Mayes is a wonderful teacher. He is knowledgeable, he is humble, he takes the time to review difficult portions in detail and has the common sense and courtesy to speed through repetitive or simple tasks to get to the meat of the knowledge and techniques. I have bought or rented every DVD he's put out with the exception of the new Inlay course and I liked them all very much. If you rent them, pull out a pen & paper because you will want to make notes on his techniques, tips, vendors & jigs. He uses modest equipment, good technique & horse-sense, and he makes the lessons fun. One couldn’t ask for more in a luthiery instruction video. If he made a book to accompany these DVD’s I’d order it the day it became published.
