Continues the best-selling Mel Bay book series: Chet Atkins In Three Dimensions, Fifty Years of Legendary Guitar Volume 1 & Volume 2. New and fascinating work (instruction and commentary) on Chet Atkins; Close-up views of right & Left Hands; Graded progression from Part 1 to Part 2 (alternating bass to advanced harmonics) and Like having a private master class from a Master Coach. Watch the author on DVD teaching and conveying his very special knowledge of guitar and Chet. Hosted by John McClellan, Chet Atkins in Three Dimensions Chet Licks clearly explains and defines the musical philosophy and style that made Chet Atkins the "singular" figure of fingerstyle guitar in the 20th century. Virtuoso guitarist and friend of the Atkins family, John demonstrates Chet's techniques (alternating bass, slurs, cross-string scales, arpeggios, tone production artificial harmonics and more and discusses the key elements of Chet's musicianship. John uses graded musical examples from pieces such as "Avalon," "Take Five," "Canned Heat," "Mainstreet Breakdown" and many others. Filmed with high quality video and audio, "Chet Licks" is a must for the guitarist who desires to learn from this American master…Mr. Chet Atkins.

Rated wrong item
First review I was confused between the book and the DVD. The DVD is good teaching tool if you want to learn the techniques used by Chet. Goes into good detail about the unique patterns used by Chet. Would be helpfull if there was an accompaning tab booklet.

Not for learning Chet's songs
Disappointed b/c no complete breakdown of Chet's songs. Disc 1 is about basic/general stuff (alternative bass & arpeggio), and Disc 2 is about licks. I wanted to be able to play a whole song, not only the solos. There is no instruction of that sort (even no tabs included). I was not interested in what scale Chet uses, but wanted to know how Chet played the whole song (fingering and voicing)... BTW, I was surprised there was no clip of Chet's playing songs on the 2 discs.

Chet is the best
Although it is not Chet in this video it is very educational for those that aspire to play like Chet. I will play this over and over until I master it

dissapointed
Don't waste your money, it seems I sat and watched this for two hours and learned absolutely nothing. If you have a very basic knowledge of thumbpicking style this DVD will be a colossal waste of your time.
