REVIEW: Learn to play Dave Gilmour Solos – Lick Library

Lick Library - Learn to play Dave Gilmour, The Solos.

Presented by Jamie Humphries.

RRP £24.99

Presentation

All the Lick Library DVD's I've covered have excellent production. The sound quality is outstanding, Menu's easy to navigate and filmed at the best angles to see what is being played.

Jamie Humphries is a good teacher and goes at a good pace, aimed at intermediate players.

What does it cover?

2 x DVD and 1 x CD

Comfortably Numb
Money
Another brick in the wall (part 2)
Time
Dogs

Remember this is how to play the solo's so does not cover the full track.

Overall

This is outstanding values for 2 DVD's and CD full of backing tracks. Teaching is done at a good pace but I would say that it is aimed at intermediate players.

G | H rating 4/5.
