Dan Erlewine is the ultimate instructor. This video picks up where Fret Basics left off and gets into more complicated fretting screnarios. It is the next best thing to spending a week in Dan's shop!
Great video. Perfect to get your teeth wet in fretting. Thanks!
Dan Erlewine is a man who clearly likes fretwork. It may well be his passion and calling in life. While the action and set up tapes from Mr. Erlewine are a bit dry (although excellent), he comes alive when he talks about fretwork and neck work. After watching this series (basic fretwork, advanced fretwork 1 and 2) I've tackled several partial refrets and numerous bits of action and neck work. I MIGHT have figured it out from the books, but these videos sure saved me a lot of mistakes and made the process clear. It's one thing to read "heat the frets with a soldering iron prior to removing..." How Long? How Hot? What am I looking for? The video makes it clear - I surely would have applied too much heat for far too long if I hadn't seen these videos.
If you need or want to do fretwork, and don't have access to live hands on learning from an expert, these are very helpful videos.
You should note down on everything..it is really worth ..to refret your guitar.. Why pay over a hundred dollars to the so called your guitar repair man ( who would only dust/ clean and polish) from your local store. Buy a few tools make some jig (from project guitar.com).
This DVD is really worth...rent both...
