## Description

Jim Croce is one of the most beloved singer-songwriters in the history of American popular music. His timeless songs, with their compelling melodies, strong story lines and unique guitar arrangements, are instantly recognizable, easy to learn and fun to play. Guitarist Pete Huttlinger knows Jim Croce's repertoire inside and out. He expertly breaks down the subtleties of these famous guitar accompaniments, as well as the superb lead lines and solos of Jim's long-time accompanist, Maury Muehleisen, for aspiring players at all levels. Seven of Croce's best-loved hits are carefully taught on this DVD. Along with the basic accompaniments, you'll learn to reproduce the nuanced chord progressions, three-finger picking patterns, bass lines, melodic licks, intros and endings that give each song its own unforgettable sound. You'll soon be playing these memorable songs in note-for-note detail: I Have to Say I Love You in a Song, New York's Not My Home, Photographs and Memories, I Got a Name, These Dreams, Operator and Time in a Bottle.

    It's pretty good, overall.

After spending many years trying to play the songs of Jim Croce with absolutely NO success, this DVD was amazing. As a young boy, I first realized I wanted to play guitar AND to play it like Jim and Maury due to Jim's albums.... so having learned the first three songs has been the fulfillment of a life-long dream. (I'm 42).Pete accurately repoduces the sound of Jim and Maury's music, no doubt about it. His skill is absolutely fantastic. Overall, I recommend this dvd to anybody who wants to learn Jim's music pretty much verbatim. In this, the video is without equal.If you buy this DVD and aren't too familiar with fingerpicking patterns, then I offer you this, it's what I've had to do with the chorus of "Photographs and Memories" (even though I've been picking for years): get the feel for it by listening, and then rewind to the part you want to learn. Pause the video and move forward frame by frame. While Pete is an AWESOME fingerpicker, his teaching is fair overall and there are times when he doesn't communicate what's going on.I'm half way through the video and I'm learning "I got a name". I've been practicing daily for about a month and can now pretty much repoduce Jim's sound on "I'll have to say I love you in a song", "New York's not my home" and "Photographs and Memories". I'm having to do the above frame by frame DVD technique in order to learn "I've got a name." This part is the only drawback to the DVD.If it helps any, I've got Pete's second video on learning to play the music of Jim Croce on it's way. Even with the annoying frame by frame issue, I'd order a third installment of "How to play the songs of Jim Croce" by Pete Huttlinger if he were to produce one. Nobody else really comes close to teaching how to repoduce Jim's sound, and I've been looking hard for quite some time.

    Great Music, Great Teaching
  

*by M***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 30, 2009*

I grew up listening to Jim Croce's heartfelt, genuine sounding, every man's kind of music as a kid.  I always wanted to play his unique, mostly fingerpicking style.  I recently bought the first Jim Croce DVD by Pete Huttlinger and ate it up.  This one continues with some of the lesser known, but still quite beautiful and interesting songs.Pete is laid back and a super instructor/player.  He walks you through the various songs at different rates, talking a bit about the piece and at times giving you a touch of music theory. For me, it's Zen for the soul just to watch.The transcriptions are close to the originals, but Pete changes them at times to get the better sound, especially since you don't have Maury(Jim's phenomenal back-up acoustic guitar)to fill it in.  Some of Maury's licks are included on this DVD. The lyrics are not.  Pete will sometimes croak out part of the song to show you how it matches up.Cameras film both hands, and the sheet music booklet, in Tab and regular music notation, which was on paper in the #1 DVD box, is now downloadable from the disc for viewing or print out.  Being computer illiterate, I had difficulty downloading it and e-mailed the address they provided and got immediate help.Overall, these songs are intermediate level, some harder than others.  I'd say, in general, this DVD challenges one more than the first; however, anyone, if they put their mind to it and slowly practice and toughen up their hands, can learn these wonderful pieces. My one question: Where's "You don't Mess Around with Jim" and "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown"?  Are they too much strumming to be included?

    Better than a Private Lesson
  

*by M***K on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on September 10, 2009*

I love Jim Croce, and Pete Huttlinger does an absolutely super job showing how to play the mostly fingerpicking style of this great artist.Pete's manner is laid back and quite congenial.  He talks about Jim and his great accompaniest both tragically gone in 1973.  There's a reverence and love for their work by Pete, and he really seems to enjoy teaching it.  I watched without playing at first, totally fascinated.The camera shows both hands simultaneously.  Pete demonstrates the very accurate compositions at full speed, then broken down, constantly giving you instruction on fingering and how the piece was composed.  He throws in a bit of music theory, but it's not important.  The pieces are intermediate in nature, but I would say, that if you put your mind and determination to a song as a beginner you'll learn it.  Just take your time; let your fingers toughen up and your brain loosen up.The sheet music included with the dvd(Folded up in the case) is in tablature and traditional script.  No lyrics, but Pete will sing portions to show you how it matches with the playing.  The nice part is that you can go over it and over it as much as you like- way cheaper than private lessons!
