5.0 out of 5 stars You'll be Bass Rocking in No Time!, November 5, 2006

By	C. A. Cole (WV) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I'm so glad that I ordered this DVD. I've been playing bass (self-taught) for a while now, and don't have the time for real lessons; so this gives me the confidence that I needed to know what to do on the bass. It starts off basic and builds upon that foundation. Don't rush ahead--take your time and you'll be rocking along in no time flat. If you are looking for a great instructional video, then this is the one for you.

2.0 out of 5 stars There are better - Author is a jerk, November 11, 2008

By	Pro Peace "Blu-Ray is for suckers" (Colorado Springs, CO United States) - See all my reviews

Shows a style of muting notes,etc, that is unique to the the author. It is that way because of his particular physical abnormalities with his hand and fingers that he doesn't let the beginner know.

I contacted him by email with a typical raw beginner question. The reply I got was extremely sarcastic and condescending. He didn't answer the question and didn't reply back when I asked him if I "offended" him with my query", and was more specific with my question. I received NO REPLY.
Honestly, he has moved on and so should we.

Rock House has been upgrading most of their line of DVD lessons with more polished and interested teachers.

I would seek other, more helpful beginner DVDs as well as look at YouTube and other bass lessons. It would be good to wait until Rock Band comes out with a another Beginner DVD video that has a instructor that has some respect for Bass Guitar beginners and really wants to do a good job. I hope it is soon. There are some great forums out there as well.

Thanks,

Jon
