1.0 out of 5 stars Eric where are you?, July 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Guitar Method: Eric Clapton [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This guy obviously made the video in his basement. I spent 20 bucks on this that I might as well have burnt. This Curt character teaches scales wrong, riffs wrong, and the tablature that comes with the video is photo copied out of some guys scrap book and is illegable as well as not in proper format. Please shoot me.

1.0 out of 5 stars I paid $ for this? 'Definitely not for beginners', July 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Guitar Method: Eric Clapton [VHS] (VHS Tape)

First off, I bought my first guitar today and decided to spend some dough on some books and videos, locally I found this non-gem, yeah the picture quality reminds me of cable access stations, looks like there was no budget for this, absolutely terrible production values. Proof? Looks like it's an EP recording, but it is in SP.

Being truly guitar ignorant this video did almost nothing for me, he plays the piece once normal then they give a semi-close up and you can't tell what he's doing really unless you are already a very good guitarist and then I figure you wouldn't buy this tape anyho....

I had read interviews on this chap's videos and didn't want one of his, the box didn't indicate who was doing the instruction... and being curious about Clapton (fatal error) I bought it.

I didn't find any other suitable videos locally but I did snag some decent books and a teaching CD that are hopefully 5 million times more helpful to a total beginner such as myself then this BAD video.

1 star is pushing it even!

1.0 out of 5 stars home made, poorly thought out,off the top of his head video, June 25, 1999

This review is from: Guitar Method: Eric Clapton [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Even though there are already some poor reviews of this video I had to add mine. First of all, unless you have the recordings of each of the songs, the "riffs" he tries to teach are meaningless. Curt tends to talk off the top of his head and much of what he talks about is supercilious remarks that take up too much time. The tabs are hand written and the cover looks like it was done on a home computer, and badly (too many different fonts on the cover, a big no-no in desktop publishing). Save your money! Actually, minus 1 star is more accurate. Nothing to learn from this one...
