I am a huge Nancy Wilson fan so just the fact that Nancy did the video required me to pcsrhaue it. It was great having the focus on Nancy while she chats about her music and plays guitar. It felt very Up close and personal . I loved every minute of it. However; trying to follow her instruction made me realize I am incapable of re-creating anything Nancy does on her guitar. She is just too far out of my league. I thought I was a pretty decent acoustic guitar player until I watched this video. Not even her verbal explanations and visual demonstrations enabled me to play these songs with any confidence. Because of my faith that Ms. Wilson is perfect .. the fault must lie with me.
