This is a great video for guitar instruction. Version 1 from Al.

Anyway this is a great video for all those which enjoy Al's style. Please pay the price it is worth it in the long run.

Good luck.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the experienced as well as a new guitar player, March 19, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Al Di Meola [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I have used this video to learn so many new technics in my playing. I have noticed a great improvment not just in play AL's songs but all music. It is especially great for the young players, this way they can avoid bad habits from the start. I thing the video was great I still use it to review leads as well as running excersices in playing. All the best to those who love to play.

This review is from: Al Di Meola [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Filled with snippets of Mr. Di Meola playing guitar with his 'World Sinfonia' band, while also focusing primarily on his incredible technique, this video is ideal for both musicians who would like to know and play as Al does, as well as entertain any fan who is amazed by both his techniqual and composition skills. This video is a little old, about 10 years or so, and while the music is at least as old, it still is worth checking out. I feel that the 40 or so dollar price range is a little unacceptable, considering not only that the tape is rather old, but that the tape only comes with a 20+ page paperbacked booklet which only focuses mostly on solos. Still, though, it's the only instructional video that Mr. Di Meola has made so far, and you aren't going to find much better, as far as instructional videos from incredibly talented musicians go. I would recommend this product to either intermediate to advanced musicians, as Al's technique and mastery of the instrument far surpasses anything that a beginning guitarist could comprehend, and therefore I wouldn't recommend that a 'newbie' attempt to play these impossibly fast solos (although it is good for practice when slowed down!).
