This DVD shows Tony playing his 12-string basses on four songs in the studio along with other musicians, plus there is an interview in which Tony explains his ideas. Tony told us, "I just outlined a few things in the narrative. To me, no one needs any specific instruction to play the 12. I just conveyed my concepts..." The DVD is about 37 minutes long overall.

The DVD is available for $15 postpaid to the USA / $20 with international shipping on Tony's website, http://www.senny.com

Note: While this is the first commercially available instructional 12-string bass DVD, Amy Humphrey included her own 12-string bass instructional DVD with every copy of the Clatter album "Monarch" that was ordered in advance of the album release date in December of 2006.
