Review: Great Introductory DVD on slide. I have checked out other DVDs on learning slide guitar, and this one seems the most straightforward. Nice, calm, low-key teaching by Sokolow, with several good slide tunes taught. Nice and basic, yet lots taught here. - Ron K/Amazon Customer Review
Review: This dvd is a pretty comprehensive look at this style of playing. The instructor is easy to follow and the pace is reasonable enough so that anyone who is experienced isn't completely bored; but beginners are able to get a grasp at the same time. - JC/Amazon Customer Review
