They kind of complement each other. 'Rock Fusion' is kinda general, and covers the main elements that make up his style, whereas 'Rock Guitar Improvisation' follows on from it, and covers the same stuff in a lot more detail (plus there's some awesome performance footage).

You and me both man...the only other guys I've seen with that particular Steinberger are Buckethead and Vito Bratta. There was one on Ebay a few years ago that I really really wish I donated some body parts to get.

My question was where I could get the DVD's. Id appreciate it if you anyone could help me.

I think that's one of the rarest Steinberger models out there. As far as I remember from doing research a couple of years ago, it was out only in Australia and Asia for a year or two in the 80s, and kind of bombed, so they're pretty much impossible to find nowadays. Supposedly they were built with very ingenious technology but it was a bit ahead of its times.

If you were to make a scale with Holdsworth on one end and Henderson on the other, Garsed would be in the middle, if you follow my drift.

Yeah, he seems to be a pretty interesting dude. I watched a couple of his videos yesterday and they were hilarious. Ed REALLY had sex with his girlfriend!

Regarding his scale choices, I've heard him say in interviews that he doesn't use many esoteric scales; he uses the same modes that most people use, but adds lots of chromatic notes, and always targets the notes of the chords he's playing over, which is why his playing sounds so melodic and sophisticated, even when he's just jamming over a simple groove. He's a great one to study for any rock or metal guitarist who's interested in developing fusion-style phrasing, as he uses similar thought processes to jazz/fusion soloists, but in more rock context, and in his instructional videos he makes the thinking behind improvising a lot more accessible.

Did Brett actually ever release anything that can be easily understood / studied by laymen of the guitar, and not necessarily seasoned shred-dogs? I'd be somewhat interested.

Wow, talk about PHRASING. Effortless.

Do you mean instructional stuff, or albums?
