Title: Disappointed
Review: I was very much looking forward to this Dvd lesson. I had already done two Pete Huttlinger Dvd's on Jim Croce and thought they were terrific. I must say,though, that I was very disappointed. I enjoy Livingston Taylor's music and enthusiasm, but I felt he really fell down on the nuts and bolts of playing his songs. He skips around songs and does not go into detail on how to play them. Some parts he seems to skip all together. It is alot of 'zen' teaching-feeling the music. This is improtant, but first give me the basics. You have to use the tab (which has many mistakes) and just watch him play to figure out alot of the songs. The last song he does not even teach at all, just plays it. This was done back originally in the 90's and maybe they have just learned how to do these better since then, but there is no comparison to the level of teaching you get on the Huttlinger Dvd's. I wish Pete would teach Livingston's songs (along with his brother's). I would be able to learn them much better.
Is the review positive or negative?
