• Initiation – his tribute to the Aboriginal people of Australa.
Whether you’re a beginner or a professional, you’ll find Tommy’s video instructions easy to follow. The segments on rhythm guitar, melody playing and lead guitar are clearly presented and backed up by on-screen “fretboard graphics” and a pdf files on the disc in music notation for the more advanced player.
