What guitarists,
Guitar Magazines, & songwriters are saying about...
 “There
are a zillion guitar instruction videos out there, some of
them good and some of them just so-so. This year I came
across a terrific one, entitled ‘Lick*tionary – The
Songwriter’s Guide to Great Guitar!’. Veteran Nashville
guitar ace/songwriter Denny Sarokin takes you through
literally hundreds of exercises over several hours that
break every major style of guitar playing from the past
several decades into simple, easy-to-understand building
blocks that anyone, from beginner to pro, can use. This
two-DVD set is a full-fledged college course in guitar
styles. There’s also a third disk containing a tab/chord
workbook. Be prepared to spend lots of time working through
this package—it’s worth every minute.”

“Lick*tionary’ is great! It’s like having over a hundred
guitar lessons at the touch of a button - for less than I
paid for one. It makes complicated sounding Nashville guitar
licks remarkably easy to learn. Now my guitar sounds like a
whole band.”
Brad Rowe, Songwriter

"Denny, I purchased your DVD at
(songwriter’s festival) Tin Pan South in March 2006. Well,
you did it again! I Wrote a new song the other day but
couldn’t replicate on my guitar what I was hearing in my
head. Pulled out “Lick*tionary” and lo and behold, there was
exactly what I needed!
This is the best money I’ve spent in years! I love your
product!”

“I received my DVD about a week ago and I
haven't been able to do anything else but watch it, practice
with it, and learn from it. I feel it's helped me a lot
already and I've only had it a week. The worksheets are very
clear and easy to understand. Great job!”

“I love ‘Lick*tionary’! The DVD is easy to
watch, and presents a lifetime of guitar techniques in a
concise package. I wrote three new songs within two days
using what I learned, all three of which were completely
different from what I usually write
... It was amazing - it broke me out of my mundane,
comfortable guitar routine. I am an intermediate guitar
player, but even the most complex techniques on the DVD are
well explained and easy to apply. Thank you for elevating my
playing!

"I know a lot of great songwriters and players that will
testify that Denny's ‘Lick*tionary’ techniques take them to
a new level of inspiration and enthusiasm for playing,
writing and performing.”

“I have never, in 13 years, used my (Wilhagans
Songwriter’s Nights) email to advertise any product before,
but I have found something worth mentioning to you - ‘Lick*tionary’,
a comprehensive collection of every little nugget you need
for accompanying yourself. There is SO much here - chord
groupings, grooves, open tunings, rhythm playing, blues,
finger-style, even Bossa Nova. Plenty of basics for
beginners, and loads of ‘aha’ moments for even the most
veteran picker.”
Kathy Hussey / Winner of Kerrville New Folk Competition

" ‘Lick*tionary’ is GREAT! My work
schedule doesn't allow much time to schedule lessons. With
‘Lick*tionary’, my lesson is ready when I am, noon, evening,
or midnight! Your presentation is simple enough for a
beginner like me, but also advanced enough that I'll still
be watching and learning years from now.”
Robert Wagener / Songwriter

“I had been playing guitar for 40 years. As
a songwriter I thought my playing was already ‘good enough’.
I was mistaken. ‘Lick*ionary’ taught me so many new avenues
to freshen up my writing and add those little touches that
push a song over the top.
When you take what Denny shows you - and then listen to
current radio - you'll find a whole toolbox full of ideas
that will help you raise up your songs to the next level. I
highly recommend this product."

 “
‘Lick*tionary’ is very insightful for the beginner or
intermediate player who aspires to fill in some gaps as it
pertains to accompaniment of a singer. Denny has done a good
job analyzing the fills, grooves, picking patterns chord
structures, bass lines and hooks found in much of past and
present popular music. His examples are well explained and
executed, and easily applied. In the sections, Rhythm
Grooves, Denny breaks down the techniques of rhythm guitar
as it relates to several styles such as pop, bluegrass,
rockabilly, rock, bossa nova and Celtic. He does a good job
in explaining not only the techniques but the rhythmic
differences in these styles, Examples of playing dynamically
as applied to each are of great interest. ‘Lick*tionary’
should be useful for the aspiring singer/songwriter who is
looking to tune up their skills and understanding of
accompaniment.” |
