Although only the basics, there's some really good tips and tricks. The ballads section (lesson three) had a tasty triplet lick that was new to me.

Just a couple of minutes to explain.....and a lifetime to master.

Well, it takes a lifetime to master any style, but in all honesty there's nothing in those lessons that's beyond anyone here. It's all bog-standard stuff, albeit with a few cool quirks (everyone has their own take on things).

 

It took me about a year to get reasonably fluent with brushes, from only 20-60 mins practice a day. Not exactly a lifetime. OK, it took longer to develop style and start exploring my own ideas, but you can get up and running with the basics after only one or two sessions...and these video lessons are great for that IMO.

 

GO FOR IT!
