Jasun Tipton Chops from Hell DVD

technomancer · 11-27-2006, 10:43 PM

I got my copy of Jasun Tipton's Chops from Hell DVD today, and I have to say I am slightly pissed. Knowing Jasun is exclusively a seven string player, I expected there would be some cool 7 string runs on the DVD. WRONG! The first thing he does is tune up and tell everybody to not worry about the low B as everthing on the DVD is for six strings

His playing is freaking godlike, but it was a letdown as I was hoping for some seven string content

Yeah I got a copy at the same time I got the Tiptun DVD. Seems pretty good from a complete noob standpoint thus far (I only had time to watch the first few minutes).

I own the other 3, so I hope his new one isnt too basic as intended by the title, because the licks in the other 3 weren't too hard and I dont want to be dissapointed

BTW thanks for the heads up on Jasuns DVD

Well, the first few minutes were proper hand positioning, how to hold the pic, etc so I imagine the rest of it is probably going to be pretty basic. That was the reason I bought it as, like I've said in multiple other posts, I'm reteaching myself to play.

As for the Jasun DVD don't get me wrong, it looks like it's probably got some pretty cool runs on it, just no seven specific stuff. The funny thing is he uses his Zero Hour custom seven with the EMG in the bridge for the video

I guess it's just to make the DVD accessible to all guitarists, as, for all we can complain about it, more people play sixes than sevens...

I'm sure with a little thought you could expand the licks to cover all seven strings.

Tom Kopyto's DVD has some cool seven-string specific stuff...

That sucks. Write the guy an email and direct his attention to this site. Dude needs to recognize.

Seriously, I think that you were right to expect at least a bit of 7.

He'll be recognizing soon enough, since I'm sending off his interview today.

I'll ask him, but I'll bet the "make it accessible to all guitarists" bit is correct. I'm sure it's something he has to do regularly, being a teacher.
