Rosebud, Mar 7 2011
I wanted this watch 15 years ago but couldn't afford it. Every time I went to a watch store I would look for it. In recent years I noticed that stores weren't stocking them anymore. Fast forward: I saw that Amazon.ca had a Beta version for watches and this was the first thing I looked for. The price was unbelievable! Finally, after all these years I got my Rosebud (Citizen Kane reference). Very accurate so far, solid, fits great on my wrist. The jubilee bracelet is a bit to get used to if you are used to an oyster, but I like it's flexibility. I can't stop looking at this watch!

Okay, not the best, Feb 7 2010
I prefer them when they don't sing. The clucking is funny the first time you hear, really annoying afterwards. Also, very cheesy to say that you don't need Booker T and the MGs, and other greats when you have the "Metermen", bragging doesn't suit them. "Look-ka Py Py" and "The Meters" are better.

What I was looking for, Dec 27 2009
Book I (beginner) was a little to basic for me, this was exactly what I needed for my skill level. Good exercises and useful CD

Melodic Master, Dec 27 2009
I bought this CD based on the youtube clip of GG playing Mozart. Once I heard that I knew I had to own this album. I waited for a while because it wasn't available on CD until very recently and then I jumped on it once it was available on Amazon. The other songs are good too, laid back melodic easy listening but interesting. Not bebop jazz and not pure funk, this is a little different from his other albums. Check out the youtube clip and if you like it then get it!

Bonne Chance!, Sep 18 2009
Wolf Marshall does an excellent job at breaking down Wes' material, analyzing it and showing you how to play what Wes played. Good luck doing it! The material is there, the CD is excellent and the tab looks good. It's just that you will need the devotion and discipline of a monk to get through it. No fault of Wolf's, Wes was one of a kind.

Blah..., Sep 18 2009
Well, stuff happens when you play live and you are recording only one performance. Not impressed with Dickey's band, they did not seem tight at all. The drummer was especially loose, now I know why the Allmans and earlier versions of Great Southern had two drummers. His keyboardist does a pretty good Greg Allman impersonation. This DVD is worth two stars because it's always fun to see Dangerous Dan Toler. Save your money and get the Rockplast DVD instead. That has the same band a few years later and tighter, offering a better performance than this one-off disappointment.

Great new chords, new rhythms, Sep 18 2009
Very well written book. You need to be able to read standard music to figure out the rhythms, but the chords are spelled out and you can follow the CD easily. I've learned so many new chords from this book that it's paid for itself after the first few pages. I'm really glad I got this book!

Great Duo, Sep 18 2009
Not sure why the photo on the cover shows Richard Cotten playing guitar because he is Lenny's bassist on this CD. This is my favourite live guitar and bass recording. Most jazz guitar & bass albums are unbearably bassy and end up sounding like mud. The tone of Lenny's Gibson is just right, brighter than usual for jazz but not too bright, and Richard Cotten's bass has the perfect mid-range punch needed for this performance. Great playing, and it's a treat to hear Lenny grunt and moan as plays, with the occasional "YEAH!". This is a live show in a club, you can hear plates, cutlery and glasses, and the cash register in the background but this kind of enhances the experience. Great playing, love it when Lenny calls out the chord changes and counts out the time. Especially touching is the interview with Cotten's wife at the end of the album, recalling Lenny's stay with the Cotten family in Nashville.

Get ready to do your homework, Aug 15 2009
Like Chord Chemistry, this is a very dense book and meant to be used with the guidance of a teacher. Not a method book for beginners, more of a reference book you can spend the rest of your life working on. Do not attempt to read this cover to cover, you will hurt yourself and get discouraged. Written in standard notation with no TAB, the examples stress arpeggios and scales in different positions. There is a lot of material here, but apparently he really gets going in Vol II where the interesting stuff is explained. To be absorbed in bite sized pieces, a page or two will take days to work on and understand. Like Greene's other books, still a classic and an excellent resource.

Boss of Bossa, Aug 15 2009
Again, I wish it was just the Charlie Byrd trio minus the orchestra, but still very good. The songs are short, wished he stretched out a bit more. Good song selection, he knew his stuff!
