5.0 out of 5 stars in my top 3 favorite instructional videos, June 19, 2010

I own 12 other guitar instructional videos and "Power Lines" is in my top 3, all time favorites*.

Most of the the material is not too advanced, maybe high level beginner and above (you should already know how to alternate pick well, the major scale patterns/modes and a bunch of basic chords in several positions). Steve has a teaching style that persuades you to believe you'll be able to play what he does (maybe not as fast).

Steve plays a couple of songs off "Southern Steel" (my favorite Morse album) and being able to see him play them, live, up close and flawless is so inspiring (although it might make some want to give up guitar...don't).


Only thing I could take any points off for is a lot of what he plays isn't covered in the the short accompanying booklet. I have to pause the video a lot to see what he's doing and which fingers he's using. Also the notation/TAB for "Tumeni Notes" is only for the first part of the song.

* other 2 are Don Latarski's "Guitar Theory Basics" and Frank Gambale's "Chopbuilder".

Had this video when it came out on VHS and had to get it again for DVD... great, useful education from the master.
