Arlen Roth

Arlen is the father of modern-day guitar instruction, and widely
known as the "Master of the Telecaster". His early "Hot Licks"
series of videos changed the medium by which many of us would
learn guitar, and his book "Slide Guitar" influenced many of
today's guitar heroes (including Greg)! Greg and Arlen go back to

Woodstock NY, and what Arlen's been up to as of late!
