5.0 out of 5 stars Digs deep with lots of useful information, December 12, 2007

This review is from: Scott Henderson Jazz-Rock Mastery (DVD)

I'm a professional touring guitarist as well as a clinician, and this video is loaded with information for the guitarist who is ready to work. Scott is a good teacher and assumes that you have a basic knowledge of modes and jazz chords. He digs deep into applications of scales over different types of chords: some modal ideas and some pentatonic uses that take you outside the key centers. This is a DVD to watch over and over, and I imagine that the learning will continue over many viewings. As I find with most videos, if you learn only one useful thing from it, it is an incredible value. This is essentially a series of lessons offering an in depth education on scale use over chords.

This is a compilation of his two vhs tapes. The Jazz Fusion Improvisation section covers all the scales, arpeggios, triads, outside playing, etc, you could ask for.

Melodic Phrasing is a real gem. Scott does an amazing job at teaching phrasing. This DVD is about improvisation and making musical statements not just learning the top 50 guitar licks. In my ears Scott is the best improvising guitarist on the scene today.

This review is from: Scott Henderson Jazz-Rock Mastery (DVD)

I have been waiting for someone to put this out in dvd form. This is a complete guitarists guide to some of Henderson's insights on what to play over what chords inside the tonal center of the chord and outside of it as well. He's one of the best in phrasing and he gives you some very useful insight to that also. This video helped me a long time ago and now that it's on dvd, it is helping me again. Henderson is one of the true masters of his instrument.
