Dec 7, 2011 - I bought the DVD, and it's the best $25 I've ever spent on a music lessons. The DVD is easy to navigate, the sound and picture clarity is spot on, and it's given enough material for quite a while. Highly recommended. Dave Bagwill

Jan 6, 2012 - Great video. I'd learned the "Frailing" guitar techniques from Steve a few years ago. Now I'm going to learn this "Clawhammer" techniques by ordering his DVD. Thx Steve!

Jan 13, 2012 - So Travis picking must be english then. Invented by that well known english country player Merle Travis. Joker.

Feb 26, 2012 - I'm English, have played guitar for over 30 years and I've heard no one here refer to Travis Picking as Clawhammer! Everyone here knows that Clawhammer is a downpicking banjo technique. Also most people in the UK are either pro monarch, or like me just are just apathetic about it - we just don't see advantages in creating more politicians to vote for - it just encourages them! Having said all that this looks like a very cool video and one I'll look to adding to my collection. Nice one Steve!

Apr 13, 2012 - "Silly" would be the most polite thing said about royalty in an English folk club. Hatred is more typical. But now they can't start wars our ridiculous royals can seem like benign relics next to those that can. Perhaps like your clawhammering - your hand isn't seized up in a claw because you've not been grasping a hoe all day, but you find worth in preserving and building on that history rather than banishing it and playing only in the Prince Charles/Merle Travis style. Great lesson!
