Default Re: Homespun Lightfoot Lesson DVD

I found out after I wrote the review that Pete couldn't use either Wreck or CRT, as Gord would not give permission for those two. He also doesn't allow the use of his recordings of those songs on "various artists" compilations, so I might have thought of that possibility myself, but did not. But, they are his masterpieces, so I suppose he is entitled to keep them for himself. (You can record the songs on a CD, of course, as mechanical licenses are available without restriction).

That still doesn't explain why Pete didn't choose SFAWN, Sundown or DQ! But it is a marvelous instructional DVD for anyone who want to play Lightfoot, and what you learn from the DVD will help you play other songs that Pete didn't teach.

Did you notice that Pete plays and teaches IYCRMM pretty much the same as our Cathy Cowette? I was waiting to see if he would, and he did, complete with Red's lead solo.
