Editorial Reviews:

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.

Summary: Terrific instructional DVD
Comment: I have been struggling to play Jim Croce songs with some modicum of authenticity for years. I have learnt an enormous amount from this DVD in just two weeks, and friends I have played music with for years have remarked on the impovement. Pete also seems like a real gentleman, he teaches with a great style.
Note that Pete plays with a thumbpick - if you haven't used one yet, now is the time, but it takes getting used to.

Summary: on the money
Comment: I recommend this dvd. I have been able to learn Jim Croce's songs from the dvd in a way I appreciate. The information herein is fully functional and if you follow the teachings you will be able to learn the material.

Summary: If you like Croce . . .
Comment: then you should really enjoy this. Although Pete mentions that the instruction is not note for note (very close though) you will benefit from this regardless. It's pretty damn good. I've been playing Croce songs for years and I'll be incorporating some of these techniques to improve my sound. Included is the Tab for all the songs which he instructs, some with the second guitar part (a shame all songs aren't included with Muehleisen's part).
It would benefit you to be up to speed with barre chords, much of the instruction is based on them. So this DVD is probably best for the intermediate to advanced guitar player although it does depend on the player.

Summary: Good Intermediate DVD for fingerpicking
Comment: I initially bought this DVD to see what type of "strumming" patterns Jim Croce used on his songs. I now realize that, for the most part, he didn't use any strumming patterns. This is a good DVD for those people who want to learn how to fingerpick Jim's songs. A lot of patterns are shown in step-by-step review. While this DVD contais a lot of information, it is not for a beginning guitarist. You should be comfortable with intermediate level playing. Overall I would give this DVD a 4 out of 5 rating.

Summary: Good as it gets
Comment: Ok, there are some guitar instructional videos that have some guy cranking on a guitar telling you to play this or that note/chord at the same time and blowing through it, and for him it's right because he's played it a thousand times. This is not that video. The teriffic video quality allows very close up neck shots, the measures are played, described, played again and discussed thoroughly. All notes are clearly shown, the author takes time to even discuss tidbits about Jim's style in the songs, riffs that are essential to songs, etc. The best I've seen so far in guitar vids. I learned "Operator" the hard way by struggling through 5 different versions of online tabs and you tube junk. Buy this and you can plat these songs in a few hours. It rocks.
