Our latest Guitar Control Review includes a breakdown of the popular Claude Johnson series. Best known for his series of instructional DVDs designed to inspire and teach those wishing to learn the art of the guitar, Johnson also has a series of websites to provide further guidance and inspiration.

Responsible for finding the newest and best talent in music, he's currently teaming with newcomer Sol Philcox, who was invited and is now studying in Nashville alongside Brent Mason, a legend in his own right. So what is Johnson up to these days?
He's promoting his new site, chickenpickinchops.com in which he showcases the incredibly talented Philcox, who's in his infancy of what promises to be an exceptional musical career. Johnson, who's as proud as his many fans are, certainly knows talent when he sees it. He hasn't missed a beat with his venture with Philcox. He inspires Philcox to team with him for a series of new DVDs designed for those who are more inclined to enjoy, therefore play guitar for, country music. Johnson's personality shows through once again. His calm and effective presence puts his clients at ease and assures each who's watching any of his DVDs that they too can master the guitar. To Johnson, it makes no difference if he's demonstrating the latest techniques used by the hard rockers of the heavy metal genre or if he's instructing those wishing to play a soft gospel lullaby, he has the gift and lays it bare for anyone willing to take it.

The future couldn't look brighter for Johnson. He's blessed and he knows it. His immediate plans include following Philcox's rise and to, as he says it, "keep on keepin' on". If you've never witnessed the magic of being instructed by one of music's great, you owe it to yourself to invest in at least one of these very popular DVD collections. See for yourself at any of Johnson's websites, including ultimatebeginnerguitar.com, virtuosoguitarsecrets.com or guitarscalesystem.com .
