This review is from: Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom, Melodic Speed, Shred & Heavy Riffs Level 1 (DVD)

I got this DVD figuring it would be cool too learn some COB tunes...it turned out to be a metal boot camp. I like the hands on approach, along with the fact that each section is straight forward, and the support site has some handy tips too.

2.0 out of 5 stars not bad but not good either, March 12, 2010

This review is from: Alexi Laiho of Children of Bodom, Melodic Speed, Shred & Heavy Riffs Level 1 (DVD)

I didnt recieve the book that is to go along with the dvd, but I was still able to figure out most of the information. I own the beginner rock guitar course with John McCarthy and the two lessons that follow. This lesson doesnt even compair to the Beginner rock guitar dvd. Even though it is not heavy metal guitar, he still teaches you everything you could learn from this dvd, plus much more. You could learn something from this but I would advise to go with the other one I mentioned. Good luck

As far as an intro to metal guitar the information shared is very good but it is all covered briefly in a very production line style manner. It seems like all of Alexis parts were done in one take and you almost get the feeling he doesnt really want to be there. His section on singing & playing at the same time is priceless. So production wise its pretty bodgy but who cares when the technique your after is all there. Worth a look.
