The spare, deceptively simple accompaniments John Denver devised for his many hit songs gave each one a signature sound that is instantly recognizable. As John’s former lead guitarist, Pete Huttlinger knows this music as well as anyone, and this time out he teaches seven more classic John Denver songs, detailing exactly how John himself played each of them.
The techniques range from basic chords and folk strums to more complex picking patterns, chord progressions and harmonies that evoke a sound typical of John’s music. A relative beginner will learn style and technique, and there is a great deal of material to challenge intermediate players as well.
Pete brings joy and enthusiasm to his subject matter. His exploration of John Denver’s music will teach you to play wonderful songs with beautiful arrangements while helping you bring your guitar playing to a whole new level.
The songs Pete teaches were chosen in response to the many requests he received from John Denver fans who enjoyed his and wanted more! Here are the JD classics you'll be playing: "Aspen Glow”, “Christmas for Cowboys“, “This Old Guitar”, “I Guess He’d Rather Be In Colorado”, “Mother Nature’s Son", “Rhymes and Reasons” and his signature song, “Take Me Home, Country Roads".
Pete rounds out the DVD with a series of exercises to help you build dexterity, strength and coordination in your guitar playing.
