Two-time Grammy winner and former lead guitarist for Paul McCartney and Wings, Laurence Juber is the premier solo acoustic guitarist of his generation. Juber ranks as Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine's "Guitarist of the Year," as well as one of Acoustic Guitar Magazine's top guitarists of all time. Understanding DADGAD and Building Repertoire is designed for guitar players wishing to expand their horizons and explore the versatile tuning of DADGAD by using well-known songs to produce memorable arrangements. The DVD features songs such as "Amazing Grace," "Greensleeves," and many more, with an insightful explanation by Juber of the benefits of altered tuning for solo guitarists. The succeeding DVD in the Acoustic Guitar Essentials series, Composing & Arranging Solo Guitar, goes on to feature a half dozen of Juber's most exciting compositions, including "PCH," "Liquid Amber," and more. Juber walks viewers through each tune step-by-step, discussing the reasons for his musical choices as composer and the technique needed to make these tunes musical in performance. Each DVD is filmed in High-Definition, with multi-angle viewing for close-ups and side views, plus TAB notation in PDF form.

Celtic Guitar Solos, Tunes & Techniques, Understanding DADGAD and Building Repertoire: Acoustic Guitar Essentials Volume 2, and Composing & Arranging Solo Guitar: Acoustic Guitar Essentials Volume 3 are now available for $29.95 each.
