VHS Movie Reviews of Livingston Taylor's Excellent Guitar Lesson: Play Better Now!

Movie Review: Inspiration!
Summary: 5 Stars

This videotape helped me break into new territory in fingerstyle guitar technique. More than anything else, it is Livingston's personality, sense of humor, love of music, and wonderful philosophies about life and art that drive the tape. He is a fantastic instructor. I never could play "Taylor-esqe" (JT)songs (despite years of trying out various tabs) until I purchased this tape. I cannot recommend this tape enough. I sometimes watch it just for fun!

Summary of Livingston Taylor's Excellent Guitar Lesson: Play Better Now!

Livingston Taylor's unique playing has set the standard for beautiful guitar accompaniment for over two decades. A lively, charming and inspiring teacher, Livingston explores some of his most requested songs, showing how simple yet elegant chord positions and active bass lines can transform your material. If you've ever wondered how Livingston gets the beautiful harmonizations that typify the "Taylor sound," then this video is essential viewing. Although this terrific lesson was designed for experienced beginners and intermediate guitarists, we recommend it for players at all levels who are interested in enhancing their accompaniment technique or playing in the Taylor style. Livingston teaches four of his compositions, including his hit "Going Round One More Time," the jazzy "I Must Be Doing Something Right," "Our Turn To Dance" and his classic "I Will Be In Love With You." He also shows how to take extremely simple songs like "I've Been Working On The Railroad" and "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" and give it that "Taylor magic" with suspended and minor seventh chords, as well as other tricks of the trade.

Livingston's up-close lesson is jammed with tips on guitar style and technique, as well as on performing, gaining confidence, and using all of your senses to become a complete musician. Livingston's humor and love of music shine through as he inspires you to "play better now!"
