Amazon.com Review Excellent intro to bluegrass guitar pickin’, October 16, 2002 Reviewer: silverflash from Alpharetta, GA I highly recommend this video. The presentation is high quality & includes the use of on-screen tab & titles (which made it easy to find the sections I was searching for when fast-forwarding). Dan offers specific advice on which type of pick to use & how to hold it, how to strike the strings, how to anchor your picking hand, how to move your wrist, & much more regarding the small details of flatpicking that you can’t get from a book or CD. Dan also gives brief, but highly detailed, demonstrations of how to tune your guitar & how to put strings on. Dan gives measure-by-measure lessons on how to play the songs with specific instructions on how & when to down-stroke or up-stroke while moving from string to string. Based on my experience with this video I’ll be purchasing more instructional material by Dan Huckabee.

From Tony Watt interview featured in Flatpicking Guitar Magazine July/August 2007: "One of the breakthrough moments for Tony learning how to play lead came from Dan Huckabee's Beginners column in Flatpicking Guitar Magazine. Tony remembers, ' One of Dan Huckabee's columns had a transcription of Red Haired Boy and I sat down with that and for the first time figured out how to turn tablature into music. That was a Big Bang moment for me'"
