Nils Lofgren: Electric and Acoustic Rock Guitar

Nils Lofgren has been a member of Crazy Horse (a Neil Young backing band), worked with Bruce Springsteen, and played guitar on a record for Memphis legend and guitar master Carl Perkins -- therefore qualifying him to teach the masses a thing or two about playing the guitar. Teaming up with the Hot Licks Video crew, Lofgren jumps in front of the camera to educate the novice player on what makes a solid rock & roll player. By focusing on picked and split harmonics, chord shifting, harmonic minor work, rolling the notes, and using the thumbpick for percussive rhythm parts, Lofgren covers all the bases of rock guitar. As if that were not enough, as an added lesson, Lofgren ventures away from the electric guitar and lays down some wisdom for playing acoustic rock guitar.
