4.0 out of 5 stars Cool to have this classic on DVD, August 25, 2006

This review is from: Albert Lee-Instructional Guitar DVD (DVD)

I just got the DVD, but it is barely different than my VHS copy. In fact, it looks like it was made from a production copy (like the one we've all purchased) and not the master. Very high contrast, tons of video noise, 'clay face' artifacts and piss poor soft image. Audio sounds as good as it did before. Sheesh. Oh well, at least I didn't have to digitize it. This video has been around since 1983. Albert is fascinating. The tab is confusing for some of the licks, which are in a non-standard tab format. Get your right hand ready, and prepare to get frustrated! 2 stars DVD, 5 stars Albert, 3 1/2 stars instructional.

1.0 out of 5 stars Only Half The Examples have REAL Tab, March 6, 2011

This review is from: Albert Lee-Instructional Guitar DVD (DVD)

Only half the examples have REAL tab. The rest have a number-intensive second-rate substitute for tab. This so-called educational video has other shortcomings as well. Albert Lee is not a very good music teacher. His "slow" playing is way too fast. Combine that with the lack of REAL tab and you've got a DVD worth passing up. You can find Albert's licks on the web for free, in accurate REAL tab.

5.0 out of 5 stars Extremely Enlightening, February 12, 2007

This review is from: Stanley Jordan-Instructional Guitar DVD (DVD)

As a guitar lifer, I enjoy learning new techniques. After seeing Stanley Jordan perform on a local TV morning show, then at a high-profile, yet intimate, jazz club in Seattle, I was amazed. Now to find this DVD, I guess I am truely enlightened;-)

This DVD covers not only his performance technique, but he discusses how he began and evolved his technique from childhhood. Mr. Jordan can be described as an artistic engineer of musical technique.

He discusses his guitar modifications, equipment flexibility, early invention attempts, and the origins of his playing style. He is a jazz-style virtuoso who can't resist throwing in licks from Hendrix & Page.

If you're a budding, or seasoned, guitar player who thinks the latest metal shredders are gods, buy this DVD ... then look more closely at your prior idols. Many of them acknowledge Jordan's influence. Breadth AND depth of talent (not just stage presence) is HERE.
