"What does PAL & NTSC mean?"

PAL & NTSC are the two main video standards used globally for televisions, DVD players etc. As a rough guide PAL is predominantly used in the UK, Europe and many parts of Asia and Africa and NTSC features mostly in the US, Canada, most of South America and Japan. If you are not sure of the video standard you use in your country then click here for more information.

"What region are your DVDs?"

All of our LickLibrary branded DVDs are 'Region Free' / 'Region 0' as they are educational and therefore have no geographical playback restrictions apart from the video format (read 'Can I watch a PAL DVD on a NTSC based system & vice versa' for more information).

"Can I watch a PAL DVD on a NTSC based system & vice versa?"

Whilst it is generally possible for PAL set top DVD players to play NTSC formatted discs (if the DVD player is ‘Multi REGION’ capable), unfortunately most NTSC set top players by default CANNOT play PAL DVDs unless the device is 'Multi FORMAT' capable (not be confused with 'multi REGION') which in this case such NTSC set top players can convert PAL format DVDs on the fly to play directly on a NTSC TV (but you will need to check with your DVD player's documentation or manufacturer to confirm this).

"I live in a country that uses NTSC, is there any way I can watch a PAL format DVD?"

Yes there is! Apart from getting your hands on a 'Multi FORMAT' set top DVD player (mentioned above) the other easy option you have is to use your computer's in-built DVD player, as ALL computer based DVD players (on both PC and Mac) are NOT subject to video format restrictions and will happily play BOTH PAL & NTSC DVDs irrespective of which country you live in. Please note that DVD players used in games consoles (X Box, Playstation, Wii etc) DO NOT always support both video formats so again you will have to check with the manufacturer for more information.

Product Description

Award-winning instrumentalist Rob Ickes has created a comprehensive lesson that will help you master the resonator guitar. He covers everything from fine-tuning the strings to bar position, back-up techniques, picking style, and how to achieve good tone, timing and volume control.
Rob teaches a myriad of useful and important picking elements: the best hand positions for fast and clean playing, how to avoid excessive pick and string noise and other essential tips. Banjo-like forward and reverse rolls provide important workouts for developing smooth picking, enabling you to play a basic melody and then add rolls to fill out the arrangement.
Bar technique is the key to good slide playing, and Rob covers every aspect of this: how hard to press, hammer-ons and pull-offs, muting strings, developing 'tilting' technique for cleaner playing and the special hand positions necessary to play bar slants. Whether you want to play in a bluegrass band or explore country, blues, Hawaiian or other styles, this video will get you on the right track.
74 minutes.
