With classic tips on tried-and-true guitar licks and techniques, it's hard to go wrong or be misled by this tutorial. Like most Hot Licks Video releases, it is recommended that you have some basic guitar knowledge before you dive in and expect to come out sounding like Hendrix. ~ Ed Atkinson, All Movie Guide All Movie Guide
