It was pretty awesome. It's for intermediate to advanced players and I really learned a ton. I think he's not only a great player but also a great teacher. My hats off to him.

I own this dvd of Paul Pigat. This Youtube video is just featuring what he can show you, and the type of music/style you will learn. I can assure those who are interested that he goes into detail with different left hand finger patterns, and explains each chord used, step by step. He can successfully teach you travis picking, or at least the song. I felt it works best for intermediate guitar players, but great for first time travis pickers, like me. I enjoyed the dvd.

does anyone know if this version of "I'll See You In My Dreams" is teached by Paul on the DVD? Or does anyone know where I can get the tabs of it?

[hammill444]

@maphisshredcore Very true. But that's the question: is the right hand, and what it is doing, taught- slowly, and specifically- on this dvd?

[hammill444]

I'm curious: it's certainly hard to tell from the the "teaser" clip, but does this dvd slowly- and I mean slowly- break down the right hand picking technique? As in- which fingers are assigned where and when?
