During the final part of their career, the Stanley Brothers did most of their recording for the King label, laying down almost 200 sides for the company between 1958 and 1965. All of those tracks are available in box set form should you want them, but the ordinary fan will be satisfied with more selective samplers such as this one, which has a couple dozen cuts originally released in 1961-1966. The Stanley Brothers were a consistent enough act that the songs picked for best-of comps are pretty much up to the taste of the compiler, but this does a fine job both in the quality and the variety of the material presented. In addition to plenty of originals, there are also interpretations of songs by A.P. Carter, Alton Delmore, and traditional items.

Scotty Anderson is a true Master of the Telecaster with an incredible personal style that he demonstrates on this disc. Double and triple stops, unique right-hand techniques, wide-split double stops, chicken pickin’, open string banjo- and steel-styles, and Travis picking are just some of the wonders he demonstrates and explains during this feast of red hot guitar playing. A dazzling instructional gem!

The Telecaster™ is the only guitar to have ever spawned its own cult of "Teleplayers." The Tele's raw, penetrating sound, combined with unique physical characteristics such as a deeply scooped headstock and placement of its volume and tone controls enable Teleplayers to exploit techniques and sounds not available on other guitars. In this presentation, Telemaster Arlen Roth teaches you all the classic licks and riffs of the great Telemasters, as well as techniques such as pedal steel bends, behind-the-nut bends, chicken pickin', classic rockabilly rhythm styles, blues techniques, shuffle patterns, full chord bends, banjo rolls, and more.

You’ll play your way through Monster Nashville Guitar in a cognitive manner – no tedious notation, theory or exercises to bog you down. Ladd presents an extensive series of lessons based on his instrumental, “Outrun the Train” which earned him the Guitar Superstar competition’s top spot. “The tune is an ideal instructional tool because it features a ton of my favorite licks and covers a wide range of up-tempo ‘Tele-melee’ material in an ear-friendly way, utilizing a common key, tempo and theme for ease of reference.”

With his laid-back rootsy style, J.J. Cale is best known for writing "After Midnight" and "Cocaine," songs that Eric Clapton later made into hits. But Cale's influence wasn't only through songwriting – his distinctly loping sense of rhythm and shuffling boogie became the blueprint for the adult-oriented roots rock of Clapton and Mark Knopfler, among others…
