A good breakdown of the licks

For me, this DVD did a great job of illustrating and breaking down the licks on some of Lynyrd Skynyrd's great songs. They did a reasonably good job of selecting from the wide array of the group's hits (I'm up for a Volume 2, as another reviewer has suggested).
To those who might complain about Greg Koch's entertaining style of commentary, I say "lighten up!" The guy can play, and knows what he's doing.
If you're a real novice, you may find that even the slowed down demonstrations might be just a little quick for you, but that's what the rewind button is for. Just playback a few times, and you'll soon get the idea. He won't hold your hand, but you can do it and be better for it. This observation comes from my son, who is just learning to play and is getting hooked on "classical music" like this.
Having the tablature handy would be a great supplement to the videos, as well as helping learn the rest of the song that surrounds these licks. Too bad Hal Leonard didn't include some PDF files with the tab on this disc, but then you wouldn't have to go buy their books, would you? Mwaahaahaa!
All in all, I really like this DVD and recommend it to any Skynyrd fan who wants to enjoy a thorough analysis of these licks.
