If you own a Rickenbacker 12-string, get this video.Dec 23, 2005
By MusicalFan
This video is a great companion for your 12-string guitar. Before I bought my Ricky 370-12, I bought this DVD. Roger's technical demonstrations such as changing strings, and adjusting the truss rods are enlightening, making a seemingly daunting task less so. Even if you don't have a Ricky, the song lessons are useful on any 12-string guitar.
The lessons are well laid out, and the solos are played first at their regular tempo, and then slowed down for ease of learning. Roger's hybrid picking style is also explained here, but it isn't necessary to learn it to play these songs (I'm a flatpicker). The booklet accompanying this disc contains tablature for these as well, making this a fairly complete learning package.
The only thing I would ask for would be some audio backing (play-along) tracks to accompany these lessons, so you could play what you've learned with a "band". However, the lack of these in no way detracts from my enjoyment of it, and I recommend this DVD very highly.

12-String HeavenMar 13, 2005
By Charles Kahler
One of only a few video lessons featuring the 12-string guitar.
Aside from teaching "Turn,Turn, Turn", "Mr. Tambourine Man", "Eight Miles High", "On Easter Morn He Rose", and "Wasn't Born to Follow", there are some special tips about the Rickenbacker 12-string. Roger shows how to change strings on his guitar, as well as how to change the battery and adjust the truss rod.
Most of the emphasis is on "Turn, Turn, Turn", which features some not-so-easy Travis-style picking.
If you only have a 6-string, this is probably not the video for you.
If you are considering buying a Rickenbacker, this video should help you make a decision one way or the other.

Roger McGuinn Instructional DVDOct 15, 2008
By Thomas B.
Roger not only provides good instruction on how to play some of his best songs, step by step, but also provides a lot of insight into the Rickenbacker 12 String. He shows how to replace strings, tune, adjust truss rod, etc. He also talks in great detail about the Rick, it's history & how he plays it. Exceptional DVD. Highly Recommended to anyone wanting to learn how to play electric 12 string & Rickenbackers in particular.

Great tips, many of which I never knewSep 28, 2010
By Edward Benson
"Ed C Benson"
Now Roger did a good job on this. Somewhat endorsing Rickenbacker's 370-RM, named after him, he does an excellent job with close up finger patterns, scales, how to tune the 12-string as opposed to the 6-string, and techniques that really make the 12-string sound like it can ... a fully orchastrated guitar. It also introduced me to the JangleBox which is about as close as you can come to sounding like Roger McGuirre's 370-RM with it's sustain/compression.

Review of Roger McGuinn DVDSep 19, 2010
By Wanda
This was a birthday gift for a friend of mine. He was very surprised and just loved it. He plays a 12-string guitar almost as well as Roger and there is a technique Roger uses that my friend wanted to learn. It is a great DVD.
