Customer Review: Another Great DVD lesson From Pete Huttlinger…with a twist
Huttlinger is obviously a first-class award winning guitarist; and his DVDs has shown that he is a good guitar teacher. Easy going, nice demeanor, humble, and with a good sense of humor, his DVDs are priceless lessons with a master. However, something about this DVD is a bit different than the others.
Here, Pete slows down, take his time, and like a truly gifted teacher, he seems to now anticipate students’ mistakes, or in the least, students’ stumbling points. His arrangements are now done with the student in mind, more than just the excellence of the music.
Pete has grown as a teacher, which is obvious to those of us who collect his DVDs and train by them. One can only hope that he will continue his career, not simply as a player, but, in time, more and more as a teacher. He is terrific.
What a great DVD series that could come from Pete coupled with Happy Traum. “BUY NOW”
