For the first time, the legendary Hot Licks guitar instruction video series is being made available in book format with online access to all of the classic video footage. All the guitar tab from the original video booklets has been re-transcribed and edited using modern-day technology to provide you with the most accurate transcriptions ever created for this series. Plus, we’ve included tab for examples that were previously not transcribed, providing you with the most comprehensive Hot Licks guitar lessons yet.

In this book/video, guitarist James Burton (Ricky Nelson, Elvis Presley) covers a wide range of classic rock ‘n’ roll and country-style guitar skills and techniques heard on such timeless rock hits as “Susie-Q,” “Travelin’ Man” and “Fools Rush In,” among others. You’ll learn: hybrid picking • steel guitar licks • string bending technique • chicken pickin’ • bending behind the nut • cross-string picking • his “echo effect” rhythm style • and more.
