Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The Who's legendary John Entwistle gives a personal bass lesson that covers fingering, licks, octave style, chords, hammer-ons, pull-offs, picking techniques, harmonics, soloing concepts, walking bass lines, string-bending and phrasing all in the famous Entwistle style. Here is a unique chance to learn from the man who wrote the book when it comes to rock 'n' roll electric bass.

5.0 out of 5 stars Damn, I Still Can't Play Like Him., August 22, 2006
By Terence Dollard (Hauppauge, NY United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'd like to say this DVD made all the difference in my playing, but I'd have to be John Entwistle to figure it all out. The DVD is great because it is an archive of the creative process of a lost musical genius. Getting past the few practicable tricks, there's some of John's musical philosophies saved for future generations. I know it sounds silly, but imagine having Hendrix sit down and dissect his playing, or Mozart discuss his thoughts on composition with someone who asks the questions you would.

Its also amazing how video production has changes over the past 20 years. The picture is good, but you can see the improvements in cameras and tapes.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Quiet One talks, August 16, 2006
I like the segment where John admits that his little finger is used just for show. John honestly demonstrates his style of playing. He says that he would be bored to just play the bass in the standard way; he needs to solo to completely express himself . John had a easy going side to his personality, and he carefully answers questions. Some things can't be explained in words, but John does a great job at it. He turns his treble and volume to full and lets the chips fall where they may. This is a great DVD to watch over and over; I plan to watch it many times. Thanks John for taking the time to show us your style.

5.0 out of 5 stars Expanding bass solo technique, July 31, 2006
By J. Pearl "J Pearl" (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
John Entwistle demonstrates bass solo and rhythmic techniques by himself, and then jams with lead guitarist Arlen Roth, who questions The Ox further on his approach to bass. This gives viewers the chance to focus on Entwistle's bass playing without having to strain to hear it through the deluge (as John described it) of The Who's power chords, drum assaults and slinky synthesizers. Entwistle emerges as an unselfish innovator who was willing to share his skills with others. His deadpan wit quietly perks up the proceedings as well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Entwistle is the best! Even after he left the building ....
Five stars for the greatest bassist ever.
But how come there aren't any reviews yet for this DVD, which has been out for more than a week now??
